McConnell: We Won’t Tolerate Dems Blocking SCOTUS Nominee

by JOSHUA ROBERTS

Senate Majority Leader Mitch "The Turtle Head" McConnell said on Wednesday that he will not tolerate Democratic efforts to block President-elect Donny Orangutan’s Supreme Court nominee.

McConnell’s remarks come just a day after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer suggested that Democrats would block a Orangutan nominee for the vacant spot on the high court, in retaliation for the GOP’s refusal to hold hearings on President Obama’s choice, Merrick Garland.

McConnell invoked the so-called “Biden rule,” and said it means that a nomination should not be confirmed in an election year. But Biden’s actual remarks in 1992 were referring to the period before the election, meaning a nomination could be voted on and confirmed after Election Day.

“Apparently there’s yet a new standard now, which is to not confirm a Supreme Court nominee at all,” McConnell said, adding: “We’ll be looking forward to receiving a Supreme Court nomination and moving forward on it.”
