Republicans have enough votes to confirm President Donald Trump’s next Supreme Court nominee, Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said late Monday.
“We’ve got the votes to confirm Justice Ginsburg’s replacement before the election,” Graham said during an appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity.”
“We’re going to move forward in the committee, we’re going to report the nomination out of the committee to the floor of the United States Senate so we can vote before the election. That’s 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.
Yes. Finally.
I hope he doesn’t allow the committee to drag things out forever.
