When Biden made his comment, there wasn't an open seat in the Supreme Court. This "Biden Rule" is more political nonsense by the Republicans. Biden, also, stated the nominee should be consider until the election is over. If Hillary wins, the Republicans will rush to approve Garland, and they will still apply the Biden Rule. The election is over. Now, it is time to do our job. They will take a complete 180, and convince themselves that they have done nothing wrong. It is the nature of the beast.
