“Over the coming days, we are all going to come under tremendous pressure from the press to announce how we will handle the coming nomination. For those of you who are unsure how to answer, or for those inclined to oppose giving a nominee a vote, I urge you all to keep your powder dry. This is not the time to prematurely lock yourselves into a position you may later regret.”
—Mitch McConnell, in email to Republican lawmakers. [Yes, Virginia, there really is a hypocrite (or two) in Washington.]
“If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump’s term, and the primary process has started, we’ll wait to the next election. I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say ‘Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination.'”
—Lindsey Graham, 2018.
“I don’t want to speculate, but I think appointing judges is a high priority for me in 2020.”
—Lindsey Graham, 2020. [My, how quickly the chameleons can change colors.]
“Let me be clear: If Leader McConnell and Senate Republicans move forward with this, then nothing is off the table for next year. Nothing is off the table,”
—Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, on Saturday.
“The last 70 years, a Supreme Court justice was not confirmed in the final year of a president’s term.”
—Faux News host Laura Ingraham, 2016. [Wrong again, Laura; the Democratic-controlled Senate in election year 1988, unanimously confirmed Anthony Kennedy, Ronald Reagan’s nomination. It was Mitch McConnell who changed the rules in 2016 and who now wants to change them again.]
“It was the most beautiful thing. It’s called law and order.”
—“Law and order” candidate Donald Trump, gloating about MSNBC reporter Ali Velshi.
“What law did I break while covering an entirely peaceful (yes, entirely peaceful) march?”
—Reporter Ali Velshi, responding to comments by a very sick Donald Trump.
“You love your president, and your president gets honored. I’m not being honored, you’re being honored, with the Nobel Peace Prize for Israel, what we did with Israel.”
—Donald Trump, at a campaign rally in Fayetteville, N.C. [Um, Donnie, you might want to hold off on the boasts for a bit. You’ve been nominated, but you haven’t actually won yet.]

The thought of another conservative jurist on SCOTUS nauseates me. And the two faced Republican politicians in the Senate bring up the bile.
CJG…I cannot add anything to your post except: “ME TOO!”

And Justice Sotomayor agreed with her.
You know beyond the shadow of a doubt that were situation reversed, Schumer would push democrat President to nominate and the Senate would confirm. The word is hypocrite. You do not like it because Trump will be able to seat another Justice. You also oppose conservative (Constitutional Justice), yet, you cannot or will not defend the Democrat Platform (nauseates you ?).
Zoe, I’ve been reading your comments for some time and the only consistent thing about you is that your are consistently absurd. You accuse Schumer of hypocrisy when you are no less hypocritical. Yes, Ginsburg said it was the Senate’s job to fill a vacancy in the final year a presidency. But fact is, McConnell would have none of it. Where were you then with your sanctimonious judgment calls? Not a peep was heard from good old Zoe. But four years later, you suddenly want to invoke Justice Ginsburg’s opinion about filling a vacancy. You can’t have it both ways but apparently, you, McConnell and Graham feel you should.
And wasn’t it Rush Limbaugh who famously said on his show in 2008 that he hoped Obama failed? And wasn’t it McConnell who said his one objective was to oppose every Obama objective in order to make him a one-term president? Does that sound patriotic or partisan to you?
Your own inconsistency makes you precisely what you called CJG: a hypocrite.
ZOE….you accuse Schumer of being as crooked as McConnell without a shred of evidence…just your projection like Trump does. Can you cite the times that Democrats have pulled the crooked stunt that McConnell pulled on Merrick Garland’s nomination? McConnell would not even let a hearing be held when he knew he had the votes to crush him….If you refuse to acknowledge corruption when you see it in your own Party, then certainly you cannot see it anywhere else. Of course, you do understand that with the appointment of a very conservative judge (one possible nominee maintains that you must Biblically submit to your husband’s every whim) and much of the equal benefits of being an American which were afforded to women as a result of RBG’s efforts will simply go away. I guess you don’t value the rights gained for women, yourself and all women that might mean something to you. So, instead of demonizing Schumer, your time might be better spent in researching what you have to loose if your “god” McConnell has his way. Good grief!
