Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), during a speech on the Senate floor Monday, debunked the Democrat “myth” that there is not sufficient time to examine and confirm a Supreme Court nominee prior to the presidential election, contending that “history and precedent make that perfectly clear.”

Speaking from the Senate floor on Monday, McConnell railed against what he called the left’s “pre-vacancy” threats and moved to debunk the widespread narrative that the Senate does not have sufficient time to consider and confirm President Trump’s forthcoming Supreme Court nominee.

“We’re already hearing incorrect claims that there is not sufficient time to examine and confirm a nominee. We can debunk this myth in about 30 seconds,” the Kentucky lawmaker said, citing a handful of examples.

“As of today, there are 43 days until November 3 and 104 days until the end of this Congress. The late, iconic Justice John Paul Stevens was confirmed by the Senate 19 days after this body formally received his nomination — 19 days from start to finish,” he began:

Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, another iconic jurist, was confirmed 33 days after her nomination. For the late-Justice Ginsburg herself, it was just 42 days. Justice Stevens’ entire confirmation process could have been played out twice, twice, between now and November 3 with time to spare. And Justice Ginsburg herself could have been confirmed twice between now and the end of the year with time to spare.

Trump needs to put forth a nomination within a couple of days.

In December 1864, Lincoln nominated Salmon P. Chase to the Supreme Court.
The Senate confirmed Mr. Chase THE SAME DAY.

The month of October is PLENTY ENOUGH time to conduct perhaps two days of hearings, and then hold a Senate confirmation vote before November 3rd.

Just do it.
Because... we can.

No need for hearings, Barrett and Lago have both recently undergone them. Put up the names, inform the RINO's that they are free to abstain, but a "No" vote will result in them being removed from all committees, no money for re-election and a guarantee that they will be primaried out, the next time they are up.
