Ah. I thought it was a normal practice not to nominate Justices at the end of the term, as outlined here by Senator Biden https://youtu.be/cZlzhULrJC0. I guess it should be named Biden option, then.

Biden argued for postponing the nomination until after the election, not after the swearing in of the new president. This is entirely different than McConnell's stance which argued for waiting until after the swearing in of the next president.

Wow, the splitting of hair reached nano-proportions. What is the difference again? Are you saying that if Bush lost, in the period 'after the election' Senate would've let him nominate a candidate he would like? Preposterous.
