The worst thing you can do is start acting foolish toward a couple of life long EXTREMELY powerful senators like McConnell and Graham. They are too arrogant to care about peons protesting, as a matter of fact it makes them buckle down even more when the unwashed try to push them around.
agreed...get it DONE!
It’s not Ruth’s seat...It’s Whizzer White’s seat.
McConnell’s been real good to the point I don’t get why he catches so much flak on this website.
The turtle is not loved on FR. But he is exactly the right man for this job. He is the smoothest political operator to run the Senate since Lyndon Johnson back in the 1950s. Most people go to sleep counting sheep. Mitch nods off counting votes and reciting arcane rules of parliamentary procedure. He is not a miracle worker. But if something is actually doable in the Senate, and he is on your side, he will get it done. He knows the levers of power and whose back needs scratching and who he needs to lean on.
So what did ol' Chucky here say in 2016 about Obama and Garland?

There is no digging
It would be down right foolish not to fill the vacant seat IMO.
The gloves came off a long time ago. Three years of BS allegations, corrupt investigations and impeachment... and we have Pelosi now saying she’d impeach again to delay Senate process...
And if roles were reversed would the Left delay? Hell no.
President Trump’s choice should be processed and voted on right away.
Schumer has him handcuffed a bit since Schumer invoked the “two hour rule”. Will make committee meetings hard to do, as well as other business.
