Re: Has there ever been a bigger hypocrite than Pocahontas?
There's no such thing as the Biden rule, or there wasn't until the Republicans made one. Biden had a hypothetical conversation about something that never even got enforced or was relevant. It's not a rule until its actually used, which the Republicans did.
Also, almost a full year before the end of your term is hardly a lame duck president. Why can't you just admit that the Republicans engaged in complete obstructionism? It's the truth at the end of the day. Also, what does Obama trying to filibuster someone have to do with anything? You realize that's exactly what the filibuster exists for right?
The Republicans didn't even give Garland a hearing. They just refused to even consider him. That's never happened in the history of the Senate.

Re: Has there ever been a bigger hypocrite than Pocahontas?
SENATOR MITCH MCCONNELL: You don’t fill Supreme Court vacancies in the middle of a presidential election. That’s what Joe Biden said back in 1992. And he’s the chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
CHUCK TODD: So is this the policy? Should that be the policy?
SENATOR MITCH MCCONNELL: We knew exactly —
CHUCK TODD: Should that be the policy going forward? Are you prepared to pass a resolution that says, “In election years, any Supreme Court vacancy,” and have it to be the sense of a Senate resolution that say, “No Supreme Court nominations will be considered in any even-numbered year.” Is that where we’re headed?
SENATOR MITCH MCCONNELL: Chuck, with all due respect, that’s an absurd question. We were right in the middle of a presidential election year. Everybody knew that neither side, had the shoe been on the other foot, would have filled it. But that has nothing to do with what we’re voting on this year. Why don’t we talk about what we’re voting on this week. And that’s this extraordinarily well-qualified nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court.
Correct, but once again, precedent is a huge part of the Senate. This has happened exactly 0 times before.

Re: Has there ever been a bigger hypocrite than Pocahontas?
I love Elizabeth Warren. One of those from God who stands up for the working middle class! Keep fighting workers and annihilate the hypocrite (R)'s, the group/party who posit propaganda and rhetoric. (I generally do not support Trump, but love what he did to the FBI Director who did NOT do his job.)

Re: Has there ever been a bigger hypocrite than Pocahontas?
Elizabeth Warren doesn't give a damn about the hoi poloi in the middle class. I get the perception that those that vote for people that don't think like her are idiotic rednecks and those that do vote for people like her are useful idiots.
