Robert, are your concerns about future decisions for decades to come or her ability to be confirmed before the election?
For those who missed it, Joe Biden was on record in 2016
DEMANDING that the Senate vote on a presidential nomination to the Supreme Court, even in an election year!
“The Constitution clearly states that the President ‘shall’ -not may- ‘shall’ nominate someone to the Supreme Court when there’s a vacancy. That includes the Senate consulting...but voting.
For 17 years I was the chairman or ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which oversees nominations to the Supreme Court. And every nominee, including Justice Kennedy, in an election year, got an up or down vote by the Senate.
Not much of the time
Not most of the time
EVERY
SINGLE
TIME
And deciding in advance before naming a nominee that their gonna turn their backs, that’s not an option that the Constitution leaves open.
For the sake of the country we all love, we all have to do our job, including the US Senate.”
