CBS News caught selectively editing Amy Coney Barrett's comments from 2016 on a SCOTUS vacancy in an election year

CBS News posted this excerpt from an interview Judge Amy Coney Barrett did in February 2016 and attempted to spin it as “cautioning” a president on replacing a Justice in an election year with “someone who could dramatically flip the balance of power on the court.”

She was describing the multiple scenarios throughout history where a SCOTUS vacancy comes up in an election year and she noted that confirmation hearings where a nominee like a Scalia or a Ginsburg gets approved by an overwhelming majority in the Senate are in the past.
