Yep. It has to be done NOW.
The question is, does Mitch have the votes to confirm a nominee????
The GOP is in control by 53 to 47, but Murkowski of Alaska has said she won’t vote on a nominee before the election. So that brings us down to 52. Any other defectors, holding to some principles that we should wait till after the election to deal with this? Collins, McSally, Joni Ernst, Thom Tillis, Mitt Romney?
I hope McConnell wouldn’t have made such a statement if he doesn’t have the committments from enough Republicans to make it happen. Very soon, he will have to put up or shut up.
