when you can’t win according to the rules, throw a tantrum and change the rules…
Kind of like how Mitch McConnell changed the rules to stack the court with conservatives. So classy.

no he did not. he followed something called the biden tule. when biden was a senator, he specifically said that if. president bush tried nominating a supreme court justice near the end of his term, the senate should block him. they named it the biden rule. mcconnell just implemented it.
i think garland should have had a hearing, and then rejected. But mcconnell followed what had already been known as the biden rule, and that’s a fact.

No intellectually dishonesty here …
The new conservatives excuse we are following precedent
However overturning precedent By the SC is fine if we agree with it…

What rules, exactly, did he “Change”?
The process was followed as written.
