Joe Biden personally appealed to the handful of Republican senators who control the fate of Donald Trump’s upcoming nominee to the Supreme Court and framed the firestorm over the vacancy as a referendum on Obamacare, union rights, and Dreamers.
In his first extended remarks following the death Friday of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Biden accused Republicans who would "jam this nomination through" of hypocrisy, while seeking to reason with other GOP senators.
“Please follow your conscience,” Biden said from the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. “Don't vote to confirm anyone nominated under the circumstances President Trump and Senator McConnell have created. Don't go there. Uphold your constitutional duty, your conscience, let the people speak. Cool the flames that have been engulfing our country. We can't ignore the cherished system of checks and balances.”
