      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Bill Kristol

      The Senate wasn't in session. He submitted a nomination the day after they returned, & he was confirmed the same day. Also, Ike in mid-October did a recess appointment because, again, the Senate wasn't in session https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/supreme-court-why-no-justice-has-beenconfirmed-in-the-fall-of-a-presidential-election-year/ …https://twitter.com/BillKristol/status/1308508500591607808 …

      I think Lincoln is the only President to have a SC vacancy closer to the election than now. Lincoln was replacing Taney—a crucially important appointment. He made a public, principled decision to wait until after the election to allow the newly elected President the nomination.

      Also, Lincoln had his own intra-party political reasons to dangle the nomination & not announce a choice before the electionhttps://www.lincolncottage.org/lincolns-election-year-supreme-court-nominee/ …

          ... and until recently, nominees were treated as professional colleagues. They were questioned on ideology for the record, not as the opening act to a beat down.

          What’s the precedent for a confirmation just days before an election in which the nominating President is defeated ?

          Vince Retweeted Aaron Rupar

          And what’s the precedence for a nomination confirmed days before the election & the President asserting that the justice would need to adjudicate election fraud cases he will be a party to?https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1308533347245871105 …

          I thought sending chase over to scotus was similar to chief justice taft. Chase was a political thorn that could be mollified. @AstorAaron

          Chase was far and away the most annoying character in “Team of Rivals”
