But - Lincoln's year notwithstanding - most times Senate and WH are of same party a nomination goes through - and most times it is NOT same party controlling it DOES NOT. 29 cases overall, I believe.
Unsurprisingly, you believe wrong.
In fact, when the President is a Republican and the Senate is controlled by Democrats, the nominee has gone through, unless there were serious issues with that nominee (ie. Bork) and even sometimes when there were (ie. Thomas)
The 29 number has to do with how many times a SCOTUS vacancy occurred during an election year. And its wrong.
I was limiting it to election years. Other cases aren't included in what I posted. You may be right. 29 may be incorrect. Check Ted Cruz's latest appearance on The View for that number.

Or, for that matter, BL.Obviously NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has been pouring over the sad TV ratings for its Championship series:
We’re completely committed to standing for social justice and racial equality and that’s been the case going back decades. It’s part of the DNA of this league. How it gets manifested is something we’re gonna have to sit down with the players and discuss for next season. I would say, in terms of the messages you see on the court and our jerseys, this was an extraordinary moment in time when we began these discussions with the players and what we all lived through this summer. My sense is there’ll be somewhat a return to normalcy, that those messages will largely be left to be delivered off the floor.
And I understand those people who are saying ‘I’m on your side, but I want to watch a basketball game.’
Which puts him ahead of you and Kid, since neither of you are on the same side as Silver.
I dont care about the NBA ratings or the messaging
Or BLM, we know.
Anti-democracy. No surprise here, either.
I think Trump should do the HOLT town hall which has been offered, by the way
But my guess is an address to the nation is more likely to be on the schedule.
Given his phone call today, he should wait until the steroid is out of his system.
It is true that Dems get the electoral college jump - with CA and NY
Whatever you say this will appear to be Biden ducking a third debate.
Is there a reason Joe doesn't want to debate so close to the election? Or do you think he DOES - and his people won't allow him to?
America has a disturbing large number of ignorant toddlers who have never understood conditional freedom.
Is it a lack of understanding, or is it that they see "Civil Liberties!" as a bludgeon against their political opponents, much like they see the "Constitution!"
Because those very same people have no issues restricting the freedom of others to do what they please when it suits them.
Room for both, I'd say. There are conniving partisans and gullible rubes, both.
"The [Commission on Presidential Debates] and the media cannot hide Joe Biden forever. Americans deserve to hear directly from both presidential candidates on these dates, October 22 and 29," Bill Stepien said in a statement.

They aren't big on civil liberties
It will play fine for his followers. It will play poorly for his opponents.
Meanwhile the undercard tommorrow night in Salt Lake City .....
There are so many ways to make Pence look foolish that the danger for Kamala Harris
is to hit him with too many. She should pick three or four and then hammer him all night.
As for Pence interrupting the moderator or Harris, to please his master, I would think he might
try it once but that Harris will lay into the sad sack so fast Mike will drop his mic 🎤 in fear.
Hopefully the format has been adjusted and improved, but it will still not be a debate and may get
rather boring after the first 45 minutes or so. Worth tuning into just to see how it starts out.
Prediction: Pence doesn't answer a single question with a clear, straightforward, unambiguous reply.
After 4 years of lying to please his master, it would take an act of courage far beyond Pence's
capabilities to muster.
Hate it when I am right.
Note: Susan Page is a lightweight and was not up to the task. The two minute response time with 15 second rebuttal is ridiculous and the moderator's goal of jamming 9 topics into a tight time schedule, which Pence had no intention of following even though he agreed to the format, allows stonewalling and non-answers.
I would rather have a handful of topics actually covered even if that means the time schedule is not strictly followed. And I would definitely allow direct questions from the candidates to the other.
After Pence's dodge on the climate question, Harris should have said "Susan, would you repeat your question, I don't think Mr Pence understood what you asked him!"
