Obama in 2016:

"The Constitution says that I nominate candidates for SCOTUS when there's a vacancy… [The Senate's] job is to give this person a hearing, to show the courtesy of meeting with them. They are then free to vote whatever their conscience dictates." pic.twitter.com/6KZ02evd6J

Obama in 2016:

"It is tempting to make this confirmation process simply an extension of our divided politics, but to go down that path would be wrong. It would be a betrayal of our best traditions. And a betrayal of the vision of our founding documents." pic.twitter.com/qa55P1uHNk

Obama in 2016:

"I have fulfilled my Constitutional duty. Now it's time for the Senate to do theirs. Presidents do not stop working in the final year of their term. Neither should a Senator." pic.twitter.com/Je4OAL7BDo

Biden in 2016:

"I would go forward with the confirmation process as chairman. Even a few months before a presidential election… just as the Constitution requires." pic.twitter.com/r0WVdlitOK
