Four cancers. All at the same time. Pancreatic cancer was the one
that finally did her in. Surprised she lasted as long as she did.

Not for Moscow Mitch.

Trump will nominate a new justice.
Moscow Mitch will grant him/her a hearing,
and a vote. The only question being will
this be before, or after, the election.

Remember what Moscow Mitch did in 2016.
He invoked "The Biden Rule" - a rule of
his own creation. Said he would not allow
the president to seat a new justice on
the USSC during an election year. Why?
Because "the American people" had to have
a say. Remember, it was an election year.

Well, guess what? This is 2020. Another
election year. Do you think Moscow Mitch
is going to invoke his own made-up rule
in order to deny his own president the
right to nominate a justice to the USSC?

Not gonna happen, my man.

Moscow Mitch is a hypocrite. Just like
his president, and fellow Republicans.
