AZ-SEN: McSally says current Senate should vote on Trump nominee

Sen. Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) said the current Senate should hold a vote on President Trump’s nominee to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

“Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg broke barriers for all women. My prayers are with her family in this difficult time,” McSally tweeted.

“This U.S. Senate should vote on President Trump's next nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court,” she added in a follow-up tweet.

McSally’s remarks followed similar comments from Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) who said Trump “has every right to pick a new justice before the election.”

There isn't even enough time to go through the process in the next 45 days. And do they really want to be off the campaign trail?

And what's the rush? Aren't they confident of winning and being around later? <--------------------------- THIS IS THE KEY TELL

Trying to fire up the trumpistas who are lukewarm over her past reluctance to embrace the POS at first. She's going to lose big and this is just a Hail Mary that won't work.

towards the end the captain of the Titanic told the
passengers that there was free ice for everyone.

Please tell the women of AZ that you are taking their choice away from them and that the Hispanic people can be funded with.
