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

Reid ending the filibuster in 2013 when the Dems were going to lose the Senate in 2014 makes Amy Barrett the "Harry Reid Nomination". McConnell warned Dems prior to the vote that they would live to regret it, and maybe sooner than they think. They ran unheeded to their current position, and Cocaine Mitch plays for keeps.

We would have been a lot better off if McConnell hadn’t massively abused filibusters in the judicial nomination process.

Actually it was Reid that blew up the Judicial Filibuster and McConnell warned them, before they did it, that would not like the consequences, which might be far sooner than they expected, and Cocaine Mitch was right. Dems lost the majority in a matter of months after blowing up the Judicial Filibuster.... ooops!

You can fairly call Amy the HARRY Reid SCOTUS

Are you forgetting to consider the circumstances in which Reid blew up the filibuster?

McConnell was massively abusing the filibuster.

You are conceding the point, with an explanation, thank you.

I’m well aware of what Reid did in 2013.

You seem to want to avoid what McConnell did.

McConnell's confirming judicial nominees. Very seldom of opposing party nominations confirmed in election years, the last one was 1888. Except for Abe Fortas, the NEVER does the Senate fail to confirm an election year nomination by their own party.

John Marshall was the most consequential Supreme Court nomination in American History, and he was nominated by Adams and confirmed AFTER Adams and the Federal Senate had lost the election.

So, what you are demanding from McConnell as "normal" procedure, is actually highly abnormal, except for Abe Fortas, the crook nominated by LBJ that the Democrat Senate refused to confirm, not because of election year timing, but because he was taking bribes. If similar corruption is found in ACB, she won't be confirmed either.

McConnell did nothing different than any other justice confirmation under the same situation both times

McConnell was refusing to allow any nominee for the DC circuit to have an up or down vote. Tell me who else has ever done that?

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

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.

Lol..... For him it will be like eating a plate of rotten dog meat.

Jo

rightwinger is already wrong Kelly can't stop it

Republicans know it will come down to a race to get the vote in before the election.

They have the votes now with Pence deciding. Once Kelly wins, they don’t

I see you're not a math major
Now the GOP has a 53-47 advantage in the Senate
When Kelly gets seated, even as early as November 30th, even assuming Murkowski still votes with the democrats, Romney, Collins, and Grassley would not. so even after Kelly is seated the senate is still 51-49 GOP until January.

Collins, Murkowski, Romney, Kelly = 4

The vote on ACB will be before Kelly is seated, November 30th at the earliest, probably in January.
Romney is an "aye"
So its 51-49

And the Senate will need a vote of 60 to break the "Green Eggs".

You can thank Harry Reid for the new supreme Court Justice confirmation

we thank Mitch Mconnell who blocked zObama from filling judgeships at an unprecedented level and started this whole thing.

All Obama had to do to fill the open positions was to nominate people who were acceptable to both parties. That's the way it was always done when the presidency and senate were split.

Oh what unadulterated BS. Moscow Mitch McTurtle refused to take up votes on virtually EVERY vacancy.
Including Garland (the ultimate MODERATE) who would have sailed through with ease.

McConnell did nothing different than any other justice confirmation under the same situation both times

He is the first to not even allow a confirmation hearing
The first to keep a seat vacant for a year

It was during Obama’s entire administration. McConnell had decided that the president doesn’t get to make appointments without his permission.

You are conceding the point with and explanation, thank you. Reid and Obama had the option of nominating less extreme nominees with bipartisan appeal, but, they didn't want to work with the minority and for the moment, they had the raw power to run over them, and they did. That decision bit them in the ass, very very quickly.

Funny how McConnell was so committed to having the American people get a voice in the nomination of a justice in 2016 and now he doesn’t care what the people have to say.

Say goodbye to any president ever getting any judicial appointee confirmed if they don’t also hold the Senate.

Garland would have made a GREAT Justice. At this point, Biden should probably aim for someone a bit younger. Merrick will be 68 right after the election.

McConnel has taken a lot of abuse from his own. Justices though give him a lifeline. Frankly, the rhetoric of the Prog media/entertainers/politicians has caused a lot of violence and threats. McConnel has faced it in his own home. Just saying. He may have some resolve now.
