WDMSO, since you claim to dislike makes hypocrisy, please explain this…

When Biden was a senator and Bush was president, Biden said that a sitting president near the end of his term shouldn’t appoint supreme court justices, and if the president tried, the senate should block him. This became
known as the “ Biden rule.”

Then when Biden was VP, he and Obama attempted to violate the Biden rule by nominating Garland. McConnell enforced the Biden rule, and he was attacked.

Then when Trump was president, he did exactly what Biden and Obama attempted to do by filling a vacancy late in the term. Biden was opposed

So Biden flip-flopped on the issue multiple times. It’s ok when democrats want to make a late term appointment, but wrong when republicans do it.

how is that not naked hypocrisy.
