That only applies to the 8th year of a President.

Ehhhh, that’s not a rule, it’s a tactic. With Republicans running the Senate, there will be no need to delay her appointment if she leaves before January, 2021.

Harry Reid demonstrated that the rules can be changed. The Dems have declared war on Trump.

The Democrats said it was unfair to do that the Garland. If an opening in the court occurs before the next election, the GOP should just say they agree that it was unfair, and won’t do it again.
