    Something that occurs to me during this court forum: There are now 269 days until the presidential election. Antonin Scalia died 269 days before the 2016 election; Republicans argued that it was too close to the election to replace him.

        LOL that McConnell is intellectually consistent, but he did have the argument that the opposition party controlled the Senate, which isn't true today. It would, however, be the perfect time for the Mugwumps (Bennet, Romney, Collins, Murkowski, Portman, &c) to hijack the Senate

        You mean Gardner (R-CO), not Bennet (D-CO)?

        McConnell has pretty much said it wasn’t.
