He claims all these arcane technicalities, Biden rule, yada yada yada about the Republicans confirming a nominee ASAP. To his credit, Chuck Todd on MTP (recorded earlier) did confront him fairly well, but Barrasso stuck to his corrupt guns.
Disgusting. Just be honest and say, yea we're doing it and you can't stop us. Stop with the pseudo-legal justifications.

He says its the Biden Rule, if the Senate and President are same party, then theyre allowed to appoint SC Justice during final year of presidential term, but if presidency and Senate are different parties, its not allowed. Theyre full of shit. I hope Democrats increase number of SC Justices to 13 when they win presidency and Senate, and then immediately appoint 4 justices. Thats the only recourse.
