NYT throws 'temper tantrum' over nomination of Neil Gorsuch to 'stolen seat,' gets reminded of the 'Biden Rule'

LOL. Today’s New York Times’ editorial on the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court is titled, “Neil Gorsuch, the Nominee for a Stolen Seat.”

Or maybe we should call it a “temper tantrum” as that more fitting:

The editors seem to think that Hillary Clinton’s popular-vote total should determine who Trump picked:

…Mr. Trump’s failure to choose a more moderate candidate is the latest example of his refusal to acknowledge his historic unpopularity and his nearly three-million-vote loss to Hillary Clinton. A wiser president faced with such circumstances would govern with humility and a respect for the views of all Americans.

Boo hoo.

And can we go back a sec to the whole idea that this was somehow a “stolen seat”? Let us direct the New York Times editors to their own article on how then Sen. Joe Biden argued in 1992 for the exact same thing that Senate Republicans did to President Obama’s SCOTUS nominee, Merrick Garland:

Here’s Biden in his very own words, via the New York Times:

“It would be our pragmatic conclusion that once the political season is underway, and it is, action on a Supreme Court nomination must be put off until after the election campaign is over.

“That is what is fair to the nominee and essential to the process. Otherwise, it seems to me,” he added, “we will be in deep trouble as an institution.”

And there you have it: Not stolen, “Bidened.”
