What is his objection to Olson?”
First, Olson is a decent, honorable and honest conservative.
Second, He’s Bush’s selection. Third, he’s competent.
Three strikes against him.
Seriously, the GOP aide is right - “They could nominate Pat Leahy and Democrats would fight it,” The better the selection Bush makes, the more they will fight.
Remember when Reagan’s best possible USSC nominee, Robert Bork, went to the Senate?
These crazy Democrats are going to have a fight over it because they have hyper-partisan full-blown BDS.
Let them try. I want to see a party line 49-49 vote then watch Nelson flip and we win by one vote.
“Remember when Reagan’s best possible USSC nominee, Robert Bork, went to the Senate?”
Bork was a horrible jackboot nominee who didn’t think the 2nd amendment meant individual right to bear arms.
I don’t trust anyone with authority who doesn’t trust me with guns.
