Mitch McConnell Promises Trump's Ruth Bader Ginsburg Replacement Will Get A Vote

This time, McConnell is not waiting around.

Just hour after Ginsburg’s death was announced, the GOP leader said he would be moving forward as soon as Trump does. This year is different from 2016, he said, because the Senate and the president are in the same party.

“Americans reelected our majority in 2016 and expanded it in 2018 because we pledged to work with President Trump and support his agenda, particularly his outstanding appointments to the federal judiciary. Once again, we will keep our promise,” he said in a statement. “President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”

The opportunity to replace one of the court’s most liberal justices with a conservative is a dream come true for many in the Republican Party. If Trump’s nominee is confirmed, the court would be tilted 6-3 toward conservatives.

Trump needs someone who will shelter his taxes and subpoenas--preventing Roberts from being a swing vote.

1. And we promise to expand the court

You wanna play so will we. Also giving DC and Puerto Rico statehood.

4. Exactly.

We can say "The difference is now the Democrats have the White House and the Senate." While we're at it, we will make DC, Puerto Rico and Guam all states, near eradicating any chance for the Republicans to ever come back in power in their current form.

6. And Wyoming rule

Might as well go for a trifecta

7. Love it!

I actually hadn't seen that before, but it would definitely keep us from having to get rid of the EC for the most part.

8. Gotta do it

Only way to save the United States and give power to the actual majority.
