We won't even know who President Donald Trump's pick to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court will be until late this week, but we know now for (almost) certain that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) has the votes to confirm the pick to the court. The last 72 hours have made that much clear. On Tuesday morning, Utah Sen. Mitt Romney announced that he supports a vote on Trump's nominee. "I intend to follow the Constitution and precedent in considering the President's nominee," he said in a statement. "If the nominee reaches the Senate floor, I intend to vote based upon their qualifications."

Romney's decision comes two days after retiring Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander announced that he supported a vote on Trump's eventual nominee before the election, eliminating perhaps the single most likely GOPer to join Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine in opposition to confirming a Supreme Court justice this close to a presidential election. Then, on Monday, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, who is an underdog for a second term this November, said that he too backed a vote before the election. As did Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa who had, in the past, expressed significant reservations about trying to confirm a justice in the waning days of an election. And with those critical dominoes, any experienced vote-counter can see the writing on the wall: This nomination is going to go through -- and McConnell is going to win.

Damn. A non-Fox News source is saying Mitch has the votes and he is gonna win.

Well, yeah

It didn't seem like that when I checked around a couple days ago. People were saying Romney was against it. But I guess people were getting their hopes up that someone from opposite party would do what they want.

Anyone who had hopes that Republicans would "vote their conscience" after the last 10 years hasn't been paying attention.

No. Senate voting is local. You can only remove the GOP Senator in your state. If you have one.

America is fucked unless democrats can have the balls to force significant change through if they win enough in the election. They 100% have to entirely drop the compromise act and push through change if they remotely care about the future of America not sliding backwards several decades.

Good luck to all you Americans, you're gonna need it.

Trump replacing RBG with a stooge is the equivalent to Thanos getting the last Infinity Stone. He'll be unstoppable and half of us will die. (He'll declare face masks illegal and let Coronavirus do the work. Calling it now.)

Pennsylvania is the equivalent to Thanos' head. Hillary should have gone for it.
