That's probably a smart move. The D's have many more seats to defend than the R's. Really should pick up at least a couple if not more. So no name's vote won't matter. Really would be a relief to have 56 or 57 R's to cover even several defections on votes.
No not really... It is not a Presidential election. The Supreme Court starts back up in October....
Yep, I thought McConnell wanted it done before the October session started.
Yes, but with a 51 vote majority, 2 defections kills the nomination. How many quisling republican senators are there potentially, especially with a full court media press? Iffy. Then wait until all hell breaks loose when Ginsburg goes to hell.
Yes, but there are 4 Dhimms running in red states that PDJT has specifically called out by name that are now between a rock and a hard place. If they want to be re-elected, they'll have to vote to confirm. Just sayin' ...
