Idiot. Gorsuch and Kavanaugh ONLY got on when Moscow Mitch tanked the long standing Senate Rule requiring 60 Senators to approve of a SCOTUS nominee. That forces presidents to pick moderate justices and not extremists, or rapists like Kavanaugh. Trump will ONLY put forth a nominee who promises him some election fodder; such as
-- a guarantee to vote no on Roe v. Wade,
-- a guaranteed to vote no on Romenycare (the ACA),
-- and the #1 promise, to vote to stop the election counting at midnight on election day.
Basically someone who is a political idealist who follows party and religious beliefs over the law.
So funny you call me an idiot when it was HARRY REID who did what you say McConnell did. Classic.
No, Harry Reid changed the rule about other presidential appointments, not the Supreme Court. The SC is too important to be based on a simple 1 vote majority, and all parties involved should work with nominees who can achieve the 60 vote threshold.
