Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Thursday that Democrats are considering procedural moves to force a vote on Merrick Garland, President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee.

 

"We have a couple of options and we're deciding when to do that — and if we should do that," Reid told reporters on a conference call.

 

The Democratic leader said Republicans have "one last shot" to act on Judge Merrick Garland's nomination to the Supreme Court when Congress returns to the nation's capital in September. Lawmakers are currently back in their home states for a seven-week recess.

Look for Trump's buddy Mitch McConnell to cave on the issue.

Reid, Pelosi, McConnel and McCain...get them the heck out of office!! Good grief; McConnel is the youngest at 74 years of age, followed by Reid and Pelosi both 76 years of age and McCain the oldest at 79.  Do this country a favor and retire already!

It's not like the need the darn money!

Reid  -- estimated net worth $10 million
Pelosi --      "         "      "     $58 million
McConnel    "         "      "      $22.8 million
McCain        "         "      "      $21 million
