Joe Biden: 'Never before in our nation's history has a Supreme Court justice been nominated and installed while a presidential election is already underway. It defies every precedent'

White House chief of staff doubles down on attacks on FBI director and voter fraud investigationWhite House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows Sunday again criticized FBI Director Chris Wray. He said that his “problem” with Wray, who the White House has criticized recently, is that Wray has done so little to investigate voter fraud – and he declined to affirm President Trump’s confidence in the director.

“That’s my problem with Director Wray. They need to investigate it, and make sure that the voting populace — makes sure that their vote counts and no one else’s does,” Wray said Sunday. “Well, I mean, as we look at this, we want to make sure he’s doing his job. There are different degrees of confidence in different Cabinet members. Certainly, he's still there,” Meadows said. “The minute the President loses confidence in any of his Cabinet members — they serve at his pleasure — he will certainly look at replacing them.”Wray during his testimony last week did say the FBI does investigate voter fraud when there are accusations.

Who cares! As long as Repubilician can get her in!

Chris Wallace performed in a substandard, unprofessional, unbalanced manner. He was like a genital ulcer that needed to be surgically removed. Plz... never again.

Never before has anyone stacked the supreme court like your trying to do...why didn't you answer the question yes or no.?and your enrichment of your son is a factand has never been disproven.president Obama started the process of investigating this.GOD BLESS HIS SOUL.STOOD UP4US

Did you expect the republicans to be fair. She doesn’t have enough experience for the Federal Bench and she is too extreme in religious beliefs

Thank goodness that history is changing for the better. Go President Trump

No surprise,Mr Biden.That crook will do anything even the dirtiest thing.

Never before have we had 2 jerks running for President at the same time! Last night clinched it !

Another lie

Biden Lies and cnn is Fake News

Is it illegal or unconstitutional? You really believe that if the Democrats had the same opportunity, they wouldn’t do the same? Hypocrisy!!

Not since 1880 has a Supreme Court nominee been confirmed by the Senate if the White House and Senate were held by opposing parties. Plenty have been when one party held both.

Says who you fake news

There's a video of Joe in 2016 saying the complete opposite. Which is it Joe?

Never say never. There's always a first time!

The republicans have reached a new low. Just when you thought it was impossible, they actually ooze venom

Democrats would do it in a heart beat. This is about the only sign of a back bone the republicans have shown in about 50 years. It’s completely with in the realm of the constitution to do this. Dems wouldve done it during obama except he had a Republican senate, so just stop it

No he trying to throw you out you nit wit

democrats war on women

- VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW HARD WORKING AMERICANS CAN APPLY TO GET $3.5 MILLION DOLLARS WIRED TO THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS.

Tune in to see Pervy Joe get dismantled during the debate.

Nope.....over 20 times Sleepy.

The Midnight Appointments-President John Adams

Nineteen times presidents have sought to fill a Supreme Court vacancy in a presidential election year while their party controlled the Senate. Ten of those nominations came before the election; nine of the ten were successful. Precedent indeed.

.. THAT STILL DOES NOT MAKE IT ILLEGAL. . FACT: TRUMP IS WITHIN HIS AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY TO FILL ALL VACANT SEATS & IT'S 100% CONSTITUTIONAL . DEMOCRATS STILL CAN NOT ACCEPT THAT HILLARY LOST... . IN 2016 DEMOCTRATS WERE SAYING JUST THE OPPOSITE

If you can impeach during an election year then you can appoint a judge also , who wrote that for you

Doesn’t rally matter.. now or after he will win and be re-elected!! Get a hobby

Except those 15 times before RBG. She will be 16.

STOP SPREADING FAKE NEWS AND TELL THE TRUTH FOR ONCE. IT'S THE PRESIDENTS JOB TO FILLTHATSEATNOW

I pray that’s all it will take.

I or

This man should listen to himself.

Well, it's time to do things differently, Joe

Then let’s make it a first!

Lo importante no es que es la primera vez que se hace. Sino si es legal o ilegal. Es increíble como manipulan.obviamente es legal

Bro read the constitution

First time for everything!😁🇺🇸

What happened in 2016...?

What about 2016.....?

After election Trump takes a long vocation he knows where is he going!

The media promised that President Trump’s tax returns would reveal deep ties to Russia. Didn’t happen! Know whose finances would reveal deep ties to Russia? Hunter Biden.

Am from Newcastle in England... can’t wait to see this show down Tuesday night 👊👊. Trump going to have bidens life ..

Realy?

Why should someone fortunate avoid to perform?

Communist News Network

Haha lies

This dude does nothing, but cry and complain!

That’s because never before did a Supreme Court justice die during a presidential election. Duh!

Lie

He is nothing but king of fools

Has it been necessary often?

So what. Just like everything you say, it means nothing. The Constitution says he should do it. Just because Biden doesn’t like it means NOTHING. The problem is that Joe doesn’t really understand the whole idea of the Constitution. This man is a retard in so many ways.

Breaking news concerning Biden corruption!!!😝

It's called your constitution...

There is no precedent because It is rare for a vacancy to come up in an election year. Trump was elected for four years and it is his constitutional duty and right To fill this vacancy.

TRUMP 2020

Its so sad that after 4 years of Trump (“devil on earth to dems”) this the best the whole country could muster was a demented rapist that offers nothing to the people or to save the environment.

Who cares, we need her !

So the story here is how wrong Biden is and how that’s a consistent aspect of his campaign?

Hh

Nothing is wrong. As long as it is within the law, there is always room for new precedents.

Why don’t you report that President Trump is actually doing his job and Joe Biden is just being a politician.

Tell the truth something Trump don’t know nothing about

Once biden is elected she should be demoted back to her orginal title

NO JOE.. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE

CodyIsAGoodBoy

It doesn't matter if election year or not. RBG SAID A PRESIDENT REMAINS PRESIDENT THRU ELECTION TIL END OF TERM 2021. Biden confuses word of precedent and President. It defies every President. That thing. That doc. Jill, come here, Jill. Explain this to me.

Of coarse cnn

Why dont you do your job and ask Biden questions about his son. Ya'll will be heading to Gitmo after this is done. Traitors.

This is as false as it gets yet writes the headline.... what a joke

Booooooo for the wait!!!

Wrong joe

apbenven This is 100% false. 19 times between 1796 and 1968, presidents have sought to fill a Supreme Court vacancy in a presidential-election year while their party controlled the Senate. Ten of those nominations came before the election; nine of the 10 were successful. CNNisFakeNews

Historically, throughout American history, when their party controls the Senate, presidents get to fill Supreme Court vacancies at any time — even in a presidential election year, even in a lame-duck session after the election, even after defeat

History supports Republicans filling the seat. Doing so would not be in any way inconsistent with Senate Republicans’ holding open the seat vacated by Justice Antonin Scalia in 2016. The reason is simple, and was explained by Mitch McConnell at the time.

Great job this President Trump guy great job he's done for this country in 3 years. Can't find anything in value about the previous administration. Trump 2020 🇺🇸

That is complete lie. Trump has chosen an excellent candidate in Amy cCooney bBarrett. Best thing democrat scum cannot do anything about it. Media hate has no influence either. I like winning.

It’s just one more insult on the democratic process.

Well the affordable care act is the most devastating financial burden to ever to hit my family of 5! So fuck off JoeBiden

Except for at least 16 times, but truth dosen't matter

Of course, this failed lawyer got his facts wrong.

I declare both qualified candidates to go and have enough tolerance, and not waste time on petty things like mask, he does not have covid 19

Fact check - false

Poor Joe

I would not be surprised that Somone will give him the answers through a mic

Who gives a flip!? Does the Constitution spell out when a President can and cannot nominate someone to the USSC?! There is no precedent your demented half wit. There is always a first time for everything. Enjoy the new Justice!

As if precedents have to absolutely followed! Nice try Joe! You wouldn’t have a vested interest in this would you?!

Uh...

Dern Joe, You dems have been crying he isn't doing his job, now you dont want him to. Can't have it both ways

Precident is that the President always nominates and the Senate confirms. Trump can nominate all the way up until there is a transfer of power. He is the President until then. Look at what Biden said in the past about this. Democrats said the Pres should nominate, but not now.

Elections have consequences joe

Lies

That's what you say when you're not getting your way.

It's an absolute outrage. If Biden and Dems retake the White House and Senate, Barrett will have to be removed. This cannot be allowed to stand.

Pan out show everyone Biden is not using a prompter to read statement. Thanks

Hillary had it very correct when she labeled the Trumplicans as “deplorables”! It was correct then and even more so now. They represent the worst of humanity anywhere.

That’s a bold face lie. MAGA

She hasn’t been installed yet and Biden lies lies lies again. Here is the truth fact checked by left leaning CBS as well. Make sure to click to see all 3 pages.

Just another way Trump is trying to destroy our democracy and undermine the Constitution.

Have they buried Ginsburg yet?

CNN, why are you NOT airing the White House PRESS CONFERENCE on now?! Oh yeah, CNN is NOT the press but FAKE NEWS. Pressconference News CNNisFakeNews Trump2020

TwitterSafety TwitterSupport Twitter where is your fact check, election integrity on this inaccurate statement?

Amy should have declined out of good conscience! She is supposed to respect the law, right from wrong. It’s all political and Trump is using her and her family.

Always a first time sleepy, creepy Joe

HUH?

Took him a week to figure that out.

Never before in our nations history have we ever had such a horrible person as president.

Trump is a criminal

Found this online....

“My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.'

ITS WRITTEN IN THE CONSTITUTION! The Constitution supersedes everything else!

He’s still the president and has that obligation, guaranteed if this happened if Biden was in office he would do it too

JoeBiden never before in our nation's history has a former Vice President ran for US President without campaigning, reading his speeches from the teleprompter, hiding in the basement. Never. This is the first time.

Get over it. Democrat’s would do the same thing if the roles were reversed

JoeBiden you're old enough to know and have seen precedents being defied and new precedents happen.

That would be because Trump knows he isn’t going to get re-elected, or else it wouldn’t have matter if he waited!

If anyone fact checked Biden: Melville Fuller seated on October 8, 1888, a month before Cleveland replaced Arthur. George Shiras seated on October 10, 1892, a month before Harrison replaced Cleveland. John Hessin Clarke seated on October 9, 1916 - a month before Wilson reelected.

hmmm who are Sam Wilson, bill woods,and John Marshall for the win!!!! Wrong again there creepy joe!

Democrats, Biden doesn’t have to win by landslide. The Constitution just says you have to win.

Now that they know this what are the Democrats willing to do about it. I’m sick of both parties. One party corrupt as fuck, and the other standing idly by watching. Just talking about how wrong it is. We know it’s wrong!

Last I checked republicans got the presidency and majority in the senate. Do they need anything else?

Because of cowards who knows Trump needs to go but scared money over beliefs and they call themselves Christians

TwitterFactCheck

FakeNews

Yep, we’re already voting. senatemajldr is ensuring he will be in the Senate minority on January 1st.

Not true. Facts matter!

Presidential elections now start the day after the election.

He defies every precident, every tradition, every principle I was raised to believe the country stands for. The rest of the world will never trust American leadership again.

Lie !!!!

Says the narrow minded Establishment candidate, who is afraid to rock the boat.

cnn please read this

Fact check:fake news

Well, now there will be a precedent!

So I’ve yet to see Joe really give a reason to vote for him that didn’t involve Orange man bad.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle bla...uh, gray (I don’t want to awaken the woke crowd any more than they already are). You only chose KamalaHarris based on two factors: 1) the fact that she’s a woman, and 2)...uh, the other “thing.”

TRUMP IS DESPERATE. DESPERATE PEOPLE DO DESPERATE THINGS.

Perhaps it's justice being served on a cold platter one that will serve as a constant reminder of the grave consequences opting out and being forced to live in a world of scarce resources to see the lies that have been selling. What have you done in your tenure what will u do nxt

I didn’t realize the election was underway, where’s Biden been?

Ok. Now I know it’s true. Biden has a microphone and is getting fed information.

😂😂😂😂😂

He needs to check history....

FakeNews

It's not illegal so he should shut up probably but I don't know. I just look at God and the constitution and stay professional and don't make things worse like so many out in the world

But it’s ALWAYS been done by the SITTING president

Joe Biden is the type of dude who scratches his butt and then sniffs his finger

It’s law. And you can’t fight the law!

3...on whether or not elections are already underway is nothing else but nit-picking based solely on political interests and goals. A president remains president through the elections. The power and influence of incumbency is recognized and flows from this FACT. Joe is a wimp!!

Fact check: FALSE.

Another Biden lie.

2. History and precedent are on the side of the GOP. Joe needs to go back and look at the 29 times there have been vacancies on the SC in an election year, to see what happened most of the times the same party held the WH and senate majority. Trying to make a distinction based...

Supremely incorrect! It has happened 27 times previously and appointment made 17 times. Do a fact check fake news!

So believe it or not...Laurence Tribe just said on FOX; 'A lot of things that are Constitutional are stupid'! Seriously!! Just shows the level of hypocrisy and moronic logic they Libs are using to suggest that Trump's nomination should not go ahead. Trump has a DUTY!!

What a crybaby

It’s happening though! And completely legal! What else

Never before has an supreme court justice ever died so close to election either !

Does anyone ever fact check CNN🙄

StopAzerbaijaniAggression

Biden the idiot candidate!!!

Put a lid on it, Joe!

Creepy Joe lying again

Never before in nations history has this happened. After the people have already cast there ballots and now he is trying to throw out the affordable care act. I think a lot of people are having issues with this and don’t agree with what is happening.

Only saying that cause he doesnt have enough hope that the American people wont vote him in. Trump is always right, I dont know how he does it.

Is Biden upset because he couldn't sniff the nominee first 🤔🤷‍♀️ Sick pedo.

1. Funny he says this because this is how precedents are set anyway. This said, a president must continue to perform his functions until his last minute in office. If the same party has the senate majority, nothing precludes them from pressing forwards with advice and consent...

Dems would do the.same thing. Shut up.

Life and health of Armenian children, women and the entire population of NK is under threat. StopAzerbaijaniAggression ArtsakhStrong

Sorry. Has happened 22 times before. Wake up Joe and smell the air.

Sour grapes! If shoe on the other foot the lefties would be full steam ahead! You go Trump!

Lies,lies,lies, yeah

👴🏻🤡

Anyone remember when the “news” actually reported the news instead of propaganda

Joe Biden is a liar. March 13, 1912 Taft appoints Pitney to SCOTUS Jan 28, 1916 Wilson appoints Brandeis to SCOTUS July 14, 1916 Wilson appoint Clarke to SCOTUS Jan 4, 1940 Roosevelt appoint Murphy to SCOTUS Nov 30, 1987 Reagan appoints Kennedy to SCOTUS

False. But then, it is CNN.

That's because DJT is worried he will lose and she will help him get reelected

Republicans ARE unethical- I once HAD Republican friends. I question their morals now

Now Artsakh and Armenia are fighting, not only with Azerbaijan, but also with Turkey ... Don't sleep...

The US supreme court should put on hold the admission of a new member few weeks to presidential election....If not for precedence, at least to RESPECT the last will of their departed Colleague.... Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. RIP.

Yeah, you and he are lying

2015, 2016

So, when Dems seize control, let’s pack the courts..fair is fair!

BlockBarrett

That is literally the dumbest argument ever made Election2020 SCOTUSNomination

That is a lie, 29 times a justice has passed during an election year and all 29 times there has been a nomination.

Trump must know he isn’t going to win re-election, why else the for the rush in replacing Ginsburg?

Someone once said that elections have consequences. One side of those elections has the WH and Senate. The other side gets to face the consequences. But relax, Joe. Someday when you meet and sniff her, she will smell nice👍

well CNN are you going to fact check this? of course not. you don't fact check the DIMS

Jesus - that’s 1000% wrong. Who’s writing the crap that Biden spews?

This is a utter LIE = FACT CHECK

y'all know better than that

Fake news. Pushing a scam agenda. That statement is a complete lie

So does calling a lid 7 of the past 14 days and hiding in your basement while supposedly running for POTUS.

What else you got!

If it’s never happened before, there’s no precedent!🤯

Why the hell can’t somebody do something about this. bullshit

Sir this has more to do then the affordable care act ...45 is trying to sabotage the election....wants to remain president...

Wrong 😂

Biden claims he’s a military family. Hunter was discharged for years of using cocaine!!!! he put our whole country and military in danger!!

“Never before” has a Supreme Court justice die 2 months before a presidential election..

1000% WRONG!

Donate me 2000 dollars and your day will be better

Flat out lie, but that is what we get from Lyin' Biden...he is nothing but a poser anyway. As she said, Harris will be POTUS and not Joe....Joe will be POTUS IN NAME ONLY...he and the unelected co-POTUS Valerie Jarrett or worse.

You are really losing it Joe

17days Pope Francis will not meet Mike Pompeo, US Secretary of State, during his visit to the Vatican in the coming days, so as to avoid being perceived as supporting one side in the forthcoming elections in the United States on Nov. 3. Vatican sources confirm the news.

Dragging out the voting period for a presidential election to months on end is also defying precedent.

Current President’s term isn’t up until January.

This is an absolute lie.

How does CNN not choose the fact check this? This is a blatant lie

If it’s never been done before then it can’t defy any precedent. This makes no sense.

People voted the idiot in so he could run the country like his reality show. Not so much fun now seeing the destructive path he has lead the country down and if you think the thought of him getting re-elected will make the country better. Think again!!!

This is incorrect..

You guys really need to put these things into proper laws. Precedent don't mean shit to mobsters and dictators in spe.

Welcome to this powerful live broadcast.

Biden Harris are such an embarrassment

🤣If the Democrats had the power they’d never do anything such thing? Trumps pick at least has had bi-partisan support in the past. She’s a constitutionalist and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Hilarious.

All this guys going to do until the election is whine about Trump , that’s all he’s got !

realDonaldTrump Has more than 80 days left in office. That's more than enough time put in a new Justice!

The Democrats are just upset that they didn’t get their way for once. They’ve had the press on their side during the entire Trump presidency. Our president can barely breathe without getting throttled by a Democrat, a reporter, or a news station. Yet, he has remained strong. 🇺🇸🙏🏻

With realDonaldTrump's appointee in the process...there's no reason for anyone to vote for trump just to protect the balance in SCOTUS! Now we can vote for Joebiden so he can fix COVID, the ECONOMY, and HEALTHCARE with REAL PLANS! trumplies trumpknew TrumpIsNotLikeYou

So who wants to tell Biden we don't live in a Democracy....

I agree with you CNN. One more reason to vote for Trump and mental coherence🦕🦖
