McConnell will not allow block on open Judiciary spot

Is his own imminent death finally making Mitch soft?

Actually, it doesn’t look like McConnell is the one saying it in this article, but I hope it’s true.

Um, duh… Cornyn was speaking for the minority leadership. Do you think he did not have McTurtle’s blessing?

Watch out for a trick….

Shocked if this turns out to be true and it holds. This is very unlike the Repukes, especially McTurtle.

I'm stunned, but will wait to see it.

I don’t know if Cornyn & McConnell talked or not. I don’t assume anything these days. I hope it’s true, but we’ll see. I really thought that was one of the reasons Feinstein wasn’t leaving.

I'm certain it was, r7.

Don't believe a word Mitch says. Ever.

I don't believe it for a second. He's never been trustworthy. Something is up, for sure.

President Biden knows these senators personally. I'm sure some favors were called in. That or McConnell knows he's overplayed his hand with the judiciary.

Well maybe Mitch understands that it isn’t a good time to interfere with the Judiciary since Kevin McCarthy is determined to tank the government.

He's hoping that by changing his ways, he can avoid going to hell.

Sorry, Bitch! Not gonna happen.

Your spot is already reserved!

Yeah, right.

Never

Ever

Ever

Trust a fucking word they say. And even IF it turns out to be true, you can bet Schumer gave away the farm for it to make any appointment moot.

In a fantasy world, Gavin would chose Kamala to take the senate seat and then Biden would have a fighting chance of being re-elected (with a solid running mate from a swing state aka GW).

God that would be amazing

AND Kamala was previously already serving on the judiciary committee.

he's still a cunt

He hasn't heard from ME! I'm powerful, you know, one of the five most powerful senators.

McConnell can't die soon enough for my liking.

I'll believe it when it happens. Republicans are liars who always go back on their word.

They must know something we are not privy to. Perhaps something about Trump and are trying to suck up to Biden or the polling is way off for them in 2024. McConnell is an evil genius. Plays the game better than most, do not underestimate the man.

Except he’s having mini-strokes so maybe he’s lost his edge.

If they don't allow a vote to repalce DiFI on the Judiciary, Schumer should not allow a vote on a budget and let the government shut the fuck down. The Republicans will be blamed regardless, so it's a win-win situation. It's time Democrats start playing hardball just like the Republicans.

Harry Reid invoked the nuclear option to prevent filibusters of Obama's appointments, other than for Supreme Court. Does that not fit your definition of hardball?

R23 is clueless

That was a decade ago, R24. We're in another era.

Likewise, R25.
