October 20, 2016 - "I promise you that we will be united against any Supreme Court nominee that Hillary Clinton, if she were president, would put up,” Senator John McCain said on a radio interview in Pennsylvania on Monday. “I promise you. This is where we need the majority.”
So John McCain, in his 28th year in the Senate, is promising an even more extreme version of the nihilistic politics practiced by congressional Republicans since Barack Obama took the oath of office.
McCain’s contempt for the electoral process was revealed by his shameless gamble to select Sarah Palin as his running mate in 2008. By that time he’d run in 11 primary and general elections for the U.S. House seat he held until 1986 and the Senate seat he’s struggling to hold onto today.
The promise to block any Hillary Clinton nominee to the court is a new low, even for John McCain.
Writing in ThinkProgress, Ian Millhiser described the Arizona Senator’s statement as “an existential threat to the Supreme Court.”
By implying that only Republicans can confirm Supreme Court justices, McCain turns judges into party functionaries."
