No POTUS is going to be elected on 11/3. Your thinking is flawed.
THAT is exactly why the Country needs a Constitutionalist Justice jammed through before then.
Sue, do the right thing. Especially if you are going to lose anyway.
The statement by Sen. Susan Collins is not a “no” vote against the nominee as the headline implies.
Collins confirms that Trump has the power to make a nomination and doesn’t object to the Judiciary Committee beginning work on the nominee.
Collins has some wiggle room in the second paragraph when she says she doesn’t believe the Senate “should vote on the nominee prior to the election” and that the decision “should be made by the President who is elected on November 3rd”.
Remember that Susan Collins took a lot of crap for her vote for Justice Kavanuagh earlier. She is in the midst of a big re-election battle in Maine, and her statement gives her some wiggle room depending on how many votes McConnell can muster for whoever Trump nominates.
If McConnell holds a vote she will have to do something, even if it's abstaining.
WHERE in the CONSTITUTION does this appear?
WHERE? SHOW ME! I can’t wait to be rid of you! A REAL Democrat would be better than this PRETEND Republican TRAITOR!
Don’t let the door hit ya where the Lord split ya.
FUSC
in other words, she has no respect for the voters who picked trump in 2016. and gave the senate majority to Republicans.
why not say nobody gets to fill a court position , you leave all the vacancies until the next election.
it might help her if she votes no but we confirm a judge anyway, if we dont, she will be destroyed by hyped up democrats wanting to stop trump.
Gee, I was taught that a Presidential term lasts for four years, but apparently I was taught wrong and it is only three years and nine months, minus some indefinite number of weeks or months that liberals deem necessary to ensure that no presidential authority is exercised “too close to an election.”
