Biden: Senate Shouldn't Take Up Supreme Court Vacancy Until After The ElectionThe Democratic presidential nominee said Friday he thought voters should have a say in the makeup of the high court through their choice for president — the position taken by the GOP in 2016. Strange - Dems decried this action earlier, but now agree with McConnell’s position re Merrick Garland? Well, yeah, no duh- that's the standard that Mitch set during Obama's last year.
