Adam Jentleson — Deputy Chief of Staff for Senate Minority leader Harry Reid — tweeted Tuesday that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will allow President Obama’s eventual nomination to fill Antonin Scalia’s Supreme Court Seat.

Personally, I wouldn’t even bother trying to come up with some notion of “tradition” or “precedent” in terms of not approving Obama’s pick. I’d come right out and say “You’ve shown no respect for the Constitution or the Supreme Court itself. You have no credibility on the matter, and we have no intention of letting you put someone on the Court who shares your disregard for the Constitution and law.”
I agree with Whistling.
This is scripted.
Get it out there, lay low for a few weeks, then leak the next concessionary statement.
In that way dismantle the firewall brick by brick by brick.
What I want to know is why the hell that stupid McConMan didn’t just keep his piehole shut until Obama NAMED someone. Then let loose on the big lib. Just watch — Obama will name some namby-pamby no one could object to, and then GINSBURG will step down and let him do it again!!!!
Becaus Mitch cares only about himself
It doesn’t matter. Cruz is an elected Republican so he’ll be lumped in with the whole DC crowd.
I am sorry but Bevin is a self-serving, self-important, selfie-obsessed ass. Why would you imagine he would do anything other than what McConnell does? He appointed all of McConnell’s toadies as soon as he became governor of KY.
It will go nowhere. Everyone is being punked by Reid and the RATS!
Is it any wonder why Trump is going to be the next President! A POX on both houses!
We get the Congress we deserve, too.
Uh...NO. He had Bevin on the night of the primary.
It’s a tweet by a staffer for Harry Reid. Good grief people, what do you expect those orcs to do, support the gop effort to deny obama’s will?
Optimist Club!
lol hope you are right.
Tell you what, if you are, and no justice has been appointed by next November, remind me of this conversation and I will send an extra $100 to FR.
Will do!
If McConnell backs down, he needs to be ...............
(Perhaps I need not say more but we won’t be seeing much about him in the future, enough said.)
If he does, millions of marchers to DC will physically pick up and remove his ugly body, and Kentucky can put him in a rest home.
Are you kidding?? Cruz stood up in Congress and called McConnell a liar and you want to tell me McConnell is in the pocket to help Cruz? Find some other subject; this one doesn’t work.
Believe me I can’t wait to write that check.
Cheers!
