[Galatians513]

The Biden rule is nothing but an excuse. Nothing in the Constitution prevents a president from filling a Supreme Court seat in the last year of his term. McConnell blocked Garland because he could. No more and no less.

Agreed, and McConnell is already on record saying he would proceed with a nomination next year, saying the "Biden" rule only applies to a president's second term or some such.

Which would be crap since Biden came up with his "rule" during Bush 41. Just go ahead and fill the seat and quit trying to find lame excuses to justify not confirming Garland.
