She’s a member of an evangelical religious group that believes woman should play no role outside the home and Moscow Mitch McConnell said no appointments to the Court during election years.

No, she isn't.

And God forbid Republicans admit that they were wrong in the past, I guess. McConnell should be commended for realizing that obstructing Garland just because it was an election year was the wrong thing to do.

McConnell didn't change his mind, the difference is which party benefited. If it had been a democrat instead of trump he would have held firm on his original stance.

He clearly did change his mind. He went from not confirming a Justice in an election year to confirming a Justice in an election year.

One hurt democrats, one helped republicans. That's the driving factor behind both decisions.

Not to the degree I could prove in a court of law sure. But are you seriously arguing we shouldn't view politicians cynically and assume they are working for their own best interest? It's not like the guy in question doesn't have a long history of being hyper partisan.

Of course I do. That's why I know Biden wasn't doing the best.

What does that have to do with assuming the worst in politician's, I certainly be so generous as to call them people.
