Democrats vow to vote 'No' on Supreme Court nominee regardless of who Trump picks

Some Democrats said they don’t have to wait for President Trump to pick a Supreme Court nominee — they’re 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 GOP’s treatment of one of President Obama’s nominees in 2016, said they won’t accept any nominee until after the November election.

Great. Let’s cut to the chase. Why have hearings?

I just posted the same thing on another thread. Spare the nominee the verbal abuse that is about to be hurled at them and just go straight for the vote. Good plan.

Casey has been getting elected in Pennsylvania primarily by staying out of the news so elderly voters won’t realize they aren’t actually voting for his father, who died 18 years ago.

If there are 49 no votes already let’s skip hearings and have a vote tomorrow at 9 am.

Exactly, dhs12345. Why have hearings at all?

The dhimmicraps have already said they will oppose, doesn’t matter who it is. So, skip the theater. Skip the faux outrage and the grandstanding for the campaign videos and advertising spots. Skip the whole shameful circus.

Just Vote on the nominee; up or down, and let’s get on with the peoples’ business.

Given their public statements, McConnell should read several into the U.S.Senate’s record, then go straight to the “advise & consent” confirmation vote.

Exactly, he should get these obstructionist statements into the record.

It’s Judge Brett Kavanaugh for President Trump’s SCOTUS Justice nominee.

He should nominate Justice Kennedy to replace himself, just to watch the Dems oppose it.

Funny, but it's not like they'd keep their word.

And if Quisling McConnel had a spine, every one of them would be stripped of ALL committee assignments for refusing to represent the people.

They already had 8 women and 4 men ready to testify about sexual assault - just waiting for the name to put in the blank so they know who to accuse...
