Some Democrats said they dont have to wait for President Trump to pick a Supreme Court nominee theyre voting No regardless of who he names.
Sen. Bob Casey became the latest one, saying Monday that the entire process the president has followed was corrupt because he was working from a list he wrote with the help of the conservative Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society.
Mr. Casey, Pennsylvania Democrat, said both of those groups have ties to corporations and he rejected anything that had their input.
Any judge on this list is fruit of a corrupt process straight from the D.C. swamp, he said.
Other Democrats, still salty over the GOPs treatment of one of President Obamas nominees in 2016, said they wont accept any nominee until after the November election.

Great. Let’s cut to the chase. Why have hearings?
He should nominate Justice Kennedy to replace himself, just to watch the Dems oppose it.
Yet another reason to call Democrats Dims!!!!
Can Pence cast the tie breaking vote on a SCOTUS nominee?
Bypass our dysfunctional swamplegslature and let Americans vote on his picks directly, since the democrats operate as though they are an autonomous sub-state culture.
Yes.
McCainishness.
I was going to suggest this tweet by the President:
"Well, Hillary already told me she would accept the nomination, But, since you're going to reject her out of hand, I need to spare her any more rejection, so I'll have to nominate ****** instead!"
The Washington Times just figured this out now? Maybe they never heard of Robert Bork or Clarence Thomas. The Democrats have been voting no to everything for decades now.
Bump!
Bob Casey made this public statement just to get in the news. He knows damn well that President Trump wouldn’t even send a White House janitor to ask Casey for his support with this nomination.
Support Free Republic, Folks!
Then why have hearings?
If there was anything they could actually do, I’d have a bit more respect for all this huffing and puffing, but as the situation stands, they ought to just lie back and think of England.
A brilliant assessment. I would only hope DJ T and the rest of the Republicans have the same attitude, and say so publicly.
If Manchin votes no, he can stop pretending he likes and supports Trump.
I can’t wait until November to vote Bob Casey out, and give his seat to Lou Barletta.
He could appoint Hillary Clinton and the left would still be against it.
