Mitch explains his non-political Supreme Court nominee strategy.

While watching the Sunday morning news talk shows, I kept running into Mitch McConnell being questioned about his senate plan to ignore President Obama’s  nominee for the Supreme Court.

He held to the idea that the Senate would wait for the will of the people, and kept slipping into double speak when it was pointed out that the people had expressed our will twice by electing President Obama to two full terms in office.

Watching his attempts to dance around that was like watching Ralph Kramden attempt to explain his latest failed scheme to Alice.

There was more “Humminah, humminnah, humminah” that actual words.

But his basic explanation was that they would wait to see if one of theirs was elected president, and if not, they would come up with a new plan.

Then he gave away that this plan was not based on principle, but politics, when he admitted that if Hillary won, they might have to deal with and probably confirm the nominee before she took the oath of office, obviously to ensure one of her first acts was not to nominate a Justice.

In an apparent lack of grasp of irony, he did admit that he did not want to have the Court turn closer to the liberal side, although he really wanted to tum it to the conservative side.

So it was not about what was in the best interest of all the people, but to that of a certain ideology.

But then, when he got on Fox News Sunday, he revealed another motivation for the delay.

“I can’t imagine that a Republican majority in the United States Senate would want to confirm, in a lame duck session, a nominee opposed by the National Rifle Association and the National Federation of Independent Businesses.”

We saw where his loyalties lie.

He then back to what he had said on the other shows when he added that he doesn’t think the Senate “would want to confirm a judge that would move the court dramatically to the left. That’s not gonna happen.”

Most people are familiar with how cozy the NRA is with the GOP, but may may not remember that the NFIB has fought hard against both the Affordable Care Act, and raising the minimum wage.

I should also mention that he did not approve of what he saw as the politicization of the Supreme Court nomination process.
