That's the rub of it. If the GOP hadn't pulled their crap with Garland in 2016, I don't think Dems would be happy about this now but would be admitting it's how the system works.
Instead Democrats are enraged that the GOP created a rule from no where and are applying it differently to themselves versus how they applied it to Democrats.

I am sure you were totes outraged in 2016 when they didn't do their duty for 9 months because it benefited them.
As Lindsey Graham said “I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination, and you could use my words against me and you’d be absolutely right. We’re setting a precedent here today."

So if Democrats reclaim the majority in the Senate next year and Biden wins the Presidency, I'm sure you won't scream bloody murder if Democrats expand the Supreme Court to sit two or more liberal justices. After all, it's their duty as the majority of the Senate and nothing says that they have to enact favorable outcomes for Republicans.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time. --Frank Wilhoit
What do you think of these?
Trump lied, 200000 people died... Trump was lying to you when he called like the common flu, so you don’t panic. Instead, this is what you did with that lie...
I was being coy... but, this post is a better Visual aid... You lied spreading misinformation, because you trusted Trump. Months later, 200000 dead, and you still do this.
Trump lied, 200000 Americans died and millions are at risk because even after admitting the lie, you still believe it. The people who believed Trump are still spreading the virus, with wonton disregard for fellow Americans. Cheering as Trump threatens to withhold funding, instead of using it to stop the virus, because Trump hates America.

Now, explain to me, why you still trust Trump? He could have gotten you and your family sick, because you trusted him...

And if the shoe was on the other foot, the Dems would do the same thing in a heart beat. Good post, thanks. They should call Harry Reid and chew his ass out. lol
Meanwhile this happened yesterday near the place where Trump was having a rally here in my state of Ohio.....https://www.foxnews.com/us/2-face-ch...s-near-airport
Two Virginia residents were arrested on Monday after they were found walking on railroad tracks behind an Ohio airport with a backpack containing a gun and ammunition before President Trump was set to conduct a rally nearby, according to authorities.
John Davison, 38, and Vicki Davison, 33, both of Virginia Beach, were both arrested behind Toledo Executive Airport in Lake Township, Ohio, which is a reliever airport for the city’s main Eugene F. Kranz Toledo Express Airport, where the rally was being held about 20 miles away.
FBI and Secret Service agents were involved in the ongoing investigation into the pair, authorities said, according to Bowling Green's The Sentinel-Tribune.
They were each charged with making terrorist threats; carrying a concealed weapon; inducing panic, and criminal trespassing after their arrests that involved the Secret Service because Trump was at the rally nearby, The Sentinel-Tribune reported.

They didn’t... Trump got Obama’s pick... even though there was no precedent for it,
Meanwhile, 4,623 people have died and 145,165 have been infected in your state, because Trump lied to not panic you. Why should people panic, that there were people with guns at Trump rally? Isn’t that normal? How many people will die from Trump’s rally, due to the virus?Meanwhile this happened yesterday near the place where Trump was having a rally here in my state of Ohio....

Exactly. It is the Constitutional right of the President to appoint a nominee to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court and the Senate to take it up. If the Dems want to do the same thing, then win back the Senate. Harry Reid started the shit and McDonnell warned him it could come to bite the Dems in the ass one day. Now is the time.
