Dems in Senate passed a resolution in 1960 against election year Supreme Court appointments

From Gov Track.us:

This vote approved a nonbinding resolution proposed by the Democrats to pressure President Eisenhower to not use the recess appointment power to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court. The full title of the resolution was Expressing the Sense of the Senate That The President Should Not Make Recess Appointments to the Supreme Court, Except to Prevent or End a Breakdown in the Administration of the Court's Business.

Although the vote occurred in an election year, there is no indication that this vote was about election year appointments specifically. Eisenhower had used the special recess appointment power to make previous appointments to the Supreme Court, and Democrats objected to further use of the recess appointment power. No President has used the recess appointment power to appoint a justice of the Supreme Court since then. [read more]

Then you have Joe Biden when he was Senator saying President George H. W. Bush shouldn’t name a supreme court nominee until after the election.

If the Republicans don’t bring up this resolution the Dems sure won’t. They’ll just pretend it never happened. Or they say it was a different time then.
