What’s even more upsetting is the republicans held a Supreme Court nominee hostage for a year.

Don't forget that they then went and did the exact thing that they used as an excuse for holding up the Obama nomination - voted in Coney Barret in an election year.

They are truly disgusting, self-serving garbage with no regard for any of the consequences they are bringing down on the public. Essentially, a complete and utter lack of empathy. Which is a trait I tend to find in the people in my life that still vote for Trump/Republicans.

And despite all that, Biden refuses to stack the courts because... Oh no, it might encourage Republicans to "start" playing dirty with the supreme court! 😯
