That’s even more bullshit partisan gamesmanship. The precedent being set is a SCOTUS nominee can only be voted on if The president and senate are controlled by the same party. Total bullshitIf Dems controlled the Senate lame duck Obama would have had his Justice.What Mitch did to Garland was wrong and to rush this pick through doubles down on the wrong, he should be removed from office if that’s what he does. That said Trump has the right to nominate as did Obama. The classy move would be to wait, but Trump isn’t classy. If the Dems were smart they would acknowledge Trumps right to make the pick, cry foul at the hypocrisy of McConnell, but get the process done as quickly as possible because if they drag it out it will re-elect Trump.I actually think it’s going to help Trump not hurt himThere is a secondary reason for ramming this through immediately, and it is a very important reason. Nominating a conservative, and then confirming them prior to election, will drive stake through heart of fascist base, who will collectively give up the evil fight they have waged.... many of them will not even vote.
Especially if the joe biden rioters tick up the batshit crazy like they did during the Kavanaugh hearings.......Conservatives and normal people were outraged by what they did to that man, but the effect of that rage was diminished because 1) he did get confirmed and 2) the election was too far away from the bat shit crazy behavior of the democrats......
Neither case it true here.........the nomination will be close, the joe biden voters will be insane, and the election is right here, not months away.....
Like Trump will have his.
