I like it!

Good response. Lets here from the others tonight and see what Mitch then says.

[nickcarraway]

I think Cruz would be more clever than to show his cards up front.

[House Atreides]

Amen, Brother!

[corlorde]

Yep, the Senate is the key to this, they need to stand tall on this one...I’m praying for as much anyway...

[House Atreides]

...or Amen Sister!

[beaversmom]

Time for some ball growing! But I think some of these folks are in active cahoots with the left.

[Lurkinanloomin]

A genuine opposition party would do just that.
Block any nomination and let the next President choose Saclia’s replacement.

We don’t have one of those.

We have McCain, Graham, McConnell, Hatch, Cornyn, Collins, Kirk, Flake, Burr, Portman, Coats, Ayotte, etc.

[BenLurkin]

Liberals despised Scalia.

Americans loved him.

[PGalt]

HOORAY Cruz

Condolences to family and friends of Antonin Scalia. R.I.P., sir.

love

[backwoods-engineer]

Never happen. I’m sure Mitch McConnell has already told Obama that he will now give him whatever and whoever he wants as a replacement for Scalia. The more Progressive and kookier, the better. Maybe Obama will choose Sheila Jackson Lee.

[ifinnegan]

Trump’s pussy cat McConnell won’t do this.

Why would the people of Kentucky want a rookie Senator - they have Sen. Mitch @McConnellPress who may be next Speaker & bring $’s to KY?

So when you talk about temperament, Ted has got a rough temperament, I don’t know. You know, you can’t call people liars on the Senate floor, when they’re your leader.

[af_vet_1981]

... pledged to honor his name by ...

returning to the Senate and do his duty ?

[TerrisFriend]

Senator Cruz and Senator Mike Lee are on the Judiciary Committee. They will need our support to STOP any Obama appointment from coming to the Senate floor. Our children’s futures depend on their success. WE MUST DO THIS!!!

[Old Yeller]

Exactly. The damn republican congress better do something right for the first time.

[Red Steel]

Just reported on Fox News:

Senate Majority Leader McConnell said he won’t put through a Supreme Court nomination to replace Scalia until next year.

[The Iceman Cometh]

If possible, this would be worth filibustering until you drop dead on the Senate floor.

[Islander7]

Statement from McConnell

[skeeter]

Damn right.

And tell me my tinfoil hat is on too tight but after the SCOTUS order re: the EPA last week I hope the Scalia family will be hiring an independent professional to perform the autopsy.

Because I believe the current gang in DC is THIS close to removing obstacles in their path with such less conventional & legal means.

[PROCON]

Not THAT’S Republican leadership!
