'The McConnell rule': Some Dems say the vote for Justice Kennedy's replacement should be delayed

“Senator McConnell set a precedent when he refused to hold a hearing on Merrick Garland, and he should stick to the rule he set,” Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said in a statement. “Under the McConnell rule, the Senate shouldn’t consider any nominee for the Supreme Court until January, and I expect Republicans in the Senate to honor the rule they all agreed to just two short years ago.”

No. The Democrats and Chucky Schumer set the precedent when they denied Bush his right as President to nominate a new justice and then it allowed Obama to do so. That the Republicans paid them back is fair and square.

Bush had 19 months left in Office. Obama was truly a lame duck in his last year.

We all know the Dems never thought they'd get poked in the eye by their own bullshit! PERIOD!

bajhahaaa

but it happened and now they want to wait till midterms hoping they can regain a majority?

You are just about as bad as IB if not worse. The article you posted even states that Bush was not denied a nomination to the Supreme Court.

President Bush never got the opportunity to appoint another Justice after Schumer spoke in 2007, so the matter was rendered moot.
Schumer did not say block him by the way. He did say he needed to prove the nomination would be a worthy candidate.
It's an election year...so no vote. It's a GOP rule

Harry Ried's rule had more to do with how judges are nominated as per the change in vote count.

and waco, you're right, they're getting their shit thrown back at them.
Elections have consequences I've been told.
