There is no Biden either actually.

Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday tried to clear his name and tout his record on Supreme Court nominations, calling Republican branding of his past remarks on the subject “ridiculous” and casting himself as a longtime advocate of bipartisan compromise in filling seats on the high court.
In a speech at Georgetown Law School, Biden issued a broad warning that Republicans’ election-year blockade of President Barack Obama’s nominee “can lead to a genuine Constitutional crisis” and sought to distance himself from the strategy. He argued Republicans have distorted a 1992 speech in which he seemed to endorse the notion of blocking any Supreme Court nominee put forward in the throes of the election season.
Republicans have labeled their strategy the “Biden rule.” They are using the 1992 Biden speech in an attempt to cast their no-hearing, no-vote campaign as part of a Senate tradition — their defense to Democrats’ charges that they're shirking their Constitutional duty. …

Come on Rimshot! We know you’ve heard of the “historical” Biden rule.
As if Obama's illegal use of his office might not be a Constitutional crisis in and of itself.
“Don’t Read My Lips...”?
Biden true to form Once a Liar always a Liar. I am so sick of this prick (sorry about the language) and the rest of the dead beat congress and the ruthless resident.
Biden is not lying in his teeth, because he’s got dentures now...
There is no Biden either actually.
Nothing but an Assclown!! He is just one of the many goosestepping leftist asswipes!
When wisconsin state senators fled the state and shirked their duties, the left celebrated and siad,it was the right thing to do.
Saying no hearings is the only power congress has left and seems willing to use on a rogue executive, for now.
Be prepared for language police to come after you.
Slow Joe: “Let’s be bi-partisan.”
Instead of "Squirrel!", Joe yelped "Girrel!", and evading his Secret Service "handlers", barreled off barking excitedly after the hapless young woman...

Poor biden; he wasn’t ever invited by his fellow democrats to go on trips with them to Jeffrey Epstein’s Pedophile Island.
Biden: ‘There is no Biden rule’ on Supreme Court nominations”
What does that mean? Supreme Court nominees, their wives and daughters don’t have to be groped by the VP in front of the nation on camera?
The typical lying, delusional, pathetic DemocRAT.
The republicans should ask themselves, what would the democrats do in our position? And then do it. (We all know what that would be)
"girrel! GIRREL!!!"
We got you on tape, Joe. Pretty hard to squirm on that.
There is no Biden Rule that governs the Senate in today's circumstance.
The Biden Rule states that no Supreme Court nominations may be acted upon during the last year of a Republican administration. Exactly the opposite rule applies during the last year of a Democrat administration. During the last year of a Democrat administration, all Supreme Court nominations must receive expedited handling.
This is pretty obvious. I don't know why people have a hard time understanding such a simple rule.
