CORRECTION: SENATOR MITT ROMNEY JUST CAME OUT TO SAY HE WILL SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT’S DECISION TO NOMINATE A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE:
Democrats are all in ‘Code Red’ mode and even forgetting to give condolences to the family of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Senator Chuck Schumer tweeted out a warning that there should be no vote for a Supreme Court Justice until we elect a new president:
The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.
— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) September 18, 2020
Not even a ‘Rest in Peace’ for Justice Ginsburg but a firm push to stop the normal process of nominating and voting on a new Justice before the 2020 election.
The left is even calling for insurrection if they don’t get their way:
They are openly calling for insurrection if the Senate follows the Constitution https://t.co/YtdgwDh9Kd

Of course, some cowardly Republican Senators have already caved to say they won’t vote until the election.

Romney has reportedly said he wouldn’t vote until after the election:
Romney hates and abuses the pro-life movement. This is nothing short of a complete betrayal of those who defend preborn children. https://t.co/kA8q8lgfvM

And Lisa Murkowski is predictably not voting:
Shortly before the announcement that Ruth Bader Ginsburg had died, Sen. Lisa Murkowski said in an interview with Alaska Public Media: "I would not vote to confirm a Supreme Court nominee. We are 50 some days away from an election." https://t.co/sHWUhqff1U

Senate Leader Mitch McConnell had this to say about a vote: “President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”
