2016: Duly elected Obama wanted to replace Scalia. The duly elected Senate chose not to confirm any replacement. Both in their power and both in their right to so do. They both represented their people who voted them in.
2020: Duly elected Trump wants to replace Ginsberg. The duly elected Senate choses to move ahead with a replacement. Both in their power and both in their right to so do. They both represent their people who voted them in.
THAT IS HOW BOTH A REPUBLIC AND A DEMOCRACY ARE SUPPOSED TO WORK.
No apologies, no duplicity:
