Harris says Lincoln didn’t nominate a supreme justice before the 1864 election. That’s because when Taney died on 10/13 the senate was out of session. When they returned on 12/6 he nominated Salmon Chase that day and the senate confirmed him that day too.

Can this be used as a rebuttal?
This is how the nearly useless Republican Senators should have handled the Barrett nomination. They opened it up to interviews and hearings opening the door for all sorts of delaying tactics.
Barrett was confirmed to the federal bench a few years ago and could have been confirmed the same day that the Senate received the name. The Repub Senate is barely pro-Trump ... and not very pro-people.
