McSally, Gardner, Collins probably aren’t going to be on board for that.

I think it’s better for Trump that the seat is open. Don’t show up on election day and Biden will appoint Abortion Q. Dragqueen to the S.C.!!

The rule they can't change is that Trump would have to nominate Hannity in this scenario, but other than that, you have it right.

I love the naivity of people who actually think that the GOP won't have voted a new judge through in a week or two.

Murk and Romney will only be no’s if the nominee is someone blatantly political like Tom Cotton.

There is quite a few conservative judges that would look at least okay on paper and would be rated as well qualified by the ABA.

I guess I'm bad at politics. Seems silly to do this kind of dick-waving if you don't plan to follow through, given the real possibility that your party gets replaced in the upcoming election and these (allegedly empty?) words get used against you as an excuse to justify more extreme things they want to do.

Suppose D Take all 3. which is 50 50 according to predict it. what are D options on Jan 21st what kind of threshold do they need to add seats 51? 67? I think I heard nothing in the supreme court for number of justices. 6 to 3 republicans can continually block any law they don't like.

That’s what Mitch thinks; hence “power play”.

I don’t think the benefit will outweigh the cost for the GOP Rs that matter.

Justice Cotton or better yet Justice Barr

Mitch almost threw out his back when he cheered when he heard the news
