Dem Senator Accidentally Reveals Two-Year Plan To Keep SCOTUS Seat Vacant

Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) may have accidentally revealed the Democrats’ long-term plan for the vacant Supreme Court seat, if Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination is somehow derailed: they plan to oppose any attempt to fill it until after the 2020 presidential election.

Hirono gave a lengthy interview to media Tuesday, according to The Washington Free Beacon, where she insisted that a Supreme Court seat could remain vacant for years, particularly in light of how Republicans treated former President Barack Obama’s final Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland.
