Two GOP Senators Oppose Filling Supreme Court Vacancy in 2020

But progressives may be able to cross off “RGB is going to pass away before November and be replaced with a 40-year-old Federalist Society theocrat (and/or QAnon blogger)” from their list of reasons for perpetual panic.

After Antonin Scalia’s death in 2016, Mitch McConnell infamously refused to dignify Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland with so much as a hearing. At the time, the Senate Majority Leader argued that confirming Garland in an election year would be undemocratic, as it would deny “the American people” a chance to “have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court justice.” But as Ginsburg’s health woes have fueled speculation about a potential vacancy in 2020, McConnell has refined this principle, explaining that it is only wrong to confirm a Supreme Court justice in an election year when the White House and Senate are controlled by different parties. Since the GOP holds both today, Republicans have a clear mandate from the American people to consolidate conservative dominance of the Supreme Court (never mind that the Republican president lost the popular vote in 2016, or that Americans delivered a historic landslide to Democrats in the last round of federal elections).

On Monday, Republican senator Lisa Murkowski said that filling a Supreme Court vacancy before 2021 would be “a double standard,” and she “would not support it.” Her GOP colleague Chuck Grassley, meanwhile, told NBC News that he also felt filling a vacancy would violate the party’s 2016 standard and that he “couldn’t move forward with it,” were he still the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.*

*"Monday" was August 3, 2020.

5. We'll need one more - that will get us to 50 and Pence will break any tie.

4. Thing is, Grassley's NOT Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee...

Lindsey Graham is. This is a done deal, I'm afraid.

[George II]

6. But if he felt that way if he were Chairman, he certainly won't vote to confirm.

7. That was then...........

this is now.

I won't trust them farther than I can throw a potato chip - they have NO credibility regarding anything they say at any time.

This is going to be ugly.
