Trump says he wants Supreme Court nominee ‘who’s going to get approved’

By Shane Goldmacher

01/27/17 05:01 PM EST

President Donald Trump said Friday that one of his top factors in filling the current Supreme Court vacancy is “who’s going to get approved” — a remark that represents a bad sign for 11th Circuit Judge Bill Pryor, one of the finalists whose chances are widely seen as fading in the selection process.

Pryor only narrowly received Senate confirmation to the appeals court a decade ago, by a 53-45 vote.

The two other leading finalists, 3rd Circuit Judge Thomas Hardiman and 10th Circuit Judge Neil Gorsuch, were approved 95-0 and in a voice vote, respectively, by the Senate.

  Unless Mitch pulls the 'nuclear option', which he already said he won't, this is the only judge the Senate rats will agree on.

No, no, no, no, no….

THIS is the SCOTUS nominee that McConnell, the feckless GOP Senate and the Democrats will all agree on:

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
