@cspan The issue is not what JOE BIDEN thought in 1992. The hypocrisy is if *#GOP* disagreed w/ JB in 1992 but AGREES w/ JB in 2016.

@freespeak3 Seems like there is ample hypocrisy on both sides.

@bnf6384 JB made a statement. That's not hypocrisy. Did #GOP agree w/him in 1992? No. Do they agree w/him in 2016? Yes. That's HYPOCRISY

@freespeak3 @bnf6384 It is hypocrisy if he is saying the GOP needs to confirm an Obama appt now.

@cspan @sistertoldjah Of course he said this. It's b/c Democrats are hypocritical, morally-illiterate garbage.

@SmokeNMirrors71 @cspan @sistertoldjah And Pres Bush nominated one anyway, and so will Obama

@cspan @AriMelber you realize he said this in a late-June, not a mid-February

@GregMitch Yes, and the merits of the issue are separate from whether some participants are inconsistent, but it's politically relevant

@AriMelber disagree, it would be relevant this year if Scalia had died in late-June, timing is everything

@GregMitch @AriMelber - Also, Biden said it when there was no opening on the Court. So, it was arguably more principled.

@Hesiod2k11 @GregMitch @AriMelber principled is when you stick by words even when it hurts. Now Biden says didn't mean it because no opening

@blcartwright @GregMitch @AriMelber - He said, at the time, he would give hearings to a moderate nominee.

@Hesiod2k11 @GregMitch @AriMelber also hypothetical, as he would decide who's a moderate

@blcartwright @GregMitch @AriMelber - Sure, but he didn't categorically rule out hearings sight unseen.

@cspan How Bout That @TheDemocrats?Tough darts when the shoe's on the other foot, huh? Boomerang Effect. Be quiet and take your medicine.
