Schumer: ‘It Doesn’t Matter What Anybody Said in the Past’ on SCOTUS Nominees (The Daily Caller)

WASHINGTON — New York Sen. Chuck Schumer blew off past statements he and Vice President Joe Biden made about blocking Supreme Court nominees on Monday.

“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,” Biden, then a Delaware senator and Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said in June of 1992. “That is what is fair to the nominee and essential to the process.”
