@BresPolitico McConnell said Senate battle is "50-50" (forecasters say Dems favored). McConnell says 3 SCOTUS seats gives long-term edge “Permanency depends on the next election. So that’s the way legislation goes ... in judicial appointments you can have a longer-lasting positive impact.” — PolitiTweet.org

The night Ginsburg died, the two spoke about vacancy Trump: “This is what Mitch was made for: filling the Supreme Court seats" McConnell was more circumspect: “This will be the hardest fight of my life. We have to play this perfectly.” https://t.co/8dLR6k8TEd @BresPolitico — PolitiTweet.org

Rubio had talked up Lagoa to Trump and we was high on her. But Hawley warned WH about her “my problem with her is that I don’t see anything when it comes to Roe,” he told WH officials. Could have been a difficult hearing — but Hawley was already satisfied with Barrett — PolitiTweet.org

Barrett was thought too conservative to be confirmed two years ago when she was on shortlist. This time her confirmation seemed almost inevitable “By the time this one became vacant, there were a lot of unsolicited [requests from senators]: ‘I want Barrett,’” said Sen. Thune — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell was so emphatic he told Trump if he was thinking about picking someone else, to give McConnell one last chance to make the case for Barrett. While Meadows quizzed him on Allison Jones Rushing, McConnell said Barrett was the “obvious choice” — PolitiTweet.org

One day after Ginsburg died, Trump told McConnell that “lots of people” thought Barbara Lagoa would be good political pick for Supreme Court. McConnell had a rebuttal: Pick Amy Coney Barrett. Our look at how GOP paved way for Barrett https://t.co/LdeAKKA4w0 @marianne_levine — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer to Rs: "You may win this vote and Amy Coney Barrett may become the next associate justice of the Supreme Court, but you will never get your credibility back." "You may win this vote, but in the process you will speed the precipitous decline" of politics/Senate/SCOTUS — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer is trying to adjourn the Senate again until after the election. This might be the Dems' last delay tactic vote before ACB is confirmed in 2-3 hours — PolitiTweet.org
