“Everyone in the United States Senate who’s going to vote on this knows that it will change the balance of power. So you’re not just voting on whether Trump should have his nominee. You’re voting on whether that nominee is going to change precedent when it comes to whole host of issues.”Never mind that this is exactly what every election, and the SCOTUS nominating process, are supposed to accomplish. If Democrats had nominated a better 2016 candidate, we’d be watching the court shift to the left. It’s the way the system was designed to function. Dems can’t tolerate the idea that things aren’t going their way, so they’re trying to do what they always do: frighten people. Leftists need to keep their voters in a state of constant worry. Their already-waning power is based in fear, and they don’t want to see their influence further erode. So, Cantwell rattles off the usual list of Democrat scare tactics regarding abortion and healthcare, before lowering the boom on her fellow Senators.
“My colleagues on both sides of the aisle know that this vote could be one of the key votes of their entire career. If they vote for somebody who’s going to change precedent, it could be a career-ending move.”In other words: We’re watching. If you fail to vote the way the party tells you, you’re going to find yourself on the outside looking in. …It would be a real shame if we had to ruin you over this.
