What an idiot. He should have kept his stupid mouth shut and then delayed, delayed and delayed.

Now I have every confidence he will give in and Obama’s choice will be confirmed.

“..wow mitch, I guess a broken clock is right now and then.”

The GOPe will throw the election to Hillary, destroy the Republican Party, and THEN the Left can install its anti-Constitution SCOTUS nominees at their leisure.

McConnell: No hearing for Garland

Wow, what the hell? Did someone velcro a testicle to Yertle? Or is he somehow being blackmailed, but by the good guys for a change?
