The Senate is taking America for one last turbulent ride before the election.
President Donald Trump’s Saturday announcement of his Supreme Court pick will spark a lightning-quick confirmation attempt by Senate Republicans that now seems almost certain to occur before the election.

Lindsey needs some facetime as he is an election battle.
He might win if he shows his grit here.

Lady Lindsey damn sure has the mental ability to back them up against a wall,and since he needs to cover his ass with the Republicans gaining power again,it wouldn't surprise me if he does just that.

This is being discussed openly a lot in public media and will likely happen.

I agree, nothing in the Constitution, requires hearings.
