Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner released a statement about his position on the U.S. Supreme Court vacancy left by the late-Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Gardner had avoided answering questions from journalists until Monday evening.
“When a President exercises constitutional authority to nominate a judge for the Supreme Court vacancy, the Senate must decide how to best fulfill its constitutional duty of advice and consent. I have and will continue to support judicial nominees who will protect our Constitution, not legislate from the bench, and uphold the law. Should a qualified nominee who meets this criteria be put forward, I will vote to confirm.”

Linda won’t be able to control Kommiela. I assume she’s on the committee. It would be good to see her go nuts.
Trump winning in November is important... Picking Ginsburg’s replacement who will sit for the next 15 to 20 years on the bench is even more important... If the SCOTUS goes liberal, life as you know it will come to an end in the US and you’ll just become another socialist state similar to Canada or the UK.
The DUmmies are having a complete meltdown over this! :)
Why would he want to?
I WANT her to go crazy. Stark raving mad. On national TV.
Agree with your assessment regarding wobbly Gardner and his recently found backbone. Hope he can carry the day but his all in for Trump came probably too late.
WOO-HOO!!!
I’m hoping for Amy Barrett to be nominated. Ms Lagoa is a distant second, in my opinion.
Hope that doesn’t mean “we” let the pedophile weasel out of the debate next week.
Mitt now irrelevant and can’t be this year’s Jeff Flake
He should explain how it works to Collins. Piss off the GOP base, lose by 20. Support the party, and maybe lose some independents, but maybe gain more, and you also get more Republicans out to the polls on your behalf. Voting like a democrat won’t get you elected.
Burr?
I don’t think Romney is in the Senate to be reelected. He ran to accomplish one task—help his handlers get rid of Donald Trump. If he can be the difference in defeating a justice who would help Trump in election-related litigation, then he will do it. If his vote doesn’t matter, then he will vote to confirm.
EXCELLENT! The Snapping Murder Turtle holds the line at 51.
All Republican Senators will fall in line, or retire.
This is an institutional party vote.
How exactly does that add to the discussion?
I think this could help him. We'll be sure to turn out to vote for him, but I'm detecting no enthusiasm for Hickenlooper.
I'd love to watch the Democrats do a Kavenaugh on a Hispanic woman.
Now all of the Dems 'daily' bombshells on more stuff Trump is supposed to have done/said all by anonymous sources is going to be overshadowed by this.
The Dems have really been caught flat-footed here.
” Deserving of an ambassadorship.”
Or cabinet post, or “special advisor”, or party apparatus position.
Rest assured, he’ll be taken care of with blessings from all.
