Obama says: "jump" , McConnell asks: "how high" ?

No way McConnell delays a supreme nomination.

[Vaduz]

With McConnell being one of the good old boy club member I wouldn’t hold much stock in that.

[diverteach]

Not holding my breath

[skeeter]

The GOPe face of principled courage.

Yes, the republic is screwed.

[Cowboy Bob]

Does the constitution require McConnell to do anything?

Does the Senate have to comnsider a nomination by the President?

From what I recall, the constitution does not require that there be 9 justices on the SC.

So, why does McConnnell have to do anything?

I am calling and faxing every senator who is up for election to tell them I will be using all the network capability I have to go against them this summer if they cave.

I hope others are doing the same. It's also easy to find most of them on Facebook.

McConnell could stop all this today by Pushing through legislation in the Senate to reduce the number of Justices to 8, send it the house for a vote.

Then watch the fireworks

GOP senators are beginning to crumble already. obama will get his nominee and court. By this time next year national gun laws will resemble New York’s and will be on the way south. Ammunition and soon to be illegal “assault” weapons are currently as cheap as they have been since pre Sandy Hook. Next year you’ll be in bad enough shape, don’t also be black and blue from kicking yourself.

He had a strong primary challenge in 2014 with the conservative Matt Bevin, thanks Kentucky...

All the OTHER options are worse.

Put a Obama nominee up there in hearings and she/he will be called the victim of GOP witch-trials due to racism, sexism,......just like the others were.

Dems game is obvious.

Hey Mitch. All you have to do is be as tough as Harry Reid. He's a nasty little bastard, but he's not that tough. He's gotten beat up by his exercise equipment twice. You, on the other hand, haven't been beaten up by your exercise equipment even once.

This is probably the most important issue you will address in your life. This is one time you should not "go along to get along".

Remember, you're getting pretty close to the age where life will put you out to pasture. Time to do what is necessary to repair your legacy. Turning full-on Benedict Arnold on your party won't let you retire honorably.

He’ll hold his ground like a one-inch rubber tent stake in a monsoon. Like the Tennessee Titans’ defense. Like.....
