They had already pretty much pledged to do this long ago because it was unacceptable that the Senate has been confirming the nominees of President Trump.
So they are “threatening” to do something they had already pledged to do, regardless of this current vacancy.
Time to play hardball. These are not good people. It would be nice to have the bipartisan rappart that may have existed at one time on this, but the Left put that in the rear-view window long ago. there is no longer any goodwill on the Dem side - and it is time we realized that and started acting like it.
Can you imagine the uproar had the Republicans threatened to do the same thing after Obama nominated Scalia’s replacement?! I sure am glad the Dems are all showing their true colors right before the election. It’s gonna make the choices so easy for the sane Americans that are still left.
