regarding Merrick Garland, make sure you go watch the position of the democrats and Obama during that same time. Just like McConnel, they are making the opposite argument that they did back then. Dems aren't any different. They are all hypocrites. It isn't about truth or due process, it's about politics. Period. And...elections have consequences. So shut up.

Yes, all politicians are hypocrites... just matters what side of the aisle your own as to whether you give a shite or not.

He claims that the difference is that the Senate and Presidency were occupied by different parties, which makes all the difference.

Exactly and Schumer would shove his cock down turtles throat if the roles were reversed. LOL at thinking the Dems would be cordial and not nominate someone. They did the same shite in 2016

He wasn't the first to make that claim.

Well one was nominated in March, and one won't be nominated until maybe October. Republicans wouldn't allow a vote, then when they couldn't get their guy though, they changed the rules to only need a simple majority.

Didn't Biden say during the 1992 Bush vs Clinton campaign that Bush shouldn't nominate somebody until after the election because the Presidency and Senate majority were opposing parties? Thats the precedent Mitch followed in 2016. Not opposing parties in the White House and Senate this time around

Who gives a shite if it is hypocritical. The previous administration spied on Trump. They concocted a phony Russia collusion story and then had it investigated for two years with phony evidence. They then tried to impeach Trump because he wanted Biden's corruption investigated. frick every Democrat and every person that votes for them.

If you want to get a justice appointed, make sure you control the Senate and presidency. If you don't, then shut the frick up, you don't get to pick the justice. Simple as that

To those spouting the hypocracy of McConnell regarding Merrick Garland, make sure you go read the position McConnell actually held. Agree with his position or not, unlike the Dems, there is no inconsistency in McConnell's approach.
