Moreover, in an associated statement, Joe Biden (the former vice president) forced that this was the place the Republican Senate took in 2016, when there were around nine months ahead of the election. He added that this is the position the U.S. Senate should take now, as the election day is less than 2 months away, and they are talking about the law and the Supreme Court. That condition shouldn’t be a topic to politics.
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Biden, was stating to the Republican handled Senate’s refusal in 2016 at the time of the earlier presidential election, to suppose President Obama’s nominee to lead the late Justin Antonin Scalia. Furthermore, Mltch McConnell (Senate Majority Leader) mentioned the forthcoming presidential election for not acquiring any validation hearings or votes on Barack Obama’s nominee, D.C. Circuit off Appeals Merrick Garland (Chief Judge).
On Friday night, McConnell urged that Trump’s nominee will get a cote on the floor of the U.S. Senate.

He said that they should do this will entire consideration, and that is his belief and expectation of what will occur.
The former vice president said to news reporters that during Friday flight from Duluth, Minnesota, he heard about Ginsburg’s passing.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg stood for all of us. She was an American hero, a giant of legal doctrine, and a relentless voice in the pursuit of that highest American ideal: Equal Justice Under Law. May her memory be a blessing to all people who cherish our Constitution and its promise.

Joe Biden called her a beloved figure. And he added that she practiced the maximum American ideals as justice, and she stood for all of us.
He also prohibited calls in the past days by President Trump and also from many Democrats to publish a list of potential Supreme Court nominees. Around 4 years ago, when he was running for president, President Trump more politicized the Supreme Court nomination procedure by releasing the list of potential candidates before he was elected.
