"The Constitution allows it, therefore it's ok" appears to be the main GOP argument for why they should confirm Trump's nominee.

Remember this next year if Dems eliminate filibuster, add DC/PR as states and/or add justices to the Court.
Constitution allows these too.
Mitt Romney's position is that Donald Trump is a corrupt President guilty of high crimes worthy of removal AND he should make a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court moments before the voters weigh in on who should be President.

Totally logical and morally consistent
The president of the United States is trailing in the polls, can’t possibly win the popular vote, and wants to install a judge who supports him to the highest court in the land in order to help guarantee his re-election.

What would you call this if you saw it another country?
The fear has always been that autocratic monsters would pack the courts and then secretly ask them to help steal an election. Now this dingdong is just flat-out telling people that's what he's doing. He's the dumbest autocrat ever. And it's working! https://t.co/0BG6gqFwlC

We should stop wringing our hands about Republican "hypocrisy." Stop being surprised. This is about power. They are a new version of Confederates, secessionists without seceding, destroyers of the Union they want to own. VOTE.

Forewarned is forearmed.
