How did Republicans stop Obama’s appointment and how can we stop theirs?

Asking the important question.
They controlled the Senate.
We can’t.

their argument was a year before election you can’t transition. So now we are just 2 months before election…

You’re assuming they had principles to begin with…

You think they will give a shit about what they said before?

It was well understood at the time that, all nice mouthings aside, their argument really was ‘we control the senate so fuck off’
That will be their argument this time around as well, regardless of what rationale’s they spout at the microphones.

What they said.
It doesn’t matter that the delay was obscene before. It doesn’t matter that votes are being cast now.
All that matters to them is power.
As @CF_Kane, it’s court packing time.

Court packing. Would the Democratic party actually do it?
With Bernie running the party, probably not but maybe.
With Joe Biden, haha, no.

Would Kamala Harris push for it though? You have to hope she’s got a bit of that fire.
RIP, ma’am. You were a champion for those who had no voice. A lion amongst the lambs. You inspired when others conspired. You were the best of us.
It’s maybe important to point out that with a Supreme Court nominee up in the air, this puts the election in a whole new paradigm. Talk about perfect timing to energize the Republican Party.
