It takes 2/3rds of the Senate to confirm.

Get it? That means the national socialists would have to have at least 14? Republicans to vote for their choice.

Obama will wait until after the election and nominate a big lefty commie on Wednesday after tthe election. McConnell will rush it thru on Jan 19th at 4AM, where it will clear by one vote attached to huge package of payouts.

I will send Grassley a phone and a pen - maybe go head-to-head with Barry’s phone and pen.

McConnell might not be serious, but I guarantee Grassley is. No nomination goes forward unless McConnell removes Grassley as Judiciary Committee chair.

“Good for McConnell and Grassley. We have to have their backs on this. The Republic is at stake.”

I will have the GOPe boys backs on this if they hold firm and don’t allow a vote.

Also, if the Republican nominee (Trump?) is smart he can use this his advantage. I am willing to bet at least half the country is scared right now the 0bama will get to stack this court with another 0bamunist.

You think Grassley will hold firm? I hope so!
