Sen. Jeff Flake: Hillary's going to be President, let's confirm Garland

[Hammy]

If Clinton wins, Obama needs to hold the Republicans to their word--let the next president pick the judge. If they fail to do so then they can kiss their congressional control goodbye in the midterms.

It doesn't work like that, sorry.

I don't think the people will put up with two years of a partially functioning court--the GOP tends to do better in midterms because of turnout and I think this could be used to motivate Democrats to show up.

We can have a vote after the election, but he won't get 60 votes.  I would draw a line in the sand on confirming any justices who support Roe or trangender bathrooms or go against religious liberty.  The Senate has just as many rights in this process as the president!

This sort of thought is exactly why I quit voting Republican.
