McConnell will agree now but as soon as his judge is appointed, all agreements will be off.

Biden like Obama before him bent over backwards to appease the republicans. When republicans are in power, they kiss the democrats in the a$$ and never give them anything.

The democrats are awful at politics, the republicans are awful for America.

First of all, people should realize that federal non-scotus judicial nominations are little more than a form of currency on the hill - routinely used by all senators as grease to get other deals done. McConnell very much plays at that game (see, e.g., Amul Thapar, who is actually a hell of a judge).

But with that said, this conspiracy theory is taking it to new levels that strain credibility. Unless said "deal" that won't be blocked contemplates, say, restrictions and/or prohibitions akin to about where we are now (e.g., a la MS), I would definitely call BS on this.

Oh, the story is posted on Jezebel...then it must be true. (But to be clear, I totally get why The Devil frequents the site.)
