Oh my God, do you know what the 'Biden rule' is which the republicans relied in when denying the vote?
BIDEN HIMSELF, when Bush was president, said famouslzy that if a president nominates a SCOTUS candidate in an election year, that the senate should refuse a hearing. Biden said that, they call it the Biden Rule!!
So, unless you have no principles, that must mean you think that Biden is scummy.
You really shot yourself in the foot there.
Can't wait to hear your explanation as to why it was OK for Biden to suggest blocking a vote during an election year!

because Biden was trying to convince people not to do something versus the Republicans who actually refused to do what they were supposed to do, It was much later in the election year and there was no SC vacancy. He was saying they should wait until after the election.
