WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Friday night that he intends to allow for a floor vote in the Senate to confirm a new nominee made by President Donald Trump to replace the Supreme Court vacancy left by Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
"The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president," Schumer tweeted, quoting McConnell, who made the same statement during Barack Obama's presidency after Justice Antonin Scalia died in 2016.
Sen. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., who is also vulnerable, tweeted that the Senate should vote on Trump's nominee. Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., said on Twitter that if McConnell does, in fact, hold a confirmation vote, then if Democrats win control of the Senate in November, they should abolish the filibuster and add seats to the Supreme Court so that they it would have more than nine justices. They would only do this, however, if former Vice President Joe Biden defeats Trump.
You cant do that in rushed manner
You can thank Chuckie and his cohorts when President Trump replaces Ginsberg with a conservative. Remember when Dems controlled Congress, had their little shit fit, and decided the nuclear option was viable. Now the shoes on the other foot. Payback is a bitch!
Hey Schumer…
Schumer doesn't get to decide.
