re: Senate Democrats to filibuster Trump SCOTUS nominee regardless of who it is

The argument doesn't work. It was during an election year with a lame duck POTUS.

This is completely the opposite of that.

Does any Republican even know what "lame duck" means?

A president (or other office holder) is considered a "lame duck" if he/she ran for re-election, was defeated, but has not yet left office because some of the term remains. It is sometimes misused to include a president who was not running for re-election during the period after his/her successor has been elected but before the successor has taken office.

In no situation is the term applicable to any office holder simply because he/she is in his/her last term or the last year of his/her term. The term for president is four years, not three. The idiotic argument by you and others like you that there was some justification for the GOP to blatantly refuse to do its constitutional duty is complete bullshite, and being in ANY way upset or critical whatsoever of Dems for doing it is beyond hypocritical.

But stupidity and hypocrisy are all in a day's work for the post-factual alt-right Trump era.
