“... which was in violation of the Biden rule.”
Boo hoo.
Clearly the Democrats have had control of the Senate and White House too many years.
Man we could use Grover Cleveland now!
Shut up, traitor.
I thought SCOTUS was supposed to be apolitical and to uphold the constitution.
And that’s bad because, ...?
While Todd’s statement is untrue...
the fact should be that...
no democrat nominee should make it to the Supreme Court...
because democrats send nominees such sa Garrick Merlant for confirmation.
Republicans did exactly the right thing by refusing Garland’s nomination, as witnessed by how horrible he’s been as the head of the DOJ.
All three women on fhe Supreme Court now are there not because of merit, but because they are women and/or of a minority.
If merit were to be considered over “D.E.I”, democrats would nobody in SCOTUS.
Misleading. Since there has been only one SCOTUS vacancy (Scalia) when there was a Democrat president and a Republican Senate.
Wilson - Democrat control of Senate from 1913-1919, no SCOTUS vacancies in last two years of administration
Roosevelt - no Republican control of Senate
Truman - Republican control of Senate from 1947-1947 - no SCOTUS vacancies
Kennedy - no Republican control of Senate
Johnson - no Republican control of Senate
Carter - no Republican control of Senate
Clinton - Republican control from 1995-2001 - 2 vacancies in 1993 and 1994; no vacancies until 2005
Obama - Republican control of Senate from 2015-2017 - 2 vacancies in 2009 and 2010; Scalia dies in 2016
Biden - no Republican control of Senate
So TOTALLY misleading!!
The Republican Senate in 2016 didn’t confirm Garland. So what! Whoopdeedoo!
The Democrats made it partisan. Ted Kennedy’s legacy.
Good for the Republicans. The other issue is that between Cleveland and FDR, there was only 1 other Dem President (Wilson). During and after FDR, Dems controlled the Senate many more times than Republicans. So the opportunity was simply not there.
LOL. Cleveland appointed Edward Douglass White, who was a Confederate soldier and KKK member. He was a hardcore racist who voted in favor of Plessy. Is that what Chuck wants on the court?
Todd Cries: GOP Hasn’t Confirmed A Dem SCOTUS
Pssst Todd it’s called Marxist control
I don’t see the issue. Look what we get when leftists confirm justices: Wise Latinas, not biologists, and queer trolls.
Cleveland?
Interesting choice for his lie, being as how Cleveland has been the only President to be reelected to nonconsecutive terms . . . so far.
If the “fool-me-once” rule were still active, the Dems’ most recent Trojan horse (Merrick Garland) nominee should keep the Senate from confirming another Dem for generations.
What an idiot
