Why does Hugh Hewitt have a show on MSNBC? Alert. This morning he was interviewing Sen John Cornyn

about whether the Senate was going to nominate and get confirmed on the Appeals Courts the 20 openings available before they adjourn for their August recess. "Are you going to have to stay there in August to get these 20 nominations done?" said Hewitt. Hewitt then asked Corning would he promise him that they would not adjourn for recess until those 20 vacancies were filled.

Cornyn said that you need to talk to Chuck Shummer because they are the ones that are stonewalling and they are also the ones who the most exposed running in states that Trump carried and are very worried that they need to get home and tend to their business there so they can get re-elected. So Cornyn thinks that the GOP is in good shape in getting those 20 nominations passed by the August recess. Cornyn said that these nominees are all in the likes of Gorsich which means they are young and will be on those appeals courts for generations to come. I think we need to let Schummer and the rest of the Democratic members of Congress know that we don't want them to rush those 20 nominees through Congress before the August recess. I know they will push it, but we have to make sure the Dems slow walk it, or we will have all the Courts seated with young Trump nominees for generations to come. We have to let Congress know that we want them to slow walk these 20 nominees.

Also, we need to let MSNBC know that Hugh Hewitt needs to go. I'm sure there's a place for him somewhere on the Fox Network. We don't need him on MSNBC making the GOP promise that they won't adjourn until their 20 GOP nominees pass Congress. Those 20 nominees could be our nominees if we take back the House and Senate, not theirs; and stonewalling their confirmation hearings for 3 months is nothing compared to the year long stonewall Mitch McConnell did with Obama's Supreme Court nominee that went to Gorsich.

Comcast Media which is NBC/MSNB,management is hard core Right Wing. It was common knowledge before the 2016 election cycle,they wanted to be the new Right Wing Media Company.

Again,it is all about kissing the Kings ass.
