Joe Biden in 2016: "I would go forward with a confirmation process as chairman, *even a few months before a presidential election,* if the nominee were chosen with the advice, and not merely the consent, of the Senate, just as the Constitution requires.pic.twitter.com/eAdrDigc8S

If I see one more person post the meme showing that McConnell refused to confirm Garland in 2016 as a “confirmation” that we HAVE TO WAIT now, I’m going to lose it. Not the same scenario at all. Let me educate you. THREAD (1/7)

Just dug up this clip of Obama in 2016:
"When there is a vacancy on the SCOTUS, the President is to nominate someone, the Senate is to consider that nomination… There's no unwritten law that says that it can only be done on off-years. That's not in the Constitution text." pic.twitter.com/vrOi3DrkJN

Never ever forget what they did to Kavanaugh
There can be no mercy
This is a land of wolves now

In 2016, Hillary Clinton said on the passing of Justice Scalia
“The Senate has a constitutional responsibility here that it cannot abdicate for partisan political reasons.”
I agree with Hillary Clinton. We must #FillTheSeat

The overwhelming narrative on much of cable news points to Graham's statement and McConnell's actions in 2016. That's irrelevant now. After Kavanaugh and impeachment, all bets are off between the two parties. GOP moves ahead because they know it's exactly what Democrats would do. https://t.co/wgM8PuhxEy
