Maybe a hearing. But he isn't getting the necessary 60 votes on the floor.

I voted no to both, but it's tough to predict what will happen if Clinton wins in November.

It's weird how unconcerned the senate GOP is about getting a 45 year old liberal Scalia next winter with a Trump nomination.

I'm not sure that someone like Liu could be confirmed even if Dems take back the Senate. There are a handful of red state Dems (Donnelly, Manchin, McCaskill, Tester, Heitkamp) who might vote against a really liberal nominee.

Yeah, especially with the 60 vote rule still in effect for SCOTUS nominations. There is literally no scenario in which Republicans won't filibuster.

^^ Obama would disagree, he wants the legacy of making the court majority-liberal. Plus, the next president might get to replace Kennedy.

David Vitter says no Obama nominee should get a hearing.

That's rich, David. You lost the governorship to a Democrat in an overwhelmingly red state. Find a pair of diapers you like to put on and go take a seat.

Vitter is retiring, he has no reason to pretend to be moderate.
