Just because Lincoln didn't fill a spot once means Trump shouldn't?
I think a lot of it comes from it being Trump.

So the many conservatives that came out during the last election (Clinton v. Trump) and said that a Supreme Court vacancy shouldn't be filled during "election season" that all of the sudden flip-flopped and said "yeah, this one should be filled" mostly just because now they are the ones doing the filling has no impact on you? Or are you just not aware of that subtext?
