Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey, a Republican in a swing state who will be up for reelection in 2022, said in a statement Tuesday that he supports Senate Republicans in moving to fill the Supreme Court vacancy created by the death of late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a trailblazer for women's rights and the face of the liberal bloc of the court.
"Four years ago, I noted that my decision to oppose moving forward with the Supreme Court confirmation process for Judge Merrick Garland was related to the circumstances present at the time," Toomey said. "In 2016, the White House and the Senate, which share equally the constitutional authority for filling a Supreme Court vacancy, were controlled by different parties. ... The circumstances surrounding the current vacancy are, in fact, different. While there is a presidential election this year, the White House and the Senate are currently both controlled by the same party."
He continued: "The Senate’s historical practice has been to fill Supreme Court vacancies in these circumstances. ... I will evaluate President Trump’s nominee to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg based on whether the nominee has the character, intellect, and experience needed to serve on our nation’s highest court. These are the same objective, non-partisan criteria that I have used to evaluate judicial nominees under both President Obama and President Trump."

“Getting Better”
It’s getting better all the time
I used to get mad at my school (No I can’t complain)
The teachers who taught me weren’t cool (No I can’t complain)
You’re holding me down (Oh), turning me round (Oh)
Filling me up with your rules (Foolish rules)
I’ve got to admit it’s getting better (Better)
A little better all the time (It can’t get no worse)
I have to admit it’s getting better (Better)
It’s getting better since you’ve been mine
Me used to be angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word, I finally heard
I’m doing the best that I can
I’ve got to admit it’s getting better (Better)
A little better all the time (It can’t get no worse)
I have to admit it’s getting better (Better)
It’s getting better since you’ve been mine
Getting so much better all the time
It’s getting better all the time
Better, better, better
It’s getting better all the time
Better, better, better
I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved
Man I was mean but I’m changing my scene
And I’m doing the best that I can (Ooh)
I admit it’s getting better (Better)
A little better all the time (It can’t get no worse)
Yes I admit it’s getting better (Better)
It’s getting better since you’ve been mine
Getting so much better all the time
It’s getting better all the time
Better, better, better
It’s getting better all the time
Better, better, better
Getting so much better all the time
Now there’s a 10% chance I will vote for him in 2022.
Well Toomey quit packing my mail box with unrequested mail-in voting forms applications!

The RINO is starting to grow a horn.
I voted straight Republican last time around... except Toomey.
It’s amazing that the man who primaried Arlen Spector for not being conservative enough is a question on voting for a Supreme Court Justice with a Republican President.
Good for Arlen Toomey. But he still needs to be primaried.
Why is this even an issue, one leaves and one is nominated to replace her/him? That’s the way it has always and ever been.
Now just because it’s President Trump, the Liberals demand changing the rules? Seriously!
Even the RINOies RINOs know a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when they see one.
“ It’s amazing that the man who primaried Arlen Spector for not being conservative enough is a question on voting for a Supreme Court Justice with a Republican President.”
I know. What a disappointment he’s become. He started out as Tea Party. He ended up being rather tepid tea.
