Just for shiggles:

What are the chances that Reid or Schumer would follow the "Biden rule" if the situation were reversed?

They would shove the most leftist pick they could find down our throats in short order if they had the White House and the Senate. Consequences and political backlash be damned. Anybody still talking about the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings? NO!

The pick is in, LONG after the b!tching has faded from memory.

Politics is hardball. You win some you lose some. Merrick Garland and the Dems lost the battle for Scalia's seat, and good on Turtle for playing things the right way for once. RBG lost her bet that Hillary would win and would appoint her successor. Tough.

If we get another opportunity to place a SCOTUS justice, and we defer where the Dems SAH wouldn't, then we deserve what we get.
