Mitch got Himself an 8 Ball

When Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed on Friday, we assumed Mitch McConnell would huddle with the senate GOP over the weekend, take a vote count, and announce plans on Monday. Nope. McConnell announced that evening that the Senate would vote on the president's SCOTUS nominee. 

That was fast.

This blog doesn't mean to let anybody down. We know the Dems are hoping for a long drawn out SCOTUS siege with bands of the leftist undead roaming Capitol Hill, Blue Check Marks tweeting their rage, MSNBC hosts breaking down on camera, etc...etc. We expect all that to happen and we look forward to enjoying their pain.

But it will be all for naught.

McConnell has certainly been wargaming this scenario for months. He's consulted with each GOP senator and already knows exactly where they stand. The vote has been whipped, and McConnell already has the votes to see a nominee through or he wouldn't have pledged to hold a vote.

Cocaine Mitch confirms judges and snorts long lines of Colombian white and he's all out of Colombian white.
