Yes .. it was! as i read history and checking G H W Bush's Federal Judge nominations, he had already named two justices, Souter (ret 2009) and Thomas (sitting). So the Democrats wanted to prevent Bush from placing a 3rd Justice as a first term President in an election year. The next pick when to Clinton who put that hag RBG on the Court. While HW Bushie did not have a vacancy to fill, this would be the pick we got after the Democrats tried to invoke some "new rule of precedent" that Presidents had to defer picks in a Presidential election year till after the election.
which was always the option of the sitting President, not a precedent.
So let's see how this worked out. as it turns out, two more Federal Judges nominated by Georgie H W became supreme court judges ... Sotomayor (Obama) and Alito (Bush 2)

Slick Willy gets two over 8 years (lucky break! yah!) one was that cunt hag RBG (still fucking alive!) and Breyer (sitting)
So H W Bushie gets 2 directly and two indirectly, Slick Willie gets 2, Bushie 2 gets 2 (one a daddy fav) and the Manchurian Candidate gets 2 (H W's federal nominee Sotoamayor, Kagan).
so .. of the presidents under the so-called "Biden Rule" H W Bushie, the president the "rule" was intended to stymie .. ends up with 2 direct and 2 indirect nominees! the most of all!
bahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa
when the Democrats shoot themselves in the foot ... they don't use a gun, they use a Howitzer!
