Exactly, regarding lame duck Presidents.

[agere_contra]

Thank you Maxine Waters.

As per your instructions, deranged lefties got in Mitch’s face and ruined his evening.

One day later, Kennedy announces his retirement.

Who decides on the timing of the vote? Mitch McConnell.

Revenge is sweet.

[Mad Dawgg]

Demotard Congress Critters on CSPAN 3 in a tizzy over the SCOTUS decisions and the upcoming nomination. hahaha

[BOBWADE]

They can stall nominee for months. Let’s get ahead of this by recess appointment.

[Eddie01]

That is a great point!

Yes. Thank you Maxine Waters.

Chuck and Nancy, Mitch isn’t listening anymore.

[The Sons of Liberty]

Yes. Thank you Maxine Waters.

Usually the dems are allowed to get away with whatever childish and outlandish behavior and pronouncements they please, but this time they may find out that

"Paybacks are a b*tch!"

[Arm_Bears]

NO meetings. NO hearings. NO working w/GOP. Period.

Fine--Go straight to a confirmation vote by the full Senate. That could be accomplished by next Friday.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe Mitch had a bit of a revelation regarding exactly who our opponents really are. After all, he is Mr. Meek and Mild-Mannered...and they attacked him like he was Trump. Maybe Mitch also got a little bit of moral backbone from his wife, Elaine Chou, who was out there in the thick of it - and who probably had a nice “discussion” with him about it afterwards.

Welcome to the club, Mitch - but your membership is on probation. Let’s see if you are REALLY serious, by rubbing the Dem’s face it a pile of steaming dog crap - as they would do with you and the rest of us if the shoe was on the other foot.

Dems want the nominee issue drawn out to serve as a rally point for their voters. A new conservative judge selected before the elections could create pessimism in their ranks, apathy toward voting.

[deadrock]

...commitment to the rule of law necessary to serve on the Supreme Court.

In other words, no democRats.

[elcid1970]

Hmm...is recess appointment possible for SCOTUS nominees?

I sure hope so, because the Flake has already said he’ll vote against any Trump nominee. Collins is squishy, too.

[Grampa Dave]

Okay, Mitch go for another winner for our side like the winner shown below!

[Georgia Girl 2]

Without ,McStain they have 50 votes and Pence as the tie breaker. Look for a quick confirmation of whoever Trump nominates.

The Dems need to find a way to stall this past the elections. What is Kennedy’s hurry – is he dying? Let’s give McConnell a dose of his own medicine. Anybody Trump picks will be a joke and set SCOTUS back to the dark ages if he succeeds. — Carl Carlton (@foxfriend2017) June 27, 2018

Kennedy is 81 years old. For some folks, politics isn't the only thing in their lives. Granted, being a supreme Court justice isn't a very hard job, as most of the work is done by clerks, but one would imagine that 81 is plenty old enough to retire.

"Unhinged" is definitely the right word to describe today's "liberals"

[GoldenPup]

My @SenateGOP colleagues should follow the rule they set in 2016 not to consider a SCOTUS nominee in an election year.

In a presidential election year, dung eater. And the practice is called, “The Biden Rule” as you well know you pissant, gutter dwelling, unamericam moron!

[GoldenPup]

Recess appointments become void when congress reopens.

[luvie]

He had another one last night in Fargo, ND, where the house was packed with 7,000 and probably that many were left outside because the venue was too small.

I smell a Red Wave on the way!

[BOBWADE]

I am not sure about SCOTUS appointments but it would be a wise move to fill it by recess if possible. It could pay off in volumes if allowable.

[GoldenPup]

That asswipe, Flake, could also be a fly in the ointment.

[datricker]

Its like folks on the left believe history started this morning and things will remain static forever. The inability for many people to think long term (several months ahead) is quite staggering.

Most likely there are going to be quite a few openings on the court just look at the age of the current occupants - this isn't rocket surgery
