What McConnell is planning is not a "hearing".

[Atticus]

A "hearing" is "a proceeding of relative formality at which evidence and arguments may be presented on the matter at issue to be decided by a person or body having decision-making authority".

There is, you see, no issue "to be" decided; the decision has already been made. McConnell and the rest of the zombie senators see it as their "duty" to confirm WHOEVER the idiotic brat in the Oval Office decides to nominate. "Who" doesn't matter. Experience, intelligence, qualifications---none of these matter.

Whoever. Whatever.

We are just one tiny baby step away from "Why waste time with a 'hearing'? We don't need no stinkin' hearing. Whoever Dear Leader chooses will be great!"

1. They will rush someone through

And probably miss some awful inconvenient past bad behavior. Making eventual removal much easier.

[leftieNanner]

2. They certainly don't want to allow Kamala Harris

An opportunity to question the nominee!

3. I would be very surprised if they held an actual hearing or had debates on the floor

4. People in this country better wake up +get congressional republicans out ASAP not just Leader

[Calista241]

5. They're going to explain it away

by saying 'these people just went through confirmation. So they've already completed their FBI background check, they've submitted all their documents, education records, etc.'
