Quote:If the President has a duty to submit a nominee no matter how close to an election (as was allegedly the case with Obama), then Trump did his duty. If Trump should have waited until after the election, so should have Obama.As I understand it it was not during an election YEAR.
If the Senate had a duty to vote, then Reid violated such duty.

2016 was not an election year.
I believe Helios was referring to the year Reid made that comment. It was 2005 - not an election year.

Perhaps, not that 2005 not being an election year is material.
