The sooner, the better!
USCapitol via Wikimedia CommonsDespite what liberals would have you believe nothing in the Constitution prevents a Supreme Court justice from being confirmed in an election year, and there’s more than enough time to act. There are 43 days until Election Day. The Senate confirmed Justice John Paul Stevens in 19 days, Sandra Day O’Connor in 33, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 42.
Here’s where the most vulnerable Senate Republicans stand on President Trump’s intention to have a vote before the election.
Susan Collins: No
Gage Skidmore from Peoria, AZ, United States of America via Wikimedia CommonsSen. Collins (R-ME) said that not only should there not be a vote but that the next president, whether it’s Trump or Biden, should select Ginsburg’s replacement.
Polls indicate Collins is trailing in Maine’s U.S. Senate race.
Martha McSally: Yes
Gage Skidmore from Peoria, AZ, United States of America via Wikimedia CommonsSen. McSally (R-AZ) said there should be a vote as soon as possible. She certainly knows that the Republican Party has a history of successfully rallying the base on this issue. Making her opinion known will help her in her challenging fight for reelection.
Cory Gardner: Not Confirmed
Gage Skidmore from Peoria, AZ, United States of America via Wikimedia CommonsSen. Gardner (R-CO) has not revealed where he stands on voting on a Supreme Court nominee before the election. His race is considered a toss-up.
Lisa Murkowski: No
United States Senate – Office of Lisa Murkowski via Wikimedia CommonsSen. Murkowski (R-AK) won’t vote to approve a Supreme Court justice until after the election. Though she’s not up for reelection, her opposition is noteworthy, as Republicans could only lose two more votes. Murkowski previously voted against the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh.
Thom Tillis: Yes
Jackson A. Lanier via Wikimedia CommonsSen. Tillis (R-NC) faces an uncertain future against a robust Democrat challenger. But he’s eager to confirm Justice Ginsburg’s replacement, which he hopes will motivate North Carolina Republicans and independents to come out and vote for him.
Kelly Loeffler: Yes
U.S. Department of Agriculture via Wikimedia CommonsSen, Loeffler (R-GA), another Republican in a competitive race, is committed to fulfilling President Trump’s wishes, tweeting that “the future of our country is at stake.”

Help President Trump Stop Joe Biden [ACT NOW]
So far there are 2 of that number who don’t want to remain in the Senate, Collins and Murkowski. Let’s see if Gardner wants to join them on the sidelines.
I agree, Collins & Murkowski & Gardner claim to be Republicans so they are either with us or against! If they are against us, let’s replace them along with Anyone else on the fence!
I’d like to see them gone – never trusted any of them.
Collins and Murkowski have been traitors to the Republican Party ever since Trump was elected. They may as well call themselves Socialistic Democrats or even out and out Communists. And yet they have the gall to ask for donations from me for their re-election. They can go suck an egg before they get a cent from me and many other true Republicans.
True enough. However, they still claim to be Republicans and allow the Republicans to have a majority. Without them, the Rs would be in deep dodo.
These two are so politically inept that they cannot recognize a political coup attempt to overthrow the U.S. Government. I can assure you that after serving the U.S. Government of over 11 years in Latin America I know a Coup d’état when I see one and this is, however, unbelievable to many Americans, exactly what is happening in the U.S. today.
Absolutely
I receive texts and emails from Sen Collins daily. I will not donate to anyone who acts like a Demorat every day, obstructs our President, acts like she hates America, then at election time claims to be a Republican? I have sent this exact response to her texts and emails. Apparently nobody is reading my responses. She must be eating the yellow snow.
Susan Collins does not belong in the Senate. Such a weak person is not a leader. Republican or Democrat, she is best gone!
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) will probably lose her primary in two years. She is not conservative on issues that are important. She is a best a FAKE Republican. Good she is gone!
Thom Tillis is a winner. He will stay in the Senate!
These two worthless,incompetent, rinos need to be primaried, they are more dummycraps than repukes, time to get rid of all rinos, if they can’t get with the dam plan. Be with us or get out, we don’t need ant more rinos, in the freedom party.
I just sent Collins an email ripping her up as the attention-grabbing obstructionist that she is. Murky is next. Maybe we all ought to do the same. Google their emails and tell them to vote with the rest of their party, and stop acting like McCain, or leave and go Democrat.
Collins & Murkowski are not real Republicans, they are like a trojan horse and are Demorats inside. If they were real Republicans, they would be PROUD to have President Trump as a leader and would encourage him to pick a good judge that will help shape our country back to a GREAT USA. What is wrong with them.
I am so upset that so many Republicans over the past three and a half years have not sided with President Trump, the President that “WE THE PEOPLE” elected. Get with it all republicans or get out and let good Republicans take your jobs that
wants America to be great again!!!
The President needs to skip all hearings and go directly to the swearing-in of the new Conservative Judge into the Supreme Court.
The Constitution requires Senate confirmation.
Yes! The sooner the better is right 100%.
She is a RINO and should change that R to a D she votes with the Dems. She should thank about how this will effect her in two more years for her reelection. It seams that she is against the American people not for them.
2 many RINOs effect OUR Future, purge House & Senate
I say Trump needs to go ahead and fill the position.
The Constitution grants the President the power to nominate. It does not place in restrictions based on time remaining in office. Or any restrictions at all for that matter.
Any republican that votes against the Trump nominee, is through in politics and I would not want to be the scum bag that voted for a anti gun judge.
Is Collins really the least stinky turd in the pile that the ME electorate has to choose from? And Alaska should simply be ashamed of themselves for allowing Murkowski to continue to infest their government.
Stop the B.S. and unleash the nuclear option and move on. We have a elected President, we have a Senate in place that was also elected and they have a responsibility, under our Constitution, to do their duty (for a change) and these rinos that usually screw over our country because of their beliefs should be removed for failing to do their respective jobs. When you talk about the swamp creatures, these are just what they look like.
If it did get delayed it looks like John James might replace Peters in Michigan.
He is trump supporter all the way.
