    Just spoke with John Cornyn, who is bullish about the prospects of any of the four SCOTUS picks, telling me that “the outcome is relatively certain” because of the change in filibuster rules. He thinks the nom will respect precedent to help alleviate Collins/Murkowski concerns

        Cornyn agreed with McConnell that Kethledge and Hardiman would be the easiest to confirm, but he said: “I don’t think we need to pull any punches in terms of the other two nominees who do have a record bc im confident they will be able to be confirmed.”

        As far as the impact on the midterms, Cornyn told me: “This is certainly going to provide a lot of energy for the votes in the midterm elections - the timing could not be better from my perspective.”

        I for one WON’T be watching tonight’s TRUMP GAME SHOW “Name That Scotus” where the host, Trump, will tell us some contrived crap about how “great it is for our country”. I’d rather watch something more real like WWE Wrestling. #ScotusPick

        America is going to have an enlightened, tolerant informed generation (as represented by the Parkland survivors) coming of age into a country with a sour, Federalist Society judiciary. That's not good and it's going to cause trouble.

        Are they going to break rules again and go for 51 votes? They know damn well that aren't getting 60 votes. They should get 0 considering Trump is under FBI investigation.

        Question is why the US #MSM is not questioning the propriety of nominations from President who is under investigation for collusion with #Russia, fake charity, may be criminal tax evasion and manufactured refugee crisis!

        Trump will select the judge who has written that a sitting POTUS cannot be indicted and tried.

        Yes and he is an Ivy Leaguer (Yale Law). Trump is said to value that also. We'll find out soon.

        As long as the GOP majority led Congress continues to abdicate their Article I responsibilities, then Trump can pretty much do whatever he wants without consequence. Sad... #VoteTheGOPOut2018

        Since @JohnCornyn is not the most honest or intelligent Senator in the world, this is not reassuring; neither are Collins or Murkowski. However, since even SC justices can be impeached, it will surely be a brave new world in a few years.

        I'm pretty sure Cornyn thinks the tax-cut package he supported is going to pay for itself, as well. Thinking something doesn't make something so.
