WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Republican Senator Cory Gardner said on Monday he would vote for a “qualified nominee” to the Supreme Court, suggesting he is not in favor of waiting for the winner of the Nov. 3 presidential election to name a replacement for the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

“I have and will continue to support judicial nominees who will protect our Constitution, not legislate from the bench, and uphold the law,” Gardner said in a statement. “Should a qualified nominee who meets this criteria be put forward, I will vote to confirm.”

I think everything else is just wishful thinking.

6. This will be the true "Operation Warp Speed". I know that will piss off a lot of people

around here, but we need to prepare for it, and decide what our next move will be.

2. That is, one with a pulse and a Federalist Society endorsement, right Cory?

Asshole.

8. As if that lying, incompetent, unqualified partisan hack would recognize "qualified", even if it bit

him. .

Hey, cory, 538 had CO 68% Dem the other day. Time to amend your resume.

9. Why not take a tip from Drumf?

Sue the Republicans when they nominate a SC justice, and drag out the court fight until after January 20.

10. Great. Gardner is a Republican.

"Qualified" to him means, right wing, Catholic, against the right of the individual and for the rights of the State or the corporation instead, for the death penalty, against a required proof of guilt, and for the right of the state to trample the rights of any individual citizen as long as they are not a member of the Republican Party.

The Framers, needless to say, had another definition of "qualified" in mind. Go Hickenlooper!

11. When your adversary is making a mistake, don't interrupt him...

...this, more than anything, is likely to flip the Senate.

Hope this is the last nail in his coffin.
