But the majority leader, a Republican, of the senate said a Supreme Coirt nomination should not happen in an election year. This is an election year as one third of the senate is up for grabs. Shouldn't the same rules, the same logic apply?That's what this year's elections n could determine. 1/3 of the senate is up for election. Let's let the people speak first. That was McConnell's thinking.Who ever gets the nominee nation, we should hear about it after the elections this autumn. Wasn't that the case in February of 2016? That was eight months before the election and the logic of Mitch McConnell. That logic surely had merit then, right? Why not today as well?
Or is this line of thinking roundly rejected by hypocrites?
I'd have no problem with that if Democrats had a majority in the Senate. They don't.
Don't like it? Go out and win some elections.
The people did speak in 2016.
This Justice will be seated no later than October. Ready for the next session.
The Dems can't stop it.
Gorsuch was a status quo selection. He replaced Scalia.
This next one takes away the swing vote from the court and makes it a solid 5-4.
The GOP keeps the Senate then when Ginsburg kicks the bucket, which will be soon. That will be the game changer that will last for 40 years.
Plus we would need Thomas to hang it up. He's getting up their in age.
It would be 6-3 for 30 years. When the Donald is reelected in 2020, he'll
get to replace Bryer. That'll make it 7-2 for 30 years.
McConnell basically rescinded President Obama's last year in office. Why shouldn't he give the same regard to the senate itself?
And your hubris may come back and bite you square in the middle of your MAGA cap.
