Yep. I always assumed the principle involved was that a President cannot nominate a SC judge in his last year when the Senate is held by a party other than his own.
Really not hypocrisy.
First, the “principle” only said don’t nominate before an election. Second, it said the outgoing president could still nominate and have a justice confirmed after the election and before change of power. Third, the principle was only pseudo-used by Republicans, and incorrectly if going by what Biden actually said.
Not interested from ethics lectures from the party that told us for two years that we had to accept the Mueller report and then basically tossed it out the window when it didn’t tell them what they wanted. Dems want war, not ethics.
When McConnell was previously asked that question he said we would have to wait and see if there would be a vacancy. No one said anything. Why the hell didn’t he just say the same thing again?
That’s some real partisan justification right there.
Explain the logic.
So, because “a party” told you that you “had to accept the Mueller report” and that party ‘tossed the report out the window’ you no longer care about ethics. Or something.
Jesus Christ, this is what’s wrong with America today. Someone picks an unrelated perceived slight, and uses that to justify MORE unrelated partisan nonsense.
Surely D Trump is the antithesis of decency? Similarly, McConnell has shown that he is nothing more than a base character who has absolutely no qualms about abandoning principles.
