First GOP senator calls for vote on Garland court nomination

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Mark Kirk became the first Republican senator to break with party leaders and call for a vote on President Barack Obama's Supreme Court selection, saying Friday, "It's just man up and cast a vote."
The statement by Kirk, who faces a difficult re-election battle this fall in Democratic-leaning Illinois, came two days after Obama nominated Merrick Garland to fill the vacancy created by the February death of Justice Antonin Scalia. Garland, a Chicago native, is chief judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Kirk's stance directly contradicts the path charted by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., that most GOP senators have followed. McConnell has said for weeks that there will be no Senate Judiciary Committee hearing for any Obama nominee for the vacancy and no confirmation vote by the Senate.

How dare a member of the Republican Party think for himself, and shockingly not do as he was told.. It is something a Republican should never do and an act that is rarely seen by an elected member of the GOP caucus. As sure the daily sunrise he will soon be challenged by a loyal member of the Party of Limbaugh, and funding for his reelection will stop, as the next loyal sheep reaps the benefits from toeing the line of orthodoxy.
Sen and leader McConnell has proven to be The Man; leading his flock in the quest to make Obama a one term president, and framing every act by his flock with the pretense of putting our Country First.
