Guess I’ve been out of the loop. I thought there was no chance they would “pressure” (as if they need to) the Republican controlled Congress until after the election.

RINOs usually like to stick it to us after they’ve taken our vote and our money.

The current session will be short, and I don't think the scotus nom is on the agenda.
