I assume that they were not talking about Jackson.

McConnell blocked the nomination of Merrick Garland for 293 days arguing that there was not enough time before the election.

Then, somehow, they turned around and passed through Amy Coney Barrett in 35 days, instead of following the same precedent of waiting for the election.

The hypocrisy is blatant and disgusting.

The fact that you think this is hypocrisy, and are willing to voice that "opinion" (i.e. regurgitating what some news outlet told you) with such assuredness within this community using such passionate and extreme language is why I find some of the pretentiousness on here to be so bad that I just have to laugh at it.

If you are actually a programmer, figuring you why Garland wasn't a precedent for ACB wouldn't be hard. You just conveniently left out an 'if' statement in your analysis

Garland was nominated in March 2016

Amy was nominated September 2020

Go ahead and inform the class why we didn't have enough time for the appointment in March but did in September.
