Trouble is, both Collins and Murkowski are less-than-ethusiastic about Barrett ... plus she has to be approved by the Judiciary committee, where Republicans have only a 1-vote majority ... plus count on the traitorous Mitt Romney to pull his usual sabotage tricks ...
PLUS Big Media’s non-stop screaming to stop the nomination will have a big intimidating effect on the weak-willed RINOs ...
there’s gonna have to be a lot of back-room arm-twisting to get this to work!!
Mitch’s apparent willingness to move forward may indicate that he has some degree of confidence in the vote. I could be wrong about that, but its hard to see how he would commit to doing it in the absence of having made some prior political arrangements.
No doubt the Left has been setting up a series of prepared attacks on Amy Coney Barrett, for the last few years, that could be deployed quickly.
One of the candidates of the expanded list that was released ten days ago however, might not have that vulnerability.
My fear is that this could get Dems/ Independents who were going to stay home vs. voting will now vote for Biden due to wanting a non conservative Judge on SC.
