A Mark Kelly win in Ariz. Senate race could spoil McConnell's plans to replace Ginsburg

[Billiejeens]

Too little too late. EnjoyTrumps 3rd S C pick.

If he gets approval, it will be by a razor thin margin.

Murkowski, Collins, Romney and eventually Kelly will defeat it

Collins is beat either way...

Romney and Murkowski will cave just like Graham. If they cost us a seat on the Supreme Court they'll be history faster than you can say banana split. It's a political decision, not an ethical conundrum. They'll do the calculus and come to the politically expedient conclusion. You know it and I know it.

You forget one small item. The Republicans voted in the art of the Filibuster. And the Dems can tie it up for the next few months that way each and every time it comes to the floor. With the Senate, basically, coming to a screeching halt anyway, who would even notice that it's not doing anything. At least some noise would be coming from the Senate floor.

1. The hearings will be before the election.
2. The senate vote will be after the election
3. Trump's pick will be seated no matter how the senate majority turns out, there is no filibuster for confirmations. Thank you Harry Reid.

Do you think McConnell has the votes after the election?

Yes, after the election the Republican senators have no reason to vote against ACB.
Before the election some senators in tight races don't want to rile moderate (hopefully "Law & Order") voters.

Very true

We don’t know what their frame of mind or political loyalties will be after the election.

Mitt Romney would probably still be anti Trump
Murkowsky has already said she doesn’t want to reverse her position in 2016..... let the people decide who fills the seat
Collins will be interesting.....She definitely won’t vote before the election. If she loses she may go either way.

If Kelly wins in Arizona, he can take his seat in November

Generally agree.
1. Any Republican who votes against ACB needs to find another line of work.
2. Romney doesn't have his faux religion to hide behind if he votes against ACB, like his impeachment vote.
3. Murkowski is apparently more pro-choice than pro-life. Thanks for ANWR fools.
4. Collins has nothing to lose voting for ACB after the election.

Bottom-line: After the election there are very few Republicans who would vote against the Republican base.

Murkowski will have to answer to the people of Alaska

The people already primaried her out once.
The rinos and independents elected her anyway

Graham is in a pickle
He is in an unexpectedly tight race and his opponent will endlessly play Graham’s statement from 2016 that he will be accountable if he doesn’t hold the same standard for the next President.

His partisan flip flop may cost him his seat

It's South Carolina, it won't cost him at all.

Yes it is 3 and a half years of endless attacks created by the media and that Schiff Sham politically motivated impeachment
and still, we owe you for Kavanaugh

A Mark Kelly win in Ariz. Senate race could spoil McConnell's plans to replace Ginsburg

If he's victorious Nov. 3, the Democrat, former astronaut and husband of Gabby Giffords might take office in time for the vote.

Voters need to vote so they cannot pet this current non-conservative, far right GOP mess up the country.

Good Grief--get a grip----Trump and McConnell aren't going to wait. The new Supreme Court Judge is likely to be before the election.

Doesn't Mcconnell get to set the rules like TIME LIMITS since he is senate majority leader---------

Elections matter

The country has repeatedly stated that they want Republicans to control The Senate.

Because we had a Republican Senate and a Democrat president. The President at the time made his appointment the Senate at the time rejected his appointment. I wouldn't expect a democrat senate to approval a Republican presidents pick this close to an election but since one party controls both and the people have voted for this
Edit I said appointment when I meant nomination.

President Trump is not expected to make the nomination until Friday or Saturday out of respect for Ginsberg.

The problem with your idea is the the DEMOCRATS took away the filibuster on judicial appointments the last time they controlled the Senate. Remember Harry Reid and the "Nuclear Option"?

Actually not.

The confirmation vote will take place in the Republican majority lame duck Senate, before the new session of Congress starts.

Such is the reprehensible right.

If Kelly wins he will be seated November 30th filling McCain's seat.
So Mitch would need to have the vote before 11/30.

Where do you get that? He is replacing someone appointed to fill the rest of McCain's term which ends in January.

No he won't. The "new" senate doesn't take over until it convenes on the third of January. Up to and including close of business on the second of January, the "old" Senate controls things. It doesn't matter what date state law says the new senator takes office, state law can't overrule federal law.

Romney will approve of his pick because Utah Mormons will demand it. They are a bunch of pro-lifer nazis. All Trump has to do is nominate one, and Romney will be bound.

Moscow Mitch changed the rules in 2016. Now wants to change them again to suit Trump.
This blatant display isn't just hypocrisy, it's sheer corruption.
Moscow Mitch can't come back after that and say bullshit like 2016 had a lame duck POTUS and a GOP Senate.
I'm stunned that stupid idiotic cons go along with this.

What "rules" did McConnell change in 2016 and what rules is he changing now?
