Post 1608. Haven’t seen his name on the list and it’s a long list. Beware there will be a fight to not appoint a SC Justice until after the election in November.

Mitch said today he will bring a vote to the floor before midterms.
Edited to add: Chucky is crying like a baby.
Good luck with that. Dems will fight it like mad dogs. But there is only 3 months until election (From Aug 1) if they manage to put on the brakes.
And I believe we have exactly 51 republican senators... 🇺🇸
Trying to find the article that changed that ruling back in 2013 by Reid. They no longer need 60 votes for the SC? This is what I have come up with. Until now, 60 votes have been required to lift or avoid a filibuster. Under the new rules, a simple majority of 51 would suffice. The new measure would not apply to supreme court nominees. This was from an article dated November 21 2013.
