Romney Backs Vote on Supreme Court Nominee, Locking Up Votes for GOP Davis ## Reporter 09/22/20 (Tue) 14:42:59 55ce89 No.266205

Senate Republicans appear to have locked up the votes needed to take up a Supreme Court nominee this year after Sen. Mitt Romney announced Tuesday he backs the move.

“I intend to follow the Constitution and precedent in considering the president’s nominee," Romney, a Utah Republican, said in a statement. "If the nominee reaches the Senate floor, I intend to vote based upon their qualifications."

Romney's support means Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell won't need a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Mike Pence to advance a nominee to the floor.

Republicans Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska said they do not back voting on a Supreme Court nominee so close to the Nov. 3 election.

But Republicans control 53 votes and can advance a nominee without Collins and Murkowski.

Romney was the last known holdout among Senate Republicans weighing whether to advance a nominee.

President Trump said he'd make an announcement about his pick by this weekend, and McConnell said he would bring the nominee to the floor for a vote this year, although he did not say whether it would occur before or after the election.

Honestly, seeing the histerical reaction from the dems, they should vote the next SCOTUS ASAP, and after november, pack the SCOTUS with 10 more judges.
