What about the Biden Rule?It was Harry Reid who changed the rules for judicial appointees. It did not apply to the SCOTUS. Robert Bork was rejected by an honest vote, an act of common decency & respect withheld from Merrick Garland.
You're just spewing at this point.
What about the Biden Rule?
No. You need a good old fashioned "fuck off and die." The words are still as true today, as they were then. So, FOAD, you TOAD.
You're probably the kind of person that watches your sister in the shower, while you giggle and pound your tiny pud.
Rhetoric is rhetoric....convenient lies abound in politics. This is a cage match...no use pretending otherwise.You realize there's no such thing as the 'Biden Rule', right? They took something he said once that was never acted on and then tried to act like it was some sort of binding precedent.
I mean we all know it was a convenient lie to justify what they were going to do anyway but I don't think they expected anyone to actually believe it.
And who tf put fresh batteries in taj anyway?
Like I said before you're naive.
Those who ignore or forget history are doomed to repeat it.
Check and balances on an ethnic supremacist are going to be gone completely and you're cheering and calling me insane while completely ignoring moments like this:

Its annoying as hell being called out on your bullshit I imagine. Your response is understandable.. You should take this oppertunity to better yourself instead of this bs.You're a complete asshole and moronic troll to boot...and I'm pointing it out cause it's your MO. I've read your posts for some time now and haven't seen anything that would have me believe otherwise. If you actually value truthful, honest dialog as you previously implied...you certainly aren't acting like it.
Dang, it was DEMOCRAT majority leader Reid, not Schumer, but it was done with Schumers approval.It was Harry Reid who changed the rules for judicial appointees. It did not apply to the SCOTUS. Robert Bork was rejected by an honest vote, an act of common decency & respect withheld from Merrick Garland.

What about the Biden Rule?
Biden's floor speech was on June 25, 1992, more than three months later in the election cycle than it is now.
There was no Supreme Court vacancy to fill.
There was no nominee to consider.
The Senate never took a vote to adopt a rule to delay consideration of a nominee until after the election.
Nonetheless, Biden took to the floor in a speech addressing the Senate president to urge delay if a vacancy did appear. But he didn't argue for a delay until the next president began his term, as McConnell is doing. He said the nomination process should be put off until after the election, which was on Nov. 3, 1992.
McConnell did his job. Love that guy.McConnell broke the norms on appointment then trashed the filibuster to confirm Gorsuch. It's a pretty bad faith argument to justify flipping that around the other way because it's what you think the Democrats will do. It is however a good way to ensure the Dems take the same tack once they get some power back so it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
A lot of the practical functioning of the republic is rooted in it's traditions and norms. If those are no longer impediments of any kind then shit is going to get out of hand.
Hey look, a politifact link. I thought that shit went out with obama once they were exposed but looks like some sheep are still drinking the Kool Aid. lol! You've been duped, bro.You must have believed the old turtle, Huh? Shame on ya' for being so gullible-

That was right at the top of a .41 second google for "Biden rule". You look like a fool repeating obvious partisan lies.

They really don't care how many times Politfuct or Snoops are proven wildly biased, they are biased in their favor so they cite them.Hey look, a politifact link.

It’s too late for that. The norm for this has been broken so now it has become just another partisan fight. If the Democrats take the senate they should refuse to confirm any judicial appointment except for those they submit, until they either retake the presidency or lose the Senate again.
Once your counterparty has shown they no longer wish to play by the rules of cooperation, continuing to cooperate no longer serves a purpose. It’s basic game theory - credible retaliation until their behavior improves.
I said what I think should happen. I think they should wait.
As far as what the democrats " would " do. I think they would do the same thing as the republicans.
You are welcome to your opinion.
Lol did that tickle? Yea nothing to see over here, just three conservative rightwingers ganging up around one of the only females on the board while rubbing eachother off.. nothing especially stereotypical conservative ABOUT THAT. Hahahahaha god you are a sorry predictable bunch of old assholes.

McConnell won't wait.
And "Both sides!", of course.
I know...
I'm glad you agree that both sides would do it.
Deny all you want...
You project to justify the misdeeds of the GOP Senate. It's really impossible to say what might happen in the future. For now, I'll take McConnell's word that he intends to do it again & as many times as possible, too. He'll pack the court with right wing ideologues & there's really nothing to be done other than to condemn it & vote the GOP out of power.
I'm not trying to justify anything. We are both saying the same thing with respect to what the Senate will most likely do.
Our only difference is you think the Democrats wouldn't do the same if the roles were reversed. I think that they would.
I personally think they should wait until after the election.
