Since Repubs are no longer under a consent decree, I’m guessing they have the right to ride along.

(I was in my office and felt like dancing on that day)
Wow more October surprises and it isnt even October yet!
Good morning! Slept well last night after drinking my chocolate milk. MizTick is all curled up next to me. I think she smells the bacon. Were heading to Pauls appointment and picking up a few goodies afterward.
Wow, Lysie. Just catching up and see you have not slept! Good morning.
Republicans have enough votes to confirm President Donald Trumps next Supreme Court nominee, Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said late Monday.
Weve got the votes to confirm Justice Ginsburgs replacement before the election, Graham said during an appearance on Fox News Hannity.
Were going to move forward in the committee, were going to report the nomination out of the committee to the floor of the United States Senate so we can vote before the election. Thats the constitutional process, he added.
Hmm Have you noticed how many of the R senators have announced they WILL be supporting the nominee even before she is announced? Finally some backbone evident!
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is digging in ahead of an explosive fight over the Supreme Court seat left vacant after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
McConnell, during his first remarks from the Senate floor since Ginsburg’s death on Friday, argued there was “more than enough time” to confirm President Trump’s forthcoming nominee before the end of the year and rebuffed charges of hypocrisy from Democrats after Republicans refused to move former President Obama’s nominee in 2016.
“The historical precedent is overwhelming, and it runs in one direction. If our Democratic colleagues want to claim they are outraged, they can only be outraged at the plain facts of American history,” McConnell said.
Hmm more leadership springing from the bowels of the Senate. So refreshing!
Are we having fun yet, Ma? I think I do feel like dancing! PDJT May go down in history for the most SC justices placed by any president. Could have 2 or 3 more next term (Roberts, cough, cough). We need a huge plaque for all of his accomplishments.
Good morning, Vlad. Yeah , but I kept it warm and the fruit cool. :-)
Good morning, ma. Glad you slept well.
Good morning, I_be_tc. I was able to get back to sleep.
Yes. Finally.
How about we name a holiday after him? The Monday after the Super Bowl. Super Trumper Monday.
I like that.

Hmm I could live with Michigan. It would assure us the state vote and might even help in areas with Big 10 schools. Do we see a pattern here?

President Donald Trump said on Fox and Friends on Monday he was considering a judge from Michigan to replace U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died last week.
Trump called Ginsburg a legend, despite her having a different political perspective than him.
Her death creates an opening on the Supreme Court, which Trump said he intends to announce a nominee for on Friday or Saturday after memorial services for Ginsburg are completed.
The candidates, he said, include a great one from Michigan.
Hes down to a short list of candidates, he said.
Its down to five and it could be any one of them, theyre really great, he said.
Hes narrowed the list down to women and said he was looking at younger candidates who would be on the court for a long time. Supreme Court appointments are lifetime appointments.
U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Joan Larsen made Trumps list for a previous opening on the court. He said Monday the people he was considering had made previous lists and already been vetted, saying pretty much theyve all gone through the process very recently.
Democrats have criticized Trump and Senate Republicans for pursuing a nomination during an election year when they declined to do so for a previous opening under former President Barack Obama in 2016, as his term was ending.
Trump said on Fox and Friends the current situation is different.
Theres a difference. When you have the Senate, when you have the votes, you can sort of do what you want as long as you have it, Trump said.
YES!!!
