Joe Biden's "Ginsburg Rule" Trashes Democrats Pounding on Gorsuch

Judge Neil Gorsuch’s confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice began this week, and amid the grilling — and attempts to smear him — came an ad that reminded everyone about the “Ginsburg Rule,” which is yet another thing the left would like people to forget now that it’s not convenient for them.

The Judicial Crisis Network released a video outing the left’s hypocrisy on this rule, which you can watch below:

“Democrats are attacking Judge Neil Gorsuch because he won’t promise to support their political agenda,” the ad started off.

Next, the ad pointed to the 1993 confirmation hearings of now-Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, in which she declined to answer questions from Senators in over 70 instances.

In comes then-Sen. Joe Biden, who offered yet another example of the left’s hypocrisy — in fact, he’s done so twice lately in regard to the Supreme Court, which we’ll get to shortly.

“You not only have a right to choose what you will answer and not answer, but in my view you should not answer a question of what your view will be,” Biden told Ginsburg during the hearings.

When the Democrats were aghast by Republican refusal to hold hearings for then-President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, Judicial Crisis Network put out another ad featuring, you guessed it, Biden.

The video ad was titled: “To confirm or not to confirm: Democrats vs. Joe Biden.” It featured the senator making the GOP’s case.

“Action on a Supreme Court nomination must be put off until after the election campaign is over,” Biden proclaimed in a Senate floor speech. “That is what is fair to the nominee and is central to the process.”

As BizPac Review pointed out: “Of course, that was in 1992 when George H.W. Bush, a Republican, was president and wanted to fill a Supreme Court vacancy and Bush was in a re-election campaign against the future President Bill Clinton.”

Take a look at the reaction on Twitter to all this leftist nonsense:
