Rush Limbaugh encourages Senate to skip hearings for Trump's SCOTUS nominee

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh urged Senate Republicans to skip the confirmation hearing process for President Trump's soon-to-be announced Supreme Court nominee and head straight to a floor vote.

"I want the Judiciary Committee - that could be great if it were skipped," Limbaugh said Monday on his daily radio program. "We don't need to open that up for whatever length of time, so that whoever this nominee is can be Kavanaugh'd, or Borked, or Thomas'd. Because that's what it's going to be, especially when it's not even required."

This idea has been floated around since the passing of RBG. Just go straight to a vote if Barrett is nominated due to the fact that she already had confirmation hearings in the senate.

Almost 500,000 members in the #WalkAway Campaign FB group, and every testimonial by a former Democrat features the phrase "Then I started to do research."

But too many are still violently allergic to facts and logic.

Misinformed and addicted to Kool-aid is no way to go through life, young man.

Interesting in its cowardice and failure to even pretend to follow due process and show appropriate respect for the Supreme Court. 

Show me in The Constitution where "hearings" are required to replace a Justice on the Supreme Court...........

The Constitution actually left it open for Congress to develop, and in the 20th century they did so. What is Rush and the GOP afraid of? That someone would be thoroughly vetted as to their qualifications and their legal stances and found to be lacking? Everyone knows that they are trying to push through this Barrett, so that they can make a move on Roe V. Wade and a half dozen other 'social issues' can be dealt with, including repealing the ACA.

I see no way it happens.  But what would a repeal of Roe/Wade look like?  Would it have any effect on the abortions in blue states?

A repeal of that abomination would leave it up to the individual states, as was intended by the authors of the Constitution for issues not addressed directly.........

So the ones doing the most baby killing would still get to keep killing just like normal?  Then why is the left so worried if it gets repealed?  It isn't like it will make abortions illegal.  You just might have to drive over to the next state to kill your unborn child.  Seems like if you are that committed to murder your baby, a short drive wouldn't be that much of a deterrent.

So are you saying she wasn't thoroughly vetted in 2017 for the 7th circuit?
