Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) is an outgoing Senator but he is firmly supporting President Donald Trump’s nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court.

In a statement released Sunday, Alexander claimed that the so-called “McConnell Rule” doesn’t count because the Senate and the White House is ruled by Republicans. The “McConnell Rule” was never a rule until McConnell decided he didn’t want former President Barack Obama to nominate another justice when conservative Justice Antonin Scalia died suddenly.

“Senator McConnell is only doing what Democrat leaders have said they would do if the shoe were on the other foot,” said Alexander.

He was never seen as a possible vote against McConnell, as a conservative.

Say asshole, never heard or read of the Democrats not ever taking a supreme court nominee and just not giving that individual or the president a vote on the Article II requirement for his nominee.
Can you fucking tell us when a Democratic majority did that asshole......you know when the shoe was on the other foot.....do you have selective memory?

1. He has an "R" after his name

of course will do all he can to ruin our nation. All. He. Can.

And as to the others who say "not before the election"...well, we know they mean "we'll do it in Lame Duck season".

None of them can be trusted. None. Zero integrity, zero morals. That is todays' Republican party.

3. How can anyone be surprised considering this is the same Senator who basically said Trump was guilty

but he wasn't going to impeach. Hopefully Romney stands and does the right thing again.

5. Did not this POS score tens of Billions

in Pork for his State just recently? All about money and Legacy for many in Politics.

8. rot in hell Lamar...

Grover Norquist has succeeded wildly: He wanted to shrink the number of principled republicans to a group so small you could downed them in a bathtub.

Great Job!
