Selective amnesia regarding Ruth Bader Ginsburg's replacement. [I Got Something To Say]

It seems some people have forgotten how Obama's nomination for the supreme court in 2016 was ignored by the Senate as they considered that the next president should fill the vacsncy and now are calling for a replacement to occur before the election.
Will the hypocrisy ever end?


[quote] On March 16, 2016, President Barack Obama nominated Garland to serve as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court to fill the vacancy created by the death of Antonin Scalia. The Senate refused to hold a hearing or vote on this nomination made during the last year of Obama's presidency, with the Republican majority insisting that the next elected president should fill the vacancy. Senate Republicans' unprecedented refusal to consider the nomination was considered highly controversial. Garland's nomination lasted 293 days and expired on January 3, 2017, at the end of the 114th Congress. The seat Garland was nominated for was eventually filled by Neil Gorsuch, appointed by President Donald Trump [/quote]
