Said McConnell: I think its highly unlikely in fact, no, I dont think either party, if it were different from the president, would confirm a Supreme Court nominee in the middle of an election.

(15,967 posts)Senate during trumps time. I hope he wouldnt anyway. I can see that forever the only justices that will be appointed will be the party that has presidency and the senate. Otherwise forget it. Yep were here.

(21,967 posts)McConnell is just straight trolling now. What a despicable piece of shit. Saying this after what they did with Amy Coney Barrett last year.
They say the GOP's only policy any more is to make libs mad, well guess what -- I'M MAD!
McConnell should never again get the chance to be Senate Majority Leader.

Hes a fucking traitor.

(16,126 posts)and there was a vacancy in 2023, they wouldn't even meet with the nominee.
If by some horrible chance, we won the 2024 election but lost the senate, we'd be down one until we got the senate back or they got their next president.
He should just be honest about it and say "I will never, ever cooperate on anything for any reason."

But I'm holding out hope that the R's don't win back the senate.

(11,257 posts)I realize that he's never said it out loud, but this is a given. We either need to have and fill a vacancy before the midterms, or we need to hold the Senate. Otherwise we're screwed.

(12,286 posts)He would never let a Democratic president fill a seat.
Election year or in the first year of a term.
This is why we should nuke the filibuster and play as hard ball as they do.
But we won't so why even worry about it.
We are already defeated because we refuse to fight.
