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.
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
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.
My God. Do they not have an original thought?
Blue Wave?
“The crowd at Trump’s 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?
He who hesitates is lost.
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.
Fine--Go straight to a confirmation vote by the full Senate. That could be accomplished by next Friday.
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.
In other words, no democRats.
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"
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!
Dems are not the problem here.
