Time for John McCain to “go on to his great reward” so we can hopefully get someone other than his wife seated in time for the upcoming vote.

Does anyone remember in the now-fading history of this Republic when politicians acted on behalf of the people, rather than themselves?

I won’t be guilted out of saying “This isn’t my first choice”

People all along the political spectrum, including many here on FR, appear to be losing their minds over the nomination of this guy.

[Starboard]

It is just a very long shot that Democrats and two Republicans could stop this nomination.

Not really. Its far from a done deal.

It’s a very thin margin right now, and Mitch should get this through as quickly as possible, despite the need for the deliberative appearance—e.g., his meeting with the senators individually, committee and other deliberative processes. (If something were to happen to that majority, then the vote would best be delayed until January, when the GOP should have a couple more senators.)

Small quibble. It’s mettle not metal.

Mettle definition courage, fortitude, disposition, temperament.

Both of the pro-choice Republican Senators will vote no. That is why McCain announce he would vote yes.

President Trump threw the “progs” off their game by nominating XY instead of XX for the SCOTUS.

I think "Coach K" stands a pretty good chance of being confirmed unless something really bizarre turns up on him. I saw NPR's Nina Totenberg earlier today basically saying nothing negative about him. In fact overall positive.

I think it would be quite cynical for the PResident to play a person this way unless they were in on it. I doubt anyone would want to be dragged through the process and possible disclosures only to be a decoy.

In the midst of our celebration I would like to express my thanks to Ann Coulter's wake-up call concerning Judge Raymond Kethledge. Her fiery oratory exposed his stealthy views on emigration. We love you Ann!

Things do look promising, but let's remember that old saw about counting one's chickens before they're hatched.

One thing I've learned over the decades is to never underestimate the GOP's propensity to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

I recognize there are a lot of games being played when a President nominates a Supreme Court Justice. So we do not always get an Alito or a Gorsuch.

That being said, I try keep in mind that if Hillary was our current President, we would already have Barrack Obama in the Supreme Court instead of Neil Gorsuch. And today we would be moaning that Eric Holder was nominated last night to replace Anthony Kennedy.

Hopefully, Ruth Bader Ginsburg will soon realize she has become far too old to put up with the rigors of being a Supreme Court Justice and checks into an Assisted Living Facility.

The Leftists must really be at their wits these days when they think about what the near-future Supreme Court will look like.
