Why does nobody point out the hypocrisy of Democrats nominating Garland and now being against the nomination of a Justice in an election year?

Scalia died in February - a full 9 months before the elections. RBG died just 45 days away from elections.

Also it was the same republicans who wanted to wait for the new president to nominate the new justice in 2016. So you should ask them to be consistent with that playbook now.

OP it’s hypocrisy.

like

Because they blocked Obama’s nominee.

February vs September. Election is November. Get it?

8 months vs. 40 days.

More importantly - it’s the precedent that was set by Mitch McConnell who ‘by principle’ blocked garland for 8 months because it should be the people that decide who their Supreme Court is.

Because that's not the hypocrisy.

Didn’t Trump administration ban transgenders from serving in the military? Didn’t he revert the Civil Rights Act that extended to trans? Weren’t republicans against gay marriage? Yeah they don’t hate the gays they just don’t think you deserve the same rights as heterosexuals

OP’s post is such a grand example of cherry-picking based strictly on what side you’re on, not actual objective logic.

Speaking of cherry picking, boys, I don’t know who’s doing that better than Democrats.

If garland got through, dems would have no defense right now. THAT'S the point.

240 days for the Senate to vet, discuss, bring in Garland to testify, and hold a vote . Compare that to doing all that in 40 days. In summary, It is not the same situation in the slightest.

I have a question for my fellow PI paralegals in Texas. TPCIGA requires that we submit all medical bills through the clients insurance before proceeding further. The client in question has Aetna.

Any help or guidance is appreciated.

On June 21, I had an interview with two managers to become an HR Coordinator. Everything went smoothly, and I got good feedback, so I moved on to the management round of interviews. The recruiter initially stated that I would go through two rounds; however, between June 22-June 23, there were really five rounds, and I am still awaiting the scheduling of one more interview, even though it is now July. I'm becoming frustrated at this point. I’m still actively interviewing with other companies.
