Other than from Obama, Mitch isn’t getting much push back on his decision not to hold hearing on this nominee. I think the the Dems have been muted in their response because they think Hillary will win and nominate someone much more radical left.

"Dem nominees to the court are never moderate"

Well, GOP nominees to the court since Scalia/Thomas are not conservative.

Okay, so if Trump doesn’t win the nomination, does McConnell then confirm the nominee?

Yes, If Trump isn’t he nominee I think that McConnell would hold hearings.

I don’t think he will, but it will be interesting to see.

They are always leftist robots. They are called “moderate” because they mouth the same, commonly accepted leftist cliches as the NY Times and the many bureaucrats and politicians of the leftist establishment. But that does not mean they are critical thinkers or independent minds. They are neither.

If Trump wins, he will nominate a justice that will investigate Hillary. Where was the media on this.?

A moderate to the Democrats is anyone to the right of Bernie Sanders and to the left Susan Collins.

Beginning in the mid 1960's I began to notice the US media would not cover some stories. Other stories they slanted the coverage.

Since that time my accuracy rating of the media has been going down hill. At present they are well below 50%

So says the Senator who voted to confirm:

Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Steven Breyer

To his credit he voted against Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.

Justice Alito's record says otherwise.
