The democrats said the rule was a bunch of chit when 0 nominated Garland. Now they act like it's as established as Judicial Review.
Trump needs to get in gear and have his nominee ready to go when the organ music starts playing on CNN.
The dems would play it that way. The Republicans should have the nominee on deck and confirmed in a week.
He should follow the Reid rule instead: do whatever you damn well please whenever you damn well feel like it.
Honestly, you think he HASN'T been planning for this? I'm sure he and his team have a slate of candidates drawn up and private discussions are well underway. There's no point for Trump to tip his hand in public now and stir up the hornet's nest of opposition at this point.
