The question I have, for them, and the posters here: is it a good idea for a justice to be nominated in an election year, or not. If you could tear up the rules, and start again - if you could give Nancy Pelosi the power to write the precedent, instead of the GOP, what would you like to see her do?

I don't think it's reasonable to limit presidential powers just because it is an election year. It's actually ridiculous IMO.
But it's what the Republicans wanted 4 years ago. And we are not just talking about the same party. It's mostly the same people. They should have to abide by the precedent they set. You can't just make up the rules as you go. That is not how good democracies function.
