    If POTUS ignores precedent, I believe extraordinary circumstances give the Senate every right to deny the nominee an up or down vote. (5/5)

        @lisamurkowski there is no precedent for punting on a year of the SCOTUS. The American people deserve to have their highest court working!

        Senator, if you want to obstruct the nomination process, do so. But don't lie and claim it's based on "precedent". It's not. @lisamurkowski

        14 justices in US history were confirmed in election years. Most recently, in 1988. Your so-called "precedent" doesn't exist. @lisamurkowski
