U.S. News ^ | Sept. 18, 2020 | Paul D. Shinkman

DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL nominee Joe Biden argued furiously in 2016 for the Senate to consider a Supreme Court nomination in the midst of an election season, complicating his party's efforts to derail Republicans' stated intent to proceed with President Donald Trump's replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsburg following her death Friday evening.

At least this s a real issue and not a made up article printed as a hit piece.

This nomination will be interesting to watch.

Let Mitch and Donald start the games and watch Biden blather incoherently.
The Senate confirmation hearings will be priceless with Harris tied up like a French whore.

We need more Harris vitriol and more importantly I kinda like following her cheeky shoe choices.

I bet she is a great swimmer, to bad she wasn't Ted Kennedy's date that night.

HRris exposes herself as a hateful witch at the Kavanaugh hearings. Keep her tied up there for a few weeks as she’s the only one on their ticket that can travel and talk somewhat coherently.

This confirmation will keep many Dems home and rob them of the will to fight.

Trump is here to win and this is a big win.

Thomas needs to retire next year so Trump can appoint someone in their 40s to replace him. Don’t want to lose that seat in 2025.

Trump Jr. needs to run for 2024.

Trump Jr. in ‘24...sounds problematic. What if Pence throws his hat in the ring?

Elections have consequences...never let a crisis got to waste.

Senators, get off your asses and DO YOUR JOBS!

And the argument against the vote was the FACT that Obama wasn’t going to be pResident in 2017. He had had his two terms and therefore shouldn’t be nominating in an election year that had two challengers with no incumbent. Period.

I want a fighter too, I just don’t want Trump Jr. fighting his father’s vice-president in the primaries.

After Kavanaugh there’s no reason to have public hearings anymore. The Senators announce their votes before the hearings are even held. The don’t ask questions but rather make campaign commercials. No, this time, Senators submit questions in writing and do interviews in their offices. No more spectacles.
