Video of Mitch at link.
Every chance he gets, ol’ Mitch is rubbing the USSC pick into the long faces of them low-down Dems.
Nice.
I personally think it was thoughtful of Kennedy to step down just as Democrats figured they had midterm traction w/ the border stuff.
The president nominates and the senate gives consent. If the Republicans have the necessary votes, the nominee is confirmed. If they don’t have enough votes, the nomination can be delayed or stopped completely. However, they probably have the votes. Sorry Dems, but that’s how it works.
Oh, as to the so called hypocrisy of not taking up Obama’s last nominee, that’s all about having the necessary votes, too. There’s no requirement for the senate to act within a given period of time. The Dems didn’t have enough votes—due to the expressed will of American voters at the ballot box—so the Dems couldn’t get their nominee through the process. Again, it’s as simple as that.
Conservatives, you see, tend to believe in the rule of law. We don’t make it up as we go or throw tantrums when we don’t get our way.
“We will vote to confirm”
Not “whether”, but “to” confirm. That’s the spirit.
“Democrat Panic?”
They’re already panicky, hysterical, adolescent and psychotic, just itching to find an excuse to be the violent scu*bags they really are.
IMHO
The Left doesn’t worry about changing the rules of the game, or how the changes they make will play out against them in the future.
That’s because they know they can always change more rules in the future, and if things get bad enough for them they know they can always just kick over the whole game board and the table and trash the whole room.
Nice to see the faces on the Red State Dem Senators up for re-election.
Senate needs to recess and allow a recess appointment by the POTUS. We need to be on a position of not being neutered by a 4-4 SCOTUS bench while the left stalls the process.

"Dem leadership MUST make it clear were going to fight this hard.. NO meetings. NO hearings. NO working w/ GOP. Period."

And all while the cameras are rolling, hehehe.Haven't they come to realize they are their own worst enemies just months before the midterm behaving uncivilly?
This can only help the Republican candidates if they act out stupidly. But they seem to have lost their political sense in the past 18 months. Now it is time to lose some Senate and House seats over their juvenile antics?
Of course, McConnell warned Democrats back in 2013 that they would regret the so-called nuclear option. Then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had started the process in order to change Senate rules and prevent the minority from filibustering nominations.

Youll regret this, and you may regret this a lot sooner than you think, McConnell had said almost prophetically on the Senate floor.
And it seems the times have caught up with them.
The left kicked into high gear on Twitter as McConnells words unfolded Wednesday.
The 3,500 American Countys, 30 States and over 300 electoral votes already voted for President Donald J Trump. Their voice has already been heard for the next two-and-a-half years, probably more
Elections Have Consequences WE WON!!! (@immike22) June 27, 2018
Schumer said, "My @SenateGOP colleagues should follow the rule they set in 2016 not to consider a SCOTUS nominee in an election year."
This was in reference to a PRESIDENTIAL election year, not mid-terms Chuck.
Wrong again.
My God. Do they not have an original thought?
Mitch sure knows how to trigger the lefties.
The ‘rule’ was set by Senate Judiciary Chairman Joe Biden in 1992, not by Republicans in 2016.
They should update the “rule” to include no SC confirmations in any year Democrat’s assassinate a conservative SC justice.
Blue Wave?
The crowd at Trumps Minnesota rally was 60% Democrat and Independent
Remember that massive MAGA Trump rally last week in Duluth Minnesota? That would be the 9,000 strong rally where twice as many were turned away?
We aren’t. Court is not is session in the summer.
He who hesitates is lost.
WINNING!!
