This election is underway, less than 50 days away. The American people deserve to decide who our next Supreme Court justice will be by the way we vote. That's how you all set it up. If Trump is re-elected, he will get his nominee. If Biden is elected, he will get his nominee. The fact that you are rushing to fill the vacancy not even 24 hours after the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, confirms that you all are not only hypocrites, but you are also absolutely ruthless in your rush to dismantle our democracy.
Take a long look in the mirror and know that you are in the wrong side of history. Senator John Thune
"The American people deserve to have their voices heard on the nomination of the next Supreme Court justice, who could fundamentally alter the direction of the Supreme Court for a generation. Since the next presidential election is underway, the next president should make this lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court."
Senator John Thune, March 2016 Mitch McConnell, February 13, 2016: “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice,” McConnell said in a statement released after Scalia’s death. “Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.”
