According to Lindsey Graham, Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee "We've got the votes to confirm Justice Ginsburg's replacement before the election. That's what's coming."
Of course he would know it, you don’t think he and Mitch talk?
Exactly. He did the vote counting, he has the votes locked down.
pretty much what most of us already thought when McConnell said they would be holding a confirmation vote in the full Senate, but nice to have it explicitly confirmed ...
“Skip the committee hearing freak show.”
not to worry ... graham all set hearing rules that will prevent that from happening ... he was LIVID that Grassley allowed the Dems to turn the Judiciary Committee into a three ring circus ...
“How can you have the votes if you dont even know the nominee.”
because they know President Trump will nominate a solid conservative, that’s how ...
“I wonder who they agreed upon?”
Trump said we would know this Friday or Saturday ...
It’s not that it’s fair or not....it’s that they operate consistantly on a different plain then they’re ‘hired’ to perform or entitled to They ‘take it’ pure and simple.
I guess they had to enbalm her. I think this is against Jewish custom.
Only if you think that is more important than God's commandments.

Not to mention the Democrats ( Nancy Pelosi, Shumer) can concoct a lot of evil in that week to try and stall the nomination of a new Supreme Court Justice.
I have a question, and I hope there are Freepers who have some knowledge of constitutional law. What if the Senate votes, but four senators abstain? For example, if Collins and Murkowski and a couple of other Republican senators decide not to vote, so that the vote ends up being 49 to 47. Would that result in a confirmation, or would it require 51 votes, as in a simple majority out of the total 100 senators?
Thank God!
that’s the perfect picture to post, somehow i forgot about that scene
There is also a bright side to the Gorsuch appointment.

I sure as hell hope but I dont have faith in the Republicans. Give a D a inch and they take a mile. Give a R a mile and they take a inch. If they do get it done I have a bottle of Rebecca Creek to uncork.
Booker? Maybe you mean Gardner?
Well, we know Trump’s sister is a pro-abort which is all the Left really cares about however getting the Left to actually approve a Trump would be an immensely tall order.
Trump is on record saying sis would make a “tremendous” SCOTUS justice but that may just be a tweak.
Watch his Cavanaugh speech again its one for the ages
Does that mean she served on active duty in the U.S. armed forces?
