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!

He won't need 60 votes.

lol lol lol

If Grassley and McConnell hold Garland hearings in the lame duck, especially if there is an incoming President Hillary Clinton and Democratic Senate in 2017, it will be the height of hypocrisy.

They have preposterously held up Garland's nomination for a year under the lie that because it is a presidential election year, the "people" should decide.  If they try to confirm him in the lame duck, what happened to the people deciding?  Shouldn't the incoming President and Senate that the people voted in handle it instead?  If this comes to pass, they should be blasted for such bull$h!t.

You're correct of course, but are there actually any people who didn't see through this lie from day one? Anyone at all?
