McConnell: Senate to confirm Kavanaugh by Oct. 1
By Jordain Carney - 07/13/18 06:32 PM EDT

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Friday that he expects the Senate to vote on Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination before the Court starts its next term.

"The timetable typically for recent Supreme Court justices, if we stuck to that timetable and I intend to, would give us an opportunity to get this new justice on the court by the first of October," McConnell told reporters in Kentucky on Friday.

The timeline lines up with a similar estimate the GOP leader made late last month before President Trump named Kavanaugh as his pick.

Kavanaugh is making his rounds on Capitol Hill as he works to lock down the simple majority support he'll need to be confirmed as Justice Anthony Kennedy's successor on the high court.

Let's do it soon.

That 4/4 split on the court for the next few months will be awful.

It means every shoddy decision by the Ninth and Sixth Circuses would be allowed to stand.
