Discuss the actions of Mitch McConnell and his handling of the nomination of Judge Garland. Also, mention the comment made by Joe Biden about the nomination of a moderate judge.
I've replied to you elsewhere, but I will point out here that McConnell also fails to acknowledge that Biden was asking only to wait until November, not until January, to nominate, and only IF the president failed to nominate a moderate. Biden said that the committee would have taken up the nomination of a moderate without delay. Judge Garland is, by all accounts (including Republicans), a moderate and a centrist.
If McConnell were really trying to observe a so-called "Biden rule" -- he wasn't, of course -- but if he were, the senate would have taken up the Garland nomination on November 9.
McConnell will be remembered in history as a man who professed to love the Senate but who, because he loved his party and ideology more, inflicted great harm on the body he professed to love. He will be remembered, rightly, as a hypocrite.
