Remember this is what he's saying NOW... if Hillary wins and we get a Democratic Senate, he'll probably change his tune.

I can't believe McConnell called Garland the most liberal judge in history on MTP, though.

He said that? You have to be kidding... right? Maybe a misinterpretation...?

I know McConnell is some of the worst lying, heartless scum the GOP has to offer, but my god, that is a new low for him. One I never thought he could reach, even after the past 7 years.

Yeah, in response to a question by Chuck Todd on "if Hillary wins and Democrats take the Senate, they'll probably nominate a more liberal justice" and McConnell's response was that it's not possible to get more liberal than Merrick Garland.

Damn, not McConnell is saying he'll only allow a vote on a Supreme Court Justice ... if ... he/she  has been approved by the NRA.

Really?

That's saying you'd keep blocking the nomination even if a Democrat does win.
