He has absolutely not been consistent. For example, here's the Washington Post claiming he did "a 180" on the issue: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/05/29/oh-wed-fill-it-how-mcconnell-is-doing-supreme-court-vacancies-an-election-year/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/05/29/oh-wed-fi... > It's happening whether we like it or not, and there's no "precedent" we can appeal to in order to stop it. Again, you're responding to some point I haven't made. I'm not claiming there's any way to stop it, I'm claiming McConnell is a man without honor or even decency and that the United States is headed into the toilet.

> I'm claiming McConnell is a man without honor or even decency and that the United States is headed into the toilet. Sure, but it doesn't really matter. The issue is whether or not McConnell can confirm a Trump nomination this year, and he absolutely can.

  I don't know why this is confusing to you. Absolutely no one says he can't. To quote a great comment: > McConnell had serious doubts that Obama’s nominee, Merrick Garland, would _fail_ to get a majority in the senate, so he forbade the nomination to come to a vote. So it’s a little different than you pose: you a pretending that Obama’s nomination came to a vote and lost (which would be entirely legitimate). The majority leader prevented that from even happening.

    Where did he say he has serious doubts?
