Just saying. I'm largely going by gut feeling, which is not really letting me down:
So, total partisan hypocrite. Why am I not surprised in the least?
“I was there in [2016] when the president nominated Merrick Garland. All of them said the same thing. The president can’t nominate someone this close to an election,” said Franken, who previously served on the Senate Judiciary Committee. “Coney Barrett went on CBS TV after Scalia died and made the exact same case, saying that the president can’t nominate someone during an election year. She contrasted it to when Anthony Kennedy was sworn in, in February of ’88. She made the point that that had come from Powell’s resignation. She said well, that’s a conservative judge and the new judge, justice will be conservative. That’s appropriate. But when she said Scalia was an arch-conservative or committed conservative, whatever the word she used and said that Obama appointee would change the balance of the court and that was inappropriate.”
