Barrasso of WY lying his ass off about approving SCOTUS justices....

He claims all these arcane technicalities, Biden rule, yada yada yada about the Republicans confirming a nominee ASAP. To his credit, Chuck Todd on MTP (recorded earlier) did confront him fairly well, but Barrasso stuck to his corrupt guns.

Disgusting. Just be honest and say, yea we're doing it and you can't stop us. Stop with the pseudo-legal justifications.

He says it’s the “Biden Rule”, if the Senate and President are same party, then they’re allowed to appoint SC Justice during final year of presidential term, but if presidency and Senate are different parties, it’s not allowed. They’re full of shit. I hope Democrats increase number of SC Justices to 13 when they win presidency and Senate, and then immediately appoint 4 justices. That’s the only recourse.

If he was at home, practicing his trade (orthopedic surgeon) as well as he legislates, there'd be a whole lot of physically twisted people wondering what the hell happened to them.
