Why do I say this? Let's check the numbers. Currently the GOP holds a 51-49 edge in the Senate. McCain is not likely to be able to v**e. Susan Collins has announced she will oppose any pro-life nominee. There is another female GOP Senator who probably will do the same. That would give the Democrats a 51-48 edge to oppose Trump's nominee along party lines. That will require at least two Democrats in conservative states who are up for ree******n to v**e for Trump's pick. This is assuming Trump picks a pro life person to serve on the SCOTUS. He can take the easier road and choose one who will let Roe V. Wade stand. Even is a pro-life nominee is confirmed there is no guarantee the current conservative leaning Justices will v**e to overturn Roe V. Wade. Remember Obamacare. If more GOP Senators want Roe V. Wade to be upheld the task gets even harder.

I'd say you probably have a pretty good grasp of the situation, L-T. But, at least, unlike Merrick Garland, the nominee will be put forth to the U.S. Senate for a hearing and confirmation v**e. In a just world, Mr. Garland would once again be nominated, as he remains an excellent choice.

Harry Reid used the same tactics to hold up GOP passed legislation and he is the one who invoked the nuclear option. If he had been in the same position that McConnell was he would gace done the same thing.

I wouldn't question you on that. But, when is this kind'a nonsense gon'na end.

The finger-pointing needs to end, thus allowing the process to be carried out. It's got'ta start sometime, somehow.

Nominating Garland and allowing for his appointment would be a good place to start. But, that ain't gon'na happen.

Even if Trump nominated Christ for the Supreme Court, most of the Democrats would reject Him, unless in rejecting Him they were to realize their final destination.

A judge should not be appointed for his party affiliation but by his interpretation of the law or the Constitution.

Collins, whom I can’t stand will v**e for a pro life judge. Just not one who openly supports the dismantling of Roe v. Wade. Same with Murkowski whom I don’t like either. Roe v wade is a horribly written decision. Scholars from both sides agree on this. I believe a pro life court would have a tough time overturning it.

Interesting how court has changed, before 1932, all Justices were Protestants. If trump appoints one of several on his list the Court will 2 Jews , 6 Roman Catholics.Most people don't know this, the change in sex and color is obvious.
