WASHINGTON - U.S. Republican Senator Cory Gardner said on Monday he would vote for a “qualified nominee” to the Supreme Court, suggesting he is not in favor of waiting for the winner of the Nov. 3 presidential election to name a replacement for the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. “I have and will continue to support judicial nominees who will protect our Constitution, not legislate from the bench, and uphold the law,” Gardner said in a statement. “Should a qualified nominee who meets this criteria be put forward, I will vote to confirm.”
G’bye Mr. Gardner.
...unless it's a qualified candidate named Merrick Garland, that is.
Well howdy doody about that. No guts no glory there. He is not about to vote for an 'unqualified' candidate. Glad we got that cleared up. Many will argue that Trump's flunky nominees are not 'well' qualified to serve on the Highest Court of the Land for the next 30-odd years.
Good Boi

‘No proposals’ from Senate Democrats to expand the Supreme Court, says Sen. Dick DurbinDemocratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois says Senate Democrats are hoping four Republicans will side with them over the “rank hypocrisy” of voting on Trump’s Supreme Court nominee before the election. I don’t get the hypocrisy argument - this is the type of thing that both parties have taken both sides on through history. Sadly, Sen Dubin is dreaming. There are not four Reep senators who care that they're hypocrites. Like realDonaldTrump, LindseyGrahamSC and MoscowMitch, they are incapable of feeling shame. They don't care what voters think. They care only about power & minority rule. if repubs could vote secretly there’d be a different outcome but no one has any spine or morals to go outside the party to go against trump publicly. they’ve literally put party over country.
