Collins, Murkowski, and of course Mittens matter much more.

The nominee needs to be a strong second amendment supporter. In my opinion nothing else matters.

This timing is terrible. I don't see how there's time to vet, appoint, hold hearings and confirm in less than 60 days? If the Dems take the Senate would a lame duck majority confirm in December or January? Lots of problems to work through.

Would Biden go on record now as to who he would appoint? Make the election a referendum on SCOTUS? Wow.

I don’t think Mitch can get the votes now. No matter how hard he may try.
Last I heard Mitch did say he would try to pass a Trump SC nominee if one came up this year.

Maybe someone “moderate” could get approved.
That’d be a huge improvement, but maybe we should wait on the hope there’s a more conservative Senate?

I don’t know.

After Merrick Garland, if McConnell derails the TIP coup with another justice, the left will really lose it’s sh!t.

McConnell and Graham are both up for re-election in November.

Graham heads the Judiciary Committee, but is losing Independents in South Carolina who have lost faith in him.

Graham needs something bold and drastic to rehabilitate his image at home, and this COULD be it, if he has the backbone to follow through.

McConnell runs the Senate and has been strong on judges, but he's now running a race at home.

I'd like to believe that these two can get it done, ramming through an appointment in the next 45 days the way that the Democrats would regardless of what the MSM says about it.

How fast will the Democrats gin up the riot machine if President Trump makes a nomination and McConnell and Graham move at light speed to get it done?

If you’re keeping your hopes up for McConnell, get ready for disappointment.

Are you really this effing obtuse?

Mitch has confirmed dozens, if not hundreds of judges for Trump, including 2 SCOTUS judges now.

Any FReeper who has beef with McConnell need to can it. This election is way too important to start pissing and moaning over Republicans.

Yes 46 days before election. Don’t forget a lame duck Senate session voting on it if there is a control shift. McConnell is running for re-election also. I am thinking that any nominee starts with 50 votes. You can bet that Romney, Murkowski, and Collins will oppose. The defection of one Republican will doom any nominee.

Murkowski already said she won’t vote for a new nominee before inauguration and neither will Mittens. Not gonna happen.

Go pound sand.

His history COMPLETELY refutes you.

There will be 30 days of national mourning and the GOP senators are going to be fighting for their lives.

The GOP senators who are in the most danger are from states where baby killing is popular.

This is bad no matter how you slice it.

Yes, I’m very obtuse. McConnell has already stated he won’t confirm any further justices until after the election. Hopefully I am wrong, but he’s let us down before many other times.
