[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kavanaugh will sail through. Sure we'll here lots of this and that, but it's a done deal. Collins, Murkowski, Manchin, etc will all confirm. Plus, he's actually a great pick. I dare anyone to come up with a plausible argument on why he should not be confirmed. [/quote] Well he didn’t sail through last time, but maybe it will be different this time. Here’s a plausible argument: unlike seven of the other justices on the court who needed 60 advice and consent votes, Kavanaugh will only need 51, meaning the pick will not be a consensus. He won’t get 60 votes. The Senate does not see him as a solid pick like the other seven. Better picks are available. Here’s another plausible argument not to confirm. Mitch McConnell has now established a rule that justices should not be confirmed in an election year. 33 Senators could lose their jobs in November. What’s the rush? Why should these senators get a say when they could be out of a job in just 4 months? Let the people decide; it’s what Mitch McConnell has said needs to happen.[/quote] Nice try, friend. [b]I doubt ANY nominee would get 60 votes in today’s partisan environment. You know that Scalia was confirmed 98 - 0?[/b] And, as for your second argument.... You left off a critical point in McConnell’s statement. He said - in a “presidential” election year. [/quote] You reap what you sow. [/quote] Such a profound, thoughtful post that adds so much to the discussion. (Try again). [/quote] How about "scorched earth is bad politics"? Yeah, that doesn't add much either, I guess.[/quote]
