Sen. Rick Scott in USA Today: Democrats, not Republicans, are hypocrites on filling SCOTUS seat In case you missed it, Senator Rick Scott wrote an op-ed for USA Today highlighting the inconsistencies of Democratic opposition in filling the SCOTUS seat. In the op-ed, Senator Rick Scott wrote, “In the closing paragraph of former President Obama’s 2020 statement, he says unequivocally that “A basic principle of the law — and of everyday fairness — is that we apply rules with consistency, and not based on what’s convenient or advantageous in the moment.” He, no doubt, intended these words to be directed at Republicans, but it’s the Democrats whose arguments are dripping with hypocrisy. They’re changing their tune for partisan purposes and threatening to block a Supreme Court nomination without even knowing who the nominee will be. Elections have consequences. The American people elected President Trump and a Republican Senate knowing full-well that multiple seats on the Supreme Court could be at stake. What we’re doing is exactly what the voters and the constitution prescribed. If Senate Democrats don’t like that, win more elections." Read the full op-ed HERE.
