McConnell Says He’d Fill Supreme Court Vacancy in 2020 (Harry Reid, death, Reid)

[TigerLily24]

Yes, the hypocrisy is real folks.

As predicted, Mitch no longer has any objection to election year nominees when his party in in the WH.

“Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told a Paducah Chamber of Commerce luncheon in Kentucky Tuesday that he would confirm a Trump Supreme Court nominee if a seat on the bench opened up next year during the presidential election.”

So much for letting the next president make the decision.

Least surprising news ever.

Party before country.

Cons are now fully on board with bending the rules governing how our institutions function so long as that leads to conservative policy outcomes.

Same deal with trying to restrict the electorate to get a smaller whiter subset.

It’s the same attitude they see from the maniac and his desire to be an autocrat.

All that talk back about letting the voters decide was just BS from McConnell. Nothing but a partisan power play denying the POTUS and his nominee a rightful hearing. Mitch is and always was a complete hypocrite and the latest words from him just confirm it.

Nonsense. I'm no fan of Harry Reid, but McConnell is the ultimate hypocritical swamp creature beholden to special interests. The only principle he knows is the principal he earns on the heaps of lobbyist money he and his wife receive.

I know a good number of conservatives. Yep as friends.

It is ALL ABOUT SCOTUS picks. Yep they like the tax thing but they love the SCOTUS picks. Trump could have relations with his mistresses on the front lawn of the White House in front of his wife and they will look away for the SCOTUS picks.

Interesting thing I find is after the Dems eviscerated Kavanaugh, he seems to have a bit of an independent streak. Time will tell of course.

Time will also give the Dems their vengeance. That is all DC seems to be about now. One side one-ups the other on power grabs.

It really doesn't matter since Trump will be in the White House until 2025.
