So now the real question is whether McCain, Corker and Flake try to prevent the vote on a replacement out of their hatred for Trump.  One would think they would want to take this accomplishment of having put in a second SCOTUS justice would outweigh their TDS but I am not optimistic.  Here's hoping they care more for our country than their petty disagreements with the president.  I am not entirely optimistic.  The one thing going for us is that it seems highly unlikely they will lose the Senate and may actually add some seats so these guys will have lost their chance to be a part of history.  That alone could motivate them.

And I can't wait for the hypocritical howling from the left about needing 60 votes.  Sorry folks, but Harry Reid road that train from the station a while ago.  We predicted they would regret that decision and am glad the GOP had the guts to make them pay for their decision.  If we get another Gorsuch they will wailing and gnashing their teeth and beating their breasts.  And when Trump wins another term and the GOP holds onto the Senate in 2020 they will really be praying that Ginsburg can outlive his second term.
