None of it was heard because there was no support in the Senate so by law Biden had to move forward. Trump on the other hand had a well coordinated effort to actually overturn the election that happened to fail.

Huge difference.
Biden didn’t say that senate democrats should prevent Bush 42 from nominating someone late in his term? you’re denying that?

Biden was talking about late in an election, nothing about a nomination between an election and the end of the term which is exactly what Mitch did.

Biden said late in a term. Obama tried to nominate Garland
late in a term.

therefore, they did what biden insisted the democrats do

i’m talking about garland.

With Barrett, it was bad luck for your side, but again, the american people chose a republican president and a republican senate. as your man crush liked to say, elections have consequences.

after what your side did to Bork and Kavanaugh, it’s interesting that you’re clutching your pearls when republicans play hard ball too.

I’m all for a return to civility, but only if both sides agree to it. The GOP is done taking cheap shots and being asked to respond with velvet gloves. That ended with Mitt Romney. Get used to it.
