Ok, so it was 76 years and not 80.
We have nearly 8 decades and the fact that rejecting lame duck nominees has been used many times prior.

The caption under the picture of Biden:

Joseph R. Biden, while a senator in 1992, said that if a Supreme Court vacancy occurred, President George Bush should not appoint a nominee until after the election, or should compromise on a nominee with the Senate.

They wanted to save Garland the embarrassment.
I think the Democrats had a lot more amo on Bork than the Republicans would have on Garland.
Bork was a weird duck.

They did.

Garland's nomination expired on January 3, 2017, with the end of the 114th Congress. The nomination remained before the Senate for 293 days,[6] the longest nomination process in the history of Supreme Court nominations.[7] With the failure of Garland's nomination, President Donald Trump, a Republican, successfully nominatedNeil Gorsuch in 2017.[6]

I voted for Trump thinking I'd get at least one justice.
Now that we can get two, I'd vote Trump all day
Frickin' eh!
And we might get four before it's all over with.
RGB goes down after Trump is re-elected and word is Clarence Thomas has said he will retire if Trump is re-elected and things look favorable.
Now we just need Byer to bow out and we could get five total.

A Republican president in his last year of two terms, who had already appointed two far-right justices to the court.
You gonna tell me that Schumer and the Dems would have given him another nomination?

I'm not a liberal, and conservatives make me sick because I'm dead center, not left, not right, middle.
Did I mention that I don't lean left, while also not leaning right? Because it's true.

so violate the Constitution and then hope it doesn't get struck down for it's illegality? what could go wrong?
How would he be violating the constitution if the Senate failed to advise him on a nomination?

You should probably go read the relevant text in the Constitution.
I have. "with the advice and consent of the Senate" shall appoint.
So you think that the Senate has a pocket veto in that they can just refuse to advise the president on a nomination.
If the president asked for the advice of the Senate by a reasonable deadline and the Senate refused to provide such advice, then what in the constitution would prohibit him from having the appointmnent sworn in?

Let’s not forget where this all began with Democrats blocking nominee, Robert Bork.
They didn't block him, they voted against him.

Naw they "Borked" him.

Lol at you for thinking the Republican controlled Senate would have confirmed Garland anyway.
Then why didn't they just take a vote and be done with it?

The question is not whether they would have given him another nomination, the question is whether they would have held a vote on the nomination.

That's what I like. If you give them exactly what they want they would oppose it.
Makes perfect sense.
quote:Trump is not under investigation for anything, and certainly not for treason.
Also, a President under investigation for treason (maybe not on paper, but that's what it boils down to)
I'm sure all of our progressive friends on here will call this guy out and agree with what I have written, right?
