1. ...K&R...

[leftieNanner]

2. If he were the Majority Leader right now

He would absolutely do that. I will not breathe easy until we have Breyer's replacement confirmed.

[FoxNewsSucks]

5. If I were a Democratic senator,

I also wouldn't breathe easy. I put nothing past the scheming republicon criminal scumbags.

18. ++ agree. n/t

[SilasSouleII]

23. Absolutely he would do that

3. Schumer needs to ram this nomination through as quickly as McConnell did Amy Coney Barrett.

[jaxexpat]

4. Yes! Rammed so hard and fast that......

Barrett and Kavanaugh are jarred out of their ill-gotten positions along with the endlessly entertaining Thomas. I'm on a fantasy roll.

[calimary]

11. I'm starting to refer to Kavanaugh as Brett "Kegger" Kavanaugh.

And on his eventual headstone will be his signature declaration: "I LIKE BEER!!!"

[quakerboy]

22. That would require investigations

That are not, to the best of my knowledge, happening.

[dalton99a]

7. Absolutely.

[L. Coyote]

14. No, we need to return to normal order, not remold our party in the image of arseholes.

25. Nope.

We need to save democracy first.

[RedSpartan]

20. I've read reports that he plans to do exactly that.

Republicans set the precedent, after all.

[RocRizzo55]

6. I wouldn't put it past him. nt

8. You are a Winner, Mike

Thank You, Mike Luckovich............that is something McConnell would do, wouldn't surprise me at all!!! He is such a creep!!

9. McConnell's Already Said About As Much...

In prior interviews. If the Repukes take back the Senate, he's hinted that he won't consider any SCOTUS nominees for Biden during next Congress. I would be willing to bet that he'd amend that to not considering any court nominees at all, SCOTUS or otherwise.

I despise McConnell with a passion that I cannot begin to describe. I mean I loathe tRump, but I hate McConnell by orders of magnitude more.

[LoisB]

10. Right there with you. tRump is an egotistical asshole but McConnell is pure EVIL.

[FakeNoose]

12. Yes it's a stroke of luck that Justice Breyer is already hip to McConnell's crap

More than likely Stephen Breyer decided to retire NOW just to be sure that Biden got the pick, rather than wait a year or two and lose it to asshole McConnell.

Thank you Justice Stephen Breyer!

[Lonestarblue]

13. Unfortunately, Thomas and Alito aren't likely to retire any time soon.

Thomas is 73 and Alito 71. I’m hoping, though, that the January 6 Commission unearths some direct links between Ginni Thomas and the insurrection. He might consider retiring to get her out of the limelight.

[soldierant]

15. Your hope is also mine.

I was also hoping that some actual criminal activity could be pinned on hin - I'm sure it exists - but certainly her activities are screaming violations of not just ethics (and SCOTUS doesn't have any code of ethics) but also law.

[L. Coyote]

16. McConnell is powerless in the SCOTUS fight
