In 2016, when Obama nominated a known left-wing loon (Merrick Garland – still on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals) they DEMANDED he get a hearing. They all referred to our Constitution – because it suited them at the moment.

The issue has always been the Senate. When it is politically expedient, they act. When it is not, they punt.

The Dems have their shorts (if they wear any) in a twist over this. They can’t get out of their own way. Over the years they have stood on both sides of the issue, like good Democrats. We should all send them a copy of the US Constitution, Article 2, Section 2, Clause 2. There is no mention of any restriction on the President in nominating a replacement AJ.
In fact, it reads “shall”, which is an imperative in legal language. Not a voluntary act.
