Bull#^&#^&#^&#^&.
They could have treated him with kid gloves and there is NO way the GOP, under Trump would have acted ANY differently then now.

(And I am not excusing the left from this, as they would be doing the same if the roles were reversed. )

As far as your other questions, it is possible for them to debate the record of someone like Barrett without 'attacking women'.... We'll see how it plays out and who the nominee is. I strongly suspect right now the internal polling is centered around which nominee will likely rule in Trump's favor if the election is contested at SCOTUS, as that is the only issue I think Trump actually cares about....

you are speculating. i can rely on graham’s long track record of playing nice with democrats. i didn’t like him, because he was practically a democrat.

bryan, look at the record with scotus.

ginsburg gets 94 votes, meaning almost every republican votes for her.

then biden created the biden rule when bush was president, saying nominations were wrong in an election year. he changed his tune 180 degrees in 2016, and i didn’t see you say he was a hypocrite of the highest order? how is his hypocrisy any different than Graham’s? and you’re voting for Biden, so...

the dems, led by Biden, attacked Bork.

They lynched Clarence Thomas.

Then Kavanaugh.

Bryan, if you want to say that both sides need to grow up, i support that. but i’ve had enough of the gop wearing boxing gloves while
democrats used brass knuckles. there’s no virtue in that. none. there’s only losing.

anyway, i’m curious how you’d differentiate biden’s hypocrisy from graham’s. good luck.

Did I stutter and say Biden wasn't wrong on Bork?

you didn’t, and still haven’t, said anything about biden’s hypocrisy. he previously said ( when a republican was potus) that scotus appointments should not be made in an election year. he said it so famously, they called it the biden rule. he then flip flopped 180 degrees in 2016.

for the second time, how is biden’s hypocrisy different than Grahams? you’re obviously ok with biden’s hypocrisy, since you didn’t call it out and you’re voting for him to be potus.

Really? Can you show me where I was in the 80's on S-B.com to comment on the Bork ruling? You are falling in the trap here that if someone doesn't call something out you think they agree with it.

Its not different, and don't blame this all on the left here, we all watched the Garland nomination process Jim.

i’m asking you about biden flip flopping in making scotus appointments in an election year, and you keep going to Bork. i’m not sure why.

ok, we both seem to agree that biden and graham were both blatant hypocrites.

i never said it's only the democrats, you saw me explicitly state that graham was a hypocrite. but historically, it’s been the democrats who fight dirty with scotus. that happens to be true, whether you like it or not, until 2016, when the gop had the opportunity to fight back.

So besides Bork, and then Garland. When else did the left 'fight dirty' before Kavanaugh (since you said until 2016 when they could fight back)
