“if you want to know why Republicans *will* confirm a nominee this year, watch this video”

Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

In a letter to the opposition, Lindsey Graham lays out the historical argument for voting soon on the Supreme Court opening, and then:

Lastly, after the treatment of Justice Kavanaugh I now have a different view of the judicial confirmation process. Compare the treatment of Robert Bork, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh to that of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan, and it’s clear that there already is one set of rules for a Republican president and one set of rules for a Democrat president.

I therefore think it is important that we proceed expeditiously to process any nomination made by
President Trump.

Has had enough of their nonsense.
