    Not scheduling a confirmation hearing is not a trick. It's actually something many Democrats were advocating in the past.

    Well that's where we disagree then. The republicans are not innocent when it comes to dirty tricks; they are just as bad as democrats in my book.

    I asked another poster in here if he felt that the so-called Biden Rule was wrong. All I got were no direct answers at all. Do you feel the Biden Rule was wrong?

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    Tell me when Republicans did something like this? I don't ever recall the Republicans smearing any Supreme Court nominees from Democratic presidents. They generally say that they don't like the pick, but vote to confirm anyway.

    After the b.s. move by the Republican leadership in the case of Merrick Garland, they have nothing whatsoever to complain about. No rules in a knife fight, Butch.

    Answer my original question first, do you agree with the Biden Rule or disagree with it? It's relevant to my answer to your question.

    He doesn't know exactly how to answer. The Biden Rule is stupid. It is fine when it happens and an incumbent is replaced. Otherwise they should say yes or no.
