McConnell can go through the charade but he won't have the votes. Two GOP senators have already defected and more will follow. The ice is very thin under those seeking reelection.
The very worst place to be in America right now is on Trump's list of Supreme Court candidates.
You're so wrong that it's not even funny. Senate will confirm the nomination, that is not even a question.

I’d be stunned if Romney didn’t vote to confirm a nominee. As spineless as he is, he also cares about the courts and who sits in it. And while he doesn’t like Trump he also isn’t a liberal republican like Collins and Murkowski. I see only two republicans breaking rank on this. Even if Romney did break ranks o don’t know who the hell the fourth could be. The other fifty GOP senators are fairly conservative.
Cory Gardner. Is in a very blue state and tough reelection battle. His political future is literally on the line. Don't think Gardner will sacrifice himself for Trump.

Obama had the right to name Scalia’s replacement. That was denied to him.
He had the right to nominate someone. He got it. He doesn't have a right to his nomination being heard and he doesn't have a right to having his nomination approved by the Senate.
If Trump was foolish enough to nominate someone like Garland, as Obama was, the Senate would reject it just the same.
Odds are, he'll nominate someone they'll approve of, but it's not automatic.
How cute. You act as if they were acting according to some lofty principles as opposed to partisan interest. I guess that explains why Mitch McConnell is suddenly so eager to vote now whereas he pushed it off then.
Yes, it is automatic. Just the fact that it was Obama pitching a candidate to a GOP Senate meant the whole thing was DOA right from the start. If they have to, they will put anyone with a pulse in there who leans right and implies they're down to gut abortion and proliferate guns. Why would they pass up this opportunity?
Elegance and clarity from Biden, arrogance and indifference from DJT.
Biden reading his speech from pieces of paper and then confirmed that voters elected Trump and Trump gets to nominate the SCOTUS.... Senate gets to confirm... Done deal...
Wow, honestly thought this was fake news. First, irregardless of her positions, she loved this country and fought through a lot for what she believed in!
RIP, my condolences to her family and friends. Politics can wait for another day!!!
