Why all the outrage on the right about the search warrant?
What they seem to be saying is that a former president has every right to steal national security documents and hide them at his home. For the purpose of? Selling them to? Who knows?
Seriously?

Pink Floyd is releasing their first new music in 28 years
with the proceeds going to Ukraine Humanitarian Relief.
The video accompanying this performance is enough to bring one to tears.

So it's not just presidential elections that justify blocking court nominations ala mcconnell. It's midterms too in the manchin doctrine.
Manchin doing mcconnell one better
https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/594196-manchin-would-oppose-on-second-supreme-court-nominee-right-before-midterms?userid=740049Centrist Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) told reporters Monday that he would not support confirming another nominee to the Supreme Court right before the midterm elections and would prefer to wait until the country knows which party will control the Senate in 2023.
Manchin told reporters that if another Supreme Court seat becomes vacant shortly before the Nov. 8 election, he would support holding off a vote on President Bidens nominee to see if Republicans win back control of the Senate.
Im not going to be hypocritical on that. If it comes a week or two weeks before like it did with our last Supreme Court nominee, I think thats a time it should go to the next election, he said.
