Wow! Mcconnell vows to vote on nominee!

McConnell: Trump's Supreme Court nominee 'will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate'

Senate Republicans have signaled that they would likely fill a vacancy to the Supreme Court ahead of the presidential election, but it is unclear whether the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will change their stance.

He really has no choice politically. If he doesn't put a butt in that seat, the Democrats probably take the Senate because clearly that is the prize. They may take it anyway but instead of academic ideas about what a Democratic Controlled Senate would do...it would be you elect this...you get that or you get 4 years of "no" if the blob wins. The hypocrisy may cost R's the senate but he'll keep his seat. He may lose that if he were to not be a hypocrite.

This will motivate every voter to get out and vote. Suspect they will have control of Supreme Court, but not likely to win the Presidency or keep the Senate.

Who?

What if Trump says "let's wait until after the election"? That is going to ensure they ALL vote. Even the RINOS will be cornered.

If Trump does it before, he chooses a woman and gains more female votes. He's in a win/win situation.

Voters will look at it as a complete betrayal by MCConnell, who said 10 months before election is too close before an election to make such a decision. They will take it out on Senate Republicans and on trump.

Are you claiming McConnell doesn’t have the right to pause the confirmation and vote on a SCOTUS nomination?

He has the right to put it off, but will not. Would you? Hell, would I? No. Mitch sucks, but he would be proud to go back home or become minority leader, knowing he put the deciding right wing vote on the Supreme Court for the next 15 - 20 years. You or I would also, if in his shoes. He sucked for what he did on the Obama nomination, but yes he will suck for what he is about to do on this one also.

 

[ColonelAngus]

It fully follows the Constituton for Trump to name a nominee and the nominee to get voted on.

Now some Senate Repulicans may flip, but there should be a vote.

Obama and Schumer would do it, we all know it.

The left are already freaking out and threatening violence. Trump has a constitutional right to nominate a replacement and the Senate has a Constitutional right to confirm.

Absolutely. There is nothing in the Constitution that says there cannot be a nominee vote during an election year.

Anyone who claims Obama wouldnt have sent through Garland if he had the Senate is a liar.

Democrats are scum and knowing lie when they claim they wouldn't do this. Remember Harry Reid?

At this point, the leftist hatred of Trump is so irrational he could nominate Obama and they'd fight it to the death.

You are absolutely right, this time. No way they will trust trump to make a moderate nominee, because they know he will not. He will put somebody that distinctly right of center. Somebody above said think of it like the Kavanaugh hearing, except with guns and knives. In the end, trumps nominee will be confirmed. It is what trump has to do, as any president would do. McConnell and the Senate will take the blame for pushing it through. Trump and 23 Republican Senators will be punished at the polls. Amazing, trump and McConnell (McConnell who blocked even a hearing on Obama's nominee 10 months out from an election) will just be playing the cards dealt, but they will be punished none the less, and Senate Republicans along with them.

When you own the senate, you can do what they want.

Nobody is going to punish anyone.

Not with the assholes on the left burning down cities.

People could give a **** about pushing through a nomination.

He has that right. One would expect the rules of the Senate wouldn't change based on the the party of the President however.

The Constitution hasn’t changed. The President has the power to appoint a Justice. The Senate is to counsel and confirm. Nothing has changed from 2016 and now. Nothing prevented Obama from nominating someone. The Senate had the power to confirm, or not to. They chose not to. To claim they must do the same for an entirely different nominee is absurd.

Nobody is saying he can't, only that it is a complete reversal of his position, last time and with this time only being 46 days till election, not 10 months. Voters have an idea of fairness. Unfairness leaves a bitter taste, not forgotten. No way it will not be forgotten within 46 days.

Why would that be absurd?

That "they" chose not to in one instance and "they" are choosing to in another instance is definitely a change. Politically, McConnell has no choice.

 

[occupied]

"The American people‎ should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President," McConnell said in a statement hours after Scalia died in February 2016. - Mitch McConnell

Speaking to Fox News last year, McConnell suggested his stance was not hypocritical -- because in 2020, Republicans would control both the White House and the Senate, unlike Democrats in 2016, who controlled only the White House.

"You have to go back to 1880s to find the last time a Senate controlled by a party different from the president filled a vacancy on the Supreme Court that was created in the middle of a presidential election year," McConnell told Fox News.

Just an excuse. The raw exercise of power without any ethical bounds is the only dynamic at work here. If this is how you people want it to be then America is dead as an ideal. It's banana republic bullshit and you know it.

 

[ColonelAngus]

So the left is mad that Trump will likely follow the Constitution?

It will be so absurd to riot because the President followed the Constituton.

[HenryBHough]

I'd rather see there be NO discussion of a replacement until after President Trump's re-inauguration.

But if it has to be otherwise, maybe it'll have a positive side.

It would make it necessary for senators up for re-election to make it clear where they stand. RINOs won't be able to resist obstructing and that could bring them down in November. If there is to be a pre-inauguration vote it MUST be forced before the election so there are no unswered questions of who's for America and who's a Socialist-in-disguise.

From a personal standpoint, they had to give a hearing...win lose or draw it's fine. But you at least fulfill your duty under the constitution.

If you're going to not give a hearing based on how much longer the term of the President is in office....that should be the standard. Consistency.

Politically, the turtle has no choice. He loses his job if he doesn't fill the seat by election day because he won't be the majority leader if democrats think that if they win the Senate, there is a clear prize on the line; not just getting the majority to have power...there is actually a prize. So if I were McConnell, I'd shitcan my ethics too and put Judge Judy on the bench before I'd leave it empty.

A fun fact...if Trump wanted to nominate Ivanka...he could. The justices on the court need not be lawyers.

Obama was the one who said it. Elections have consequences.

Why would they do that? Nothing wrong with it according to the Constitution? Are you suggesting they will not be bound by that document any more? If so, than it is over, isn't it?

Then Trump can expand it himself.
