No sir, they would not.

It isn't from learning and books that is knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom.

Neither is common sense. Wisdom comes from experience. Common sense is something that we generally agree we all should know.
Common sense: “don’t touch something that is hot”
Wisdom: “Women rarely mean what they say”

Well maybe wisdom is a combination of common sense, knowledge, and lessons learned through life experiences.

The “careful what you wish for,” moment, was the denial of Garland fair consideration. Now the Democrats are seeking to rectify the deed; within the confines of their power.

So you are telling us that Biden's original position on the matter is wrong?

The Democrats are drunk on their newly acquired power and are swinging for the fences while they have it.

Hang on to your hats. It's gonna be a rough one.

2022 is coming the Republicans and any concerned Democrat or independent congressman need to fight all the above by whatever means necessary to hold all this off until after 2022 elections.

“Wrong?” I guess that depends. If you think the treatment of Garland was wrong, then you could think that adding Justices would be wrong too; and vice versa. Point being, if someone is going to be petty, they shouldn’t be complaining when the other side does it too.

You missed his point. He was referencing Senator Biden's feelings about filling a seat in the last year of an opposing party President's term.

C-SPAN on Monday posted a clip of a sprawling 90-minute address then-Senator Biden delivered on June 25, 1992, on the subject of reforming the Supreme Court confirmation process. Biden, in his fourth term and serving as Judiciary Committee chairman, spoke in anticipation of the end of court's term that year -- the traditional season for justices to announce their retirements. And if such a retirement came to pass, he said, President George H. W. Bush should "not name a nominee until after the November election is completed" and, if he did, "the Senate Judiciary Committee should seriously consider not scheduling confirmation hearings on the nomination until after the political campaign season is over."

No. In years past, Joe said that refusal to confirm a justice in an election year is exactly what should happen, which was said in the context of a R president and a D Senate.

Some won't have the wisdom to see it...

I disagree. They see it, they choose to ignore the hypocrisy because it’s their side.

It's like this. Playing by marquis of Queensbury rules while your opponent is street fighting guarantees that you lose. The GOP has finally figured this out and I make no apology for it.

 

[Mangledman]

You obviously misunderstand or something… I didn’t say it was a fair election. But the election is over and it has consequences as we can all see, so go easy because we’re on the same side here. “Daft” is a bit of a strong word for a situation you might misunderstand, isn’t it?

Apologies, but he did not lose. He gave in. Capitulated. We allowed this. We reap consequences as we speak.

gain with Garland.
This is way deeper than just that.

It is what some here voted for.

Not everyone views commies as scum.

Some advocate and vote for them.

It’s just his typical trolling nature. As has been pointed out by many and a PM I received from him many moons ago he’s just stirring the pot. It’s what he does. Push people to making a mistake and then throw the victim card. The key is to just not give a f and ignore his crap

[Rolls eyes in Robert Bork]

Seriously, though. You're going to claim that not holding a hearing for Garland was some kind of novel, precedent-setting Senate action? "Advise and consent" includes not giving consent, which is exactly what happened with Merrick Garland.
