Instead, it would be our pragmatic conclusion that once the political season is under way, and it is, action on a Supreme Court nomination must be put off until after the election campaign is over."

"no, he didn't say that"
Are you feeling OK? Yes, he did.
"I didn't conveniently leave anything out as I provided everything he said "
Wrong. Biden said that if a president made a nomination in an election year, the senate should refuse to have a vote. Watch the video!
Even the article you posted to "counter" my argument, admitted he said there should be no nominations in an election year. They just pointed out there didn't happen to be any nominations in that election year, so push never came to shove. But the article you posted, said that the Biden Rule was a rule saying presidents should not make nominations in an election year.
My god, you turned into Pete.
