Wow, Mitch must be fulfilling his New Year’s resolution so say one conservative thing a year.
Said it before, but if McConnell and the Senate hang firm and don’t confirm this nominee, I hope we’ll see a little bit less of the “Uniparty” stuff. There is definitely a difference between the two parties on a lot of issues, even if it is not as large as many conservatives would prefer.
I wonder how long before Mitch caves.
“While he didn’t mention them by name, Mr. McConnell referred to Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, both nominated by Mr. Obama, and Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer, tapped by Mr. Clinton.”
How did he refer to them?
Grumpy, Lumpy, Frumpy and Bashful?
Am surprised and hope he sticks to his guns.
And neither are Republican Senate Majority leaders, or House Speakers.
This is a great sign from McConnell as it means that he is confident that Trump will win the election and deny Hillary to nominate someone even more liberal than Garland.
Other than from Obama, Mitch isn’t getting much push back on his decision not to hold hearing on this nominee. I think the the Dems have been muted in their response because they think Hillary will win and nominate someone much more radical left.
Well, GOP nominees to the court since Scalia/Thomas are not conservative.
They are always leftist robots. They are called “moderate” because they mouth the same, commonly accepted leftist cliches as the NY Times and the many bureaucrats and politicians of the leftist establishment. But that does not mean they are critical thinkers or independent minds. They are neither.
Outstanding
A moderate to the Democrats is anyone to the right of Bernie Sanders and to the left Susan Collins.
So says the Senator who voted to confirm:
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Steven Breyer
To his credit he voted against Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.
