McConnell pledges to work with Democratic president on Supreme Court vacancy
By Alexander Bolton - 06/27/19 03:37 PM EDT

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) says he would give a new Democratic president’s nominee to the Supreme Court a hearing and vote in 2021, but isn’t making any promises that person would win confirmation in a GOP-controlled Senate.

McConnell noted that two of President Richard Nixon’s Supreme Court nominees failed to pass the Senate and warned the same fate could befall a newly elected Democratic president if he or she nominated someone Republicans considered too far to the left.

“A lot of it depends on the timing of the vacancy. Obviously if you have a vacancy in the first year of a term of a president, you’re not going to fail to fill that vacancy for a very lengthy period of time, no matter what the political composition is,” McConnell told reporters.

??? Sounds like he already throwing in the towel and assuming a DEM victory in 2020.  Great.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Sound like the turtle was simply responding to hypothetical questions and the reporter already knew what he wanted to write before the turtle answered him.

I'm no fan of Mr. Chao (regardless of the dumplings), but I think that you have it right.
