McConnell: Dems Would Object to Whomever Was Nominated for SCOTUS

‘If it hadn’t been one argument, it would be another’

EXCERPT:

McCONNELL: "Well, it’s not the justice's drop to play favorites. It's to call the balls and strikes. You get a case argued before you. You see it as relevant precedent. There is no indication he is not someone who would follow precedent. The Democrats are going to object to whoever was appointed. If it hadn’t been one argument, it would be another. The House won’t have any involvement in this. This will be a Senate issue. We are involved in confirming Supreme Court justices. A number of Democrats have already indicated tonight that they don’t think filibustering this judge is a good idea. I think that is an encouraging side that there are enough Democrats with an open mind to judge this nominee on the merits."
