Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) on Tuesday threw his support behind a floor vote on President Trump’s nominee to fill the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat.
Romney’s announcement signals that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has enough votes to proceed with his controversial move to consider Trump’s Supreme Court pick just weeks ahead of the November presidential election. The Utah senator’s support of a floor vote comes on the heels of two more key GOP senators, Sens. Cory Gardner (R-CO) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA), backing a vote.
In a statement released Tuesday, Romney said that his decision is “based on the immutable fairness of following the law, which in this case is the Constitution and precedent” and that if the nominee reaches the Senate floor, he “intend(s) to vote based upon their qualifications.”

Shocking news as doctors confirm Romney has no spine.

May he rot in whatever underworld the Mormons believe in
Once again, they leave us with no choice but to add seats to the SCOTUS. It is the only option.
It always amazes me, that a republican shows his true colors for 30+ years, then does his job just once…not a grand gesture, he simply asks to see the evidence at a trial…and half of the liberal world will declare him a Messiah and a decent man. And then be truly shocked when he, you know, continues to show his true colors.
