Lol! I love the desperation of the liberals on this. The sad thing is they could probably find some kook Obama appointee Federal Judge somewhere that would gladly agree wholeheartedly and issue an injunction....

"to schedule the nominees confirmation hearings for this fall,"
No. Next month. The President's choice will already have been confirmed by the Senate once for the seat that he holds now. The posted piece is hysterical.

It was not just a presidential election. It was at the end of an 8 year term where there is no possibility of re election. At the time it was a foregone conclusion that Clinton was going to be elected so it was not holding out for a republican.

Ever since "sure-thing" Hillary lost, the deterioration of the liberal mind has proceeded apace......
accelerating to new depths of putrid decomposition.
Nice.

Laughable. But if dems expect any favors from McConnell maybe they should stop harassing him whenever he goes out for dinner.

“To cut to the chase, even if Trump waited until after the midterms to choose his nominee, it will still be Trump choosing it, not somebody else.”
With all due respect you miss the point. If the Rats pulled this off the SC would be 4-4 until the congress is seated next year. Renegade Judges will block Trump at every turn until then. The 9th circus can set precedent in the meantime.

So under this argument, no Judicial nominees can be confirmed during the second, fourth, sixth or eighth year of any presidency.

Ken Levy is the Holt B. Harrison Professor of Law at Louisiana State University’s Paul M. Hebert Law Center. . Someone at LSU should rescind his legal credentials after the claptrap he wrote in this article. Senate rules and laws are very different.

Schedule by FALL.... what!!!
How about hearings starting August 1st and vote on August 15th?
Dragging the process out is sheer foolishness.

The author needs to READ the Constitution. The process of making LAWS is clearly set out in that document.
Is EVERYONE at “The Hill” so ignorant?

Some opinions are so dumb, they ought be kept private or at the very least not published in a major publication.

Sue, Sue, Sue. The democrats know that any law suit no matter how zany can buy time. If they can bring the case before one of the many Clinton/Obama judges, they can stall long enough to get past the election and somehow win enough seats to jam up supreme court, impeach Trump, deal with Pence, win the house, etc, maybe they can stop the destruction of all the socialist “progress” made over the last half century.

Not a justiciable claim:
Article II section 5 part 2.
Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.
To: MrEdd
Yeah, for the past couple of weeks or so I've been amazed at the number of articles from
The Hill that have been posted here.
I looked at a few, and The Hill is still The Hill.
This one falls in the same category.
It's The Biden Rule.
The Hill is trying to generate smoke for the Commiecrats again.
