If that's true then why wasn't Merrick Garland placed into office under Obama? What you mean to say is that if Republicans hold the Senate and presidency they can ram through a candidate even though there are but two months before the e******n. They can do this because they have no principles--saying that no vacancies can be filled in an e******n year when a democrat is a president but changing their position just as soon as there is a Republican president and Republican Senate.

Chill out, Peter. The President can nominate someone to the Supreme Court even in an e******n year. Obama did this, but the Senate decided not to confirm him. One big difference between then and now is Obama was a lame duck President and could not stand for ree******n. We were guaranteed a new President, either Republican or Democrat, in the 2016 e******n. There was no guarantee that Hillary would have chosen Merrick Garland had she been elected. This time we may or may not have a new President with this e******n. Maybe, when the new Congress is sworn in, they should pass legislation to put a moratorium on Supreme Court nominations six months prior to a P**********l e******n.

Aside from the out and out hypocrisy, which we've come to expect from Trump and the Republicans, they have also further politicized the SCOTUS. So, since the Justices are now politicians in their own right, we may as well have them run for e******n and re-e******n also.
Or just get rid of the SCOTUS, since the law is wh**ever the President says it is, or so Trump would have us believe.

I think the fact the refused to even hear him was shameful. I'm not convinced its that smart a move by trump. Could make those that oppose him (politically) even more resolved to see him defeated. I think 9 months was a lame excuse on the part of McConnell. Packing the Court with what he thinks are conservative leaning judges is something he (McConnell) wants to do. It was stupid of Harry Reid to change the threshold from 60 to 50.

Well, it’s been said that e******ns have consequences.
The senate is an elected body and will do what they were elected to do, whether democrats like it or not.

The situation of electing a Supreme Court Justice when both the Senate and Presidency are held by the same party in an e******n year has come up 19 times in our history. In 17 times a Supreme Court justice was nominated and filled the position before another e******n took place. You are lacking historical facts and your theory is dead on arrival much like T*****r Joe and "heels up" Kamala Harris's p**********l bid.

I'm all for reducing the Supreme Court to just one justice. The position would be held by a Constitutionist, anti-murder, pro-American justice which would leave all demorats out.

Harry Reid was one of the worst Senators in American history. Many other demorat senators are not far behind. Harry reduced the # to 51 and changed the outcome of many major decisions. E******ns have consequences and what difference does it make? We should never let a crises go to waste and the Repubs are just following many demorat mantras.
