WASHINGTON—Explaining that they were under a tight deadline, Senate Republicans told reporters Monday they were rushing to confirm six more Supreme Court justices before the election.
“We’ve been moving so fast with the Amy Coney Barrett confirmation because there are six more sets of hearings and votes we want to finish within the next week,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, noting that Republicans wanted to make sure, while they still held power to sidestep any Democrat complaints, that they curated a diverse selection of nuanced conservative opinions on the court to rule for the next few decades.

C'mon, we've got plenty of time till Nov 3rd: one day for each candidate. Isn't that enough?

theonion has been running more woke plaintive wails than humor lately.
This the best looking photo of Mitch Mcconnell I can recall.
donsteele LOL!
And THAT is why Joe Biden is not revealing whether he will expand the court until at least January 6th. The Republicans WOULD just vote on 6 new justices (or more) during a lame duck session if Biden even HINTS at the idea at expanding the court.
