[Magdalen] Hypocrisy?

[Grace Cangialosi]

Roger, I can’t speak for anyone else, but I figured it would be no more than 15 minutes after Ginsburg’s death before a statement was made about the need for a quick replacement.

I would like to think that this really is "fake news" but is all too plausible. In March 2016 this same Leader of the Senate said it was too close to a Presidential Election to proceed with President Obama's nomination following Antonin Scalia's death. Does he really have the gall and bad taste to do this six month's closer to the election? If he does then he certainly does not deserve to be in his present position given Christ's condemnation of hypocrisy? It would be even worse if he did so if he sought Senate confirmation of such a nomination if, as the polls indicate, the Democrats achieve a majority of the popular vote.
