The Biden rule is not a rule. It is an imposed Nazi-style takeover attempt of the judicial system of the highest court in the land.
And , Schumer demands ? Schumer can demand a lot. Then he must tuck tail between legs and move on. As usual.
Yeah, that's why the GOP refused to even hold confirmation hearings on a candidate for almost a year.
Did you read ?
Did I say I was against Dem or Repub holding back on nominations ? Yes
I stated facts on the start of the Biden Rule (get it , Biden) and how I felt about the Biden rule.
Did I bring partisanship into it ? -No.

Someone who doesn't just re-write the constitution from the bench.
Justice Gorsuch, Trump's appointment, wants to rewrite the 4th Amendment!
Gorsuch says he’ll repeal and replace the Fourth Amendment with something terrific thinkprogress.org...
then Trump would have to nominate a more moderate judge to the bench, one who would be more like the outgoing Kennedy.

I believe this is going to be a fight, unlike any other and one that we have not seen in years. And they are going to pull out all of the stops and make it difficult, and rough. Sides after looking at the setting, it is more like one or 2, and all that would be required, would be for all of the Democrats and 2 republican senators not be present, and the Senate can not vote on anything as it would not have a full quorum to do such with, leaving it in short, shut down during that time frame.
Then McConnell would have to order the sergeant at arms to go and arrest/round them up, and if the Democrats play this right, could pretty much delay this until after the election to the point where he has no choice, but to wait until the seating of the new congress.

Potus election is different than midterms
If you think 3 GOP will break with GOP potus before midterms I have some land you may be interested in
This is nba allstar slam dunk
Easiest SCOTUS confirmation ever
It'll be just like Gorsuch...it'll be the Dems that can't keep everyone in line. There are a number of red state senate Dems up for re-election that can't afford to vote against the nominee, especially given that GOP voters will turn out when a SC seat is on the line.

OK, fair is fair. I don't have a problem with them waiting until after the midterm.

That was the first thing that came to my mind. Translated: "Wait until Trump is Impeached" and let the new president pick one...

What would the mid=term elections have to do with it anyway? Why wait. It is not like were going to have a new President, unless Shumer is trying to tell us something.

I don't understand why any true patriot would want our highest court to be stacked with people from one political party.
All that power in the hands of the few is very un-american in my view.
