^^ that was then, this is now, tough shit buttercup 
Amy Barrett wil most likely be tapped. Try accusing her of rape though I imagine the Nazis will think of some bullshit.
As I’ve stated, this will impact the court for years to come and in the unlikely event Gropey and the Nazis take over this will protect the constitution against Nazi law making.
By the way, was Ginsberg’s death attributed to covid?

@GD
I have no doubt on your numbers of appointments of nominees in the past.
But what happened in 2016 sets a precedent under Article I, section 5, clause 2 of the Constitution, I know it's vague, Senators create a precedent when they go along with the Presiding Officer’s rulings. So now the Democrats have a legal argument. To change it back at this point would take a two thirds Senate vote.
The Senate Judiciary Committee leaders also prominent Republicans spoke out in-favor of Senate Majority leader McConnell's unprecedented ruling that no nominee should receive a vote in the final year of a President.
Personally I don't believe the framers ever meant to give one man ( McConnell ) this type of power. There should have been a vote on Merrick Garland.
So now we have a mess created by political cronyism on McConnell's part...

^^ legal argument? Show me where in constitutional law where it says our President can’t nominate and the senate approve.

I get what you are saying, however precedent isn't law and most of all doesn't negate or change constitutional powers afforded to either house. As you pointed out Article 1 Section 1 does provide that each house can set its rules on how it proceeds.
29 times the senate has blocked a candidate when the senate party differed from the party in the whitehouse. Article 2 Section 2 also states the Senate's role to advice and consent. Rejecting a presidents nominee for consideration, still falls under the consent role of the Senate.
Again, no fan of the "election year" excuse, I however see it for what it is, politics and chess maneuvering.
