Vice President Joe Biden “cast the Senate’s refusal to consider Judge Merrick Garland’s nomination to the Supreme Court as a viral dysfunction that would infect other branches of government and threaten the American democracy,” Politico reports.
“Biden used sweeping language in a bid to walk back his own comments from a June 1992 speech he made on the Senate floor, which Senate Republicans have used to justify their refusal to take any action on any Supreme Court nominee by President Barack Obama during an election year.”
Said Biden: “We’re watching a Constitutional crisis in the making born out of dysfunction in Washington. It’s got to stop.”
