You cannot fabricate the level of hypocrisy Democrats wallow in. Here is another prime example.

What they said then:

Biden From ’92: President Should 'Not Name A Nominee Until After The November Election'

Obama versus Obama:

Pres. Obama Contradicts Sen. Obama On Judicial Nominations

“As we all know, there’s been a lot of discussion in the country about how the Senate should approach this confirmation process. There are some who believe that the President, having won the election, should have the complete authority to appoint his nominee, and the Senate should only examine whether or not the Justice is intellectually capable and an all-around good guy. That once you get beyond intellect and personal character, there should be no further question as to whether the judge should be confirmed.”

“I disagree with this view. I believe firmly that the Constitution calls for the Senate to advise and consent. I believe that it calls for meaningful advice and consent that includes an examination of a judge’s philosophy, ideology, and record. And when I examine the philosophy, ideology, and record of Samuel Alito, I’m deeply troubled.”

Not in anyone Control ....

Obama has a Constitutional Duty and Right to offer a pick ... Period and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

So Biden was just engaging in typical Democratic hypocrisy? Was he wrong?

No one is preventing Obama from choosing someone; this is about thje idiotic claims from the Democrats that Congress is Constitutionally bound to give him an up or down vote before he leaves office.


....and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

Congress can CHOOSE to delay hearings and NOT vote on any nominations until AFTER the election.....and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

What did Ted Schumer say?

"We should not confirm any Bush Supreme Court nominee."

And no one is denying Obama that constitutional right. Your strawman has no straw.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

You hate it that your party does the exact same thing and is caught red handed........So be quiet...........Remember when Obama joined the filibuster? Remember that you are not suppose to filibuster SCOTUS candidates? LOL at your hypocrisy.....


BTW is there any better lesson than you reap what you sow?

And the Senate has a constitutional Duty, to provide Advice, which Obama will not seek and Consent or denial.

The Supreme Court has already ruled against Obama, so we know that they get to set their own schedule.

So Obama can do anything he wants with his pick, but unless he picks someone that the Republicans want, he is not going to get another justice on the court.

Having the Court nominee on the table during the election is an Albatross around the neck of the DNC candidate

Nearly all Republicans, Most Independents and even Some Democrats are pro Second amendment, changing the balance on the court to liberal would certainly be the end of the 2nd Amendment as we know it.

This means that the DNC will have a very hard time convincing the people that they are worth the risk, They understand this and that is why they are pitching such a temper tantrum.
