To be fair, McConnell is the only reason we are even talking about confirming Gorsuch. He refused to cave on giving Garland consideration and kept the SCOTUS opening available for a potential GOP president.

Yes, this is Mitch’s show, and he has for once , done a good job. Lets hope he’s half as accurate on health care and tax reform.

Mitch seems to sit quietly in the weeds ,for years if he has to, just to get payback.Much better to nail the opposition right up front.

Agree that McConnell won’t cave on this. But, it’s not because he has a spine - which he doesn’t. He won’t cave because he’s a excellent tea leaf reader and he knows He would loose his Senate Leadership if he did otherwise. Cornyn is the guy standing behind McConnell propping him up and moving his lips....

Agree Timmy. Too many freepers expend too much energy attacking the wrong party, something cleverly influenced by the real enemies on the left.

This is true. I though for sure Mitch would cave on this. I also think we have to thank the MSM for convincing the rats they were a lock to get Hillary in. Obongo didn’t push that hard for Garland because they they thought they had it in the bag. I still think they were planning on having Obo fill the seat once the witch got in. Imagine the rats ecstasy of replacing Scalia with Obama.

Hear, hear!!

In actual fact there is a satisfactory "half-way” position. The Republicans don’t have to abolish the filibuster for all SCOTUS nominees - only those whose names have been put forward as SCOTUS timber by a presidential candidate prior to winning election.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Chuckie!
