I have to say for all my other reservations, McConnell has done a masterful job blocking Garland and keeping the SCOTUS appointment issue alive for Donald Trump which no doubt helped him in the election. He has also been spot on in pushing this nomination ahead of the November elections which puts several vulnerable Democrat Senators in an awful bind.
Contrast that with how stupid the Democrats’ Senate leadership has been. Reid invoked the nuclear option and now has no way of blocking the Republicans from confirming a whole boatload of federal judges including SCOTUS nominations. Chuckles meanwhile went ballistic to try to prevent Gorsuch even though that wasn’t going to change the makeup of the court since he was replacing Scalia and as a result, burned up the chance to paint McConnell as doing anything extreme now when they’re desperate to stop Kavanaugh. In fact, by ordering several vulnerable Senate Democrats to fall on their sword and vote no, he may well end up costing several of them their seats in November.
I agree and think Chuckie doesn’t know up from down about now the way he’s been shooting his mouth off.
