McConnell: No vote on Scalia replacement under Obama. We'll see. I don't have a lot of faith in GOP leadership based on their history of folding like cheap suits with this administration. Hopefully they understand that this is the hill to die on. Of course, here's the talk of government shutdown.
if McConnell declines to put Obama's nomination on the floor for a vote, it likely would create gridlock for the remainder of the legislative year because angry Democrats would block the passage of other bills.
"Democrats will most likely try to shut everything down in protest," Bonjean said.
Democratic filibusters would interfere with McConnell's goal of passing bipartisan bills that demonstrate to voters that a GOP majority in Congress can get things done.
Is it wrong that I'm fine with that? I'm tired of a GOP congress passing stuff just to say that got things done. All they've done is pass Obama's stuff for peanuts in return.
