Grassley may send it out of his committee quickly too. They are already caving, but no one is surprised at the poor choice of the uninformed Republican primary voters from coast to coast and all points in between too.

I just sent Tillis this message:

“You continue to embarrass the people who voted for you.”

An ideological replacement for Scalia is "unlikely to happen,"

Such a replacement is GUARANTEED not to happen under this jerk of a president. So why take the chance? "Consider" his nominee; just make sure it takes until after November for you to reach any conclusion.

Senator Tillis’ Choices:
1) Act against the desires of those who elected you, destroying any chance of US survival as a semi-free country. The Leftist media will not hate you any less, will continue doing everything they can to get you out of office anyway, and will give you no positive press even if you vote to confirm the worst Progressive on Earth. But those who did vote for you will hate you for betraying them.
2) Act as those who put you in office want (that would be an electoral majority or you wouldn’t be Senator). But suffer the equivalent of a strongly worded memo from the Leftist media and groups that already hate you.

Apparently he thinks #1 is the way to go. Stupid and spineless is a bad combination. Is he paid off?

It’s beyond that. He’s pwned. He’s a puppet of the uniparty. It’s like they’re zombies. As soon as one mentions bipartisanship, you know they’ve gone to the dark side. Uniparty. Bipartisan. All the same thing. A pack of lies and liars.

NICE! Just in time to go to the polls to vote out his partner-in-crime, Burr (Rino). The one who will vote for Sanders if Trump takes to nomination. Go Greg Brannon ! ‘Eric Cantor’ Richard Burr...

This is the one chance for Republican legislators to
act for the Country rather than self! Delay, delay, delay:
The next President must choose a Supreme Court Justice
with the same originalist attitude that Scalia had or this country is toast!

Does tillis’ head have a point on it? What a compromised moron.

Clearly Tillis is another one that Obama has blackmailed. All but about 3 are blackmailed into submission.

If they fold, and allow another liberal justice on the court, they will prove that they are nothing more than Democrat lite

That's proven to my satisfaction.

But it's wrong, IMO, to call them "Democrat lite".

There's just one party. The "Democrat" - "Republican" thing is an illusion.

“”that lawmakers should consider any nominee the president sends forth and approve or reject based on his or her merits.””

DUH! Not too swift for a senator, is he? Or just right for a senator? Has anyone even suggested that anyone whose name is sent up is automatically going to disappear into the trash can? Of course, consideration would be given and then the “boom would be lowered.” Who knows what will come out when nominees have their backgrounds investigated? It will be fun to watch. Remember in Clinton’s time just the mere mention of some names for nomination sent them scurrying for someone else...
