I have been thinking, though, that I think it would be prudent to make the argument that any confirmation should wait until the report from Mueller. I don't think anything is going to come from it, but it would be good to wait.

Yet that precedent, which Joe Biden also advocated for on the senate floor in 1992, was about delaying the nomination until after the Presidential election. And in a way I do agree with that to a point. But I dont think a SCROTUS nomination should be delayed for Congressional races though.

Waiting on Mueller might be prudent though, but that word doesnt exist in the WH.
