    When pols say there's a McConnell "rule" or Biden "rule" to block Supreme Court nominees in an election year, reminder there is no such Senate rule. The schedule is set by the majority leader, who can decide when and whether to schedule a confirmation vote on a nominee.

        Can the GOP install someone on the court all by themseleves, or do they need some Dem support?

        They only need a simple majority. If McCain can't vote, there will be a tie, which pence will break.

        So the answer is yes. Basically no one outside the GOP can stop this?

        Resist defeatism. We need to identify one or two GOP senators with a corner of conscience and a scrap of soul and put all the pressure we can muster on these individuals. There must be one or two with a corner of conscience and a scrap of soul left, right?

        The Senate should not vote on any nominee until it is clear that he or she has no financial link to the Trump Organization and no involvement in the matters under investigation by the Special Counsel.

        I’ve said 1 million times. The senate majority leader and his counter part in the house have too much power. There must be a recourse for minority parties to call votes.

        We need to HAMMER McConnell with any and all pressure we can bring to bear! & get all Senators we can reach, to lean on him as well! GO AFTER HIS DONORS. That's what he values. #GrabYourWallet and #Boycott. Let those cpmpanies know WHY you boycott. Take initiative. Be creative.

        But they're plenty cheap, too. The idea of losing potential $$$ will drive them buggy.

        Or even whether he wants to change the rules halfway through if it'll benefit that small percentage of Americans who give him money and wash his balls. 27% of people self-identify as R', a small minority who keep all the prizes and punish poor and PoC. Apartheid-ish.

        Hopefully Trump will come to regret pissing all over some of the departing GOP Senators.

        Justice Elana Kagan was nominated/confirmed in 2010, the 1st midterm election year of the O presidency. That’s because in 2008 the people voted for a D President and a D Senate. In 2016, the people voted for a R POTUS & Senate. That’s why the vote should take place this Fall.
