paisley, It's the Senate that confirms Justices. McConnell would have had a true rebellion on his hands if he'd have allowed hearings. Intentionally turning the Supreme Court liberal would have been the end of him. Politically it would have been a truly untenable position no matter how much pressure obama put on him.

If someone with two brain cells ever runs against Ol Mitch he is a goner anyway, last election was a younger version of Hillary running against him. |

Add in that there is no requirement mandating that the supreme court operate with less than 9.

I have no opinion about the nature of his death, but my old friend that I found after he died (unattended) never got a full autopsy, either, but they pulled blood samples, which is all they need to diagnose stuff like heart attack.....Joe
