“The rule is that the Senate majority rules in this matter. British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli put it succinctly in the 19th century: “A majority is always better than the best repartee.” Talk all you want, but 51 votes decides.” 2

So expect a nominee quickly (Monday?) and hearings in a week or two chaired by @LindseyGrahamSC Democrats are threatening to do things they have already threatened to do —end legislative filibuster, “pack” the Supreme Court. But they’ve already committed to doing those things. 3
When Harry Reid used the nuclear option to end the filibuster for nominees he changed the Senate. He did so over GOP warnings. Now GOP has the majority and @senatemajldr and must take seriously threats made by Ds before Justice RBG died. Seriously, can people not see this? 4
The Left wants the center-right to roll over and play by the Left’s rules. The center-right wants the GOP to play by the Constitution’s rules and no other. Which means a qualified nominee will be seated on #SCOTUS before the first case involving 2020 election is heard.
