The president nominates and the senate gives consent.

Schumer said, "My @SenateGOP colleagues should follow the rule they set in 2016 not to consider a SCOTUS nominee in an election year."

This was in reference to a PRESIDENTIAL election year, not mid-terms Chuck.

Wrong again.

The ‘rule’ was set by Senate Judiciary Chairman Joe Biden in 1992, not by Republicans in 2016.
