The author is either willfully clueless or lying. McConnell said there was no precedent for a majority party in opposition to the party of the President approving a Supreme Court justice in an election year. That was beyond clear, said over and over again each and every time. But this author claims the same scenario existed when Barrett was confirmed. Just plain false.
Yep. Republicans controlled the Senate when ACB was nominated. Each party does not like confirming SCOTUS nominees for the opposition party and does not do so in an election year when they control the Senate. That goes back well over a century. Democrats can scream and cry about it all they like but the record shows they do the exact same thing when the roles are reversed.
