Chuck Schumer, senator for New York, said in response to a question from the Guardian: “We are seeing cracks on the Republican side.
"About five or six members have agreed already to meet with the nominee and I think what happened is they saw how stellar the nominee was and they realised how bad it would be not to ... They're feeling the heat and we believe we’ll see many more cracks over the next two weeks."

Yeah, so does me.
My guess is that they will confirm him just as soon as Trump wins the nomination.
Punishment.

The RINOS up for election are wobbling. They will wobble themselves out of office. Spineless snakes will pay the political price.

The republic is dead. This is just grist for the mill. The only thing up for debate is when the corpse of the republic will begin to stink so bad that the average American will notice.

As for myself, I don't need a third party to tell me what the Constitution says.
They can take all the time they want.

Cracks or no cracks, rule change by Dingy Harry from majority to only leader’s call is still in place. McConnell is the only one with say.

"McConnell is the only one with say" - scariest 7 words in the body politic.

Yep.
But we will see what happens.
What does the GOP do? What is its function?
It enables Democrats.

All the leftist news sites with the same schmeal just trying to keep this alive and in the news cycle.
No hearings. No voting. This seat is for the american people to decide. That’s how it should be. End of story.

I had NO idea. But now I'm not surprised. Jamie Gorelick is the ULTIMATE "Mush" from
A Bronx Tale. She is the REAL LIFE devil in the Rolling Stone's
Sympathy For the Devil.From the Housing Crisis to 9/11, if it comes to f--king America, she's been there, and she's done that.
