McConnell won't rule out blocking possible Biden SCOTUS nominees
It's difficult to say with any confidence when or whether there might be a vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court. But it's hardly a stretch to imagine such a scenario during President Joe Biden's term.
With Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in control of the chamber, it's likely that a nominee from a Democratic White House would be treated fairly and confirmed. But what if Schumer is replaced by Mitch McConnell? Politico asked the Kentucky Republican about the possibility yesterday.
If Democrats lose one seat or more next year and there's a Supreme Court vacancy under divided government, would McConnell again mount a blockade? "Cross those bridges when I get there, we are focusing on '22," McConnell said. "I don't rule anything in or out about how to handle nominations if I'm in the majority position."
Or put another way, maybe the Senate GOP leader would block the president's Supreme Court nominee, regardless or merit or qualifications, or maybe not. McConnell prefers to keep us in suspense, keeping his options open.

Would you expect the guy to act any other way?

It's stupid for the press to engage in any mental m*sturbation about it.
