Disagree.

Obama was a lame duck at the end of his second term.

Trump is neither.

Oh barf. McConnell didn't bring Garland to a vote because he didn't want to. Lame duck had nothing to do with it. If Trump gets a second term and McConnell is still Senate Majority Leader in August of 2024 do you think he'll hesitate for a moment to fill a vacant Supreme Court seat?

Problem is we used the “ Biden Rule” to do that. In context, the “Biden Rule” had ZERO to do with the fact Obama was a lame duck and everything to do with the fact it was a presidential election year. Biden “proposed” the rule during Bush 41s first term - during his re-election year (1992). He was no lame duck.

It would be hypocrisy at its finest. But-if it means replacing RBG-let it happen. Although the left will surely not take it sitting down (riots) and one day they will use it on us for sure ( pay back).
