So Have Any Repugs Said They Will Hold Up All Trump Judicial Appointments....

especially SCOTUS until Mueller files his report and Trump is either found guilty or exonerated?

We can't let this illegitimate treasonous so-called president make judicial appointments if he is beholden to Putin and the Russians. The Repugs should understand that - right?

But I don't think we'll see the Repugs do that because they are walking lock step with Trump. They've been carry Trump's water for him since day 1 of his winning the Repug nomination.

Additional Thoughts:

Somebody needs to get McConnell on record about the SCOTUS appointment. We all know if the shoe were on the other foot - McConnell would be making the most noise to stop any SCOTUS appointment of a Dem president. Look what he did to Obama on his rightful SCOTUS appointment.

Someone needs to get a statement from McConnell regarding this SCOTUS appointment. We need to see what McConnell is made of.

Regardless of what happens with trump, his court nominees are basically all Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation sourced. Trump didn't pick these guys himself, they gave him a list of already pre-approved and vetted right wing judges. They have the chance to skew the Federal court system and SCOTUS to the right for decades, I doubt anything is going to prevent them from doing that.

not the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation judges.

I'm sorry - there should be no appointment of new judges - given Trump's performance today - looking like a Russian agent.

We need Mueller to release a report and if somehow Trump makes it through Mueller's findings then they could go ahead and make appointments again.

Given the recent Russian indictments for hacking/interference - we can't give Trump the right to appoint judges - particularly for SCOTUS - that will be with us for decades.

If the Repugs go ahead and not stop Trump here - then we know that they are complicit and colluding along with Trump.
