Mitch McConnell Says Merrick Garland Is No Moderate | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Who's here after Ginsburg's death.
I so badly want Trump to nominate Merrick Garland to Ginsbergs seat. It would be delicious. What do the Democrats do? Block him for a second time? Say that it was a good pick by trump right before the election and vote yes? That would be a brilliant move and it should be a more left leaning judge for balance.
Me! But bear in mind, he was talking about a democrat president sending a nomination to a republican majority house. This situation is absolutely not the same. Republican present, republican senate. It just happens to be working out that way this time around.
@@brasshouse9822 you just said dems blocked

“Of the opposite party.” He is not a hypocrite.
@@BKWalrus Who has the majority in the senate is completely irrelevant. Their job is to confirm or refuse. The president still gets to nominate, that's the issue at hand here: the NOMINATION.
TURTLE!!
REPEAT.
He dodged the question on how Garland is not a moderate. He has no idea, he just disagrees with Obama because it's Obama.
I like the part where he mentioned that the President and Senate were of two different parties as to why he didn't have a hearing on Merrick Garland. Oh wait, that didn't happen
Yeah, he explicitly said that, but...whatever.
Mitch McConnell is a bald faced liar who stole the Supreme Court vacancy after Justice Scalia's passing by intentionally withholding that seat from Obama's Supreme Court ourt pick now Attorney General Merrick Garland.
And now just watch he will now vote for Garland as AG and glowingly praise him...
Oh how the tables have turned
LOOK!
the turtle speaks
Then proceeded to confirm a candidate right before elections that the president ended up losing
winning*
Yep😂. So glad he did. Helped a lot.
Fast forward to 2020 😂 blatant double standard!
What about you Moscow Mitch?
HE STOLE A SUPREME COURT SEAT
LOL Joe and Mika are so friendly to Mitch in this interview, now if Mitch went on this show it wouldnt be as nice.
Yeah, that's being a sore loser for you; blaming "fascism" when they don't get what they want.
He can't name one thing Trump has done to make him think he can trust him!
Does your saying he said something he didn't say in the video mean you can't think of a reason why we should trust Trump either?
Well, now he can name at least three.
@@abhishekmhatre1554 He can name lots of conservative priorities that Trump has advanced (some even ones he said [or implied] he opposed). But those names on that list were always there. That wasn't the question- which he never answered. But Trump has also done plenty of things in the intervening years to make himself (and this country in general) look unreliable.
@@felixthehuman I agree with that, but unfortunately the country is divided along tribal, political lines.
Look at that smirk on McConnell's face. He is selling a car with no muffler.
Maybe he's not a moderate to a far right lunatic like Mitch McConnell.
mitch isnt far right.
Yes he is
@@QueenJneeuQcConnell is no where near far right wing. After all the tea party tried to primary here.
Do your job! Take a vote on Garland! Where else can you go to work and refuse to do your job and still get paid and keep your job? Things must change!
McConnell loves the constitution, expect when it is inconvenient.
"expect"?
With Trump comes the end of political decorum. Before these times, all presidents -- including Richard Nixon -- appreciated the reciprocity in politics, the heavy responsibility of the office which they hold, and more importantly that there is a limit to what they can and cannot do. They were not necessarily good people; they made compromises that too often were viewed as shady; they advanced their personal or partisan interests in this tenure. But, perhaps the election of Donald Trump proved that it is not truth and justice, not even the belief in truth or the appearance of justice, mattered anymore.
All it ever took was one person who didn't care and acts as they please to tear down the informal infrastructure of this government. If Stalin, Lenin, and every dictator that had been put down by US in the name of democracy were here today, they'd be darn so glad, seeing a democracy crumbling from its inside.
i honestly can not listen to Mitch. makes me sick
Sassa Gaki Me too
Probably should have got a vote but chances were slim it would have gotten a majority
He never would have had the votes to cross the threshold with Republicans in charge, but if nothing else Garland and President Obama deserved an up or down vote. Just blocking it period was unamerican and antidemocratic.
I HATE MITCH MCCONNELL
Moderate=radical judicial activist judge
What are you thanking him for. NOT ANSWERING THE ??? twice.
Round ‘em up Mer!
Evil turtle
The green reaper dont mess with this man
RIP Merrick Garland. Gone, but not forgotten. Smiling down on us (and especially on Cocaine Mitch) from heaven. We miss you, Merrick.
He's not dead. He's still on the DC Circuit.
@@shocktrauma85 I know, his spirit lives on in all of us who remember him.
Fast forward two years. Trump has more than kept his word.
And yet he allows kavanaugh to be confirmed before mid terms... hypocrisy
Ikr. The only reason I'm watching this today.
midterms are not an election year, and by the way in those midterms the Republicans got even more seats in the senate.
Merrick garland will make a good replacement for Ginsburg.
ACB is going to make a better one.
By the time we have a Democrat in office again, Garland will be in his 70s. Part of the reason Obama chose him was he knew that he’d have a better chance at getting an older judge confirmed than a younger judge. The ideal age for a SCOTUS nominee is early 40s to mid 50s at the latest.
If trump wins again he’ll probably nominate garland to replace Ginsburg
Trump straight up admitted publicly that he wants to give RBG’s seat to Judge Amy Coney Barrett from the 7th circuit, but I think he’ll pull a fast one on her and nominate Judge Allison Rushing from the the 4th circuit.
@@muraddiab6393 oh really?
Its funny because Oren Hatch was asked if Obama should nominate someone a week before he chose Garland, and Hatch said “The president told me several times he’s going to name a moderate [to fill the court vacancy], but I don’t believe him. [Obama] could easily name Merrick Garland, who is a fine man. He probably won’t do that because this appointment is about the election.”
Now conservatives like Hatch have to eat those words They are being hypocrites, and they know it. But I mean what else is new, they have been the least productive house and senate in decades, and only just because they want the President to fail more than they care about getting anything done for the country.
They aren't even trying to hide it anymore. On March 16th, Senator Pat Toomey(PA) tweeted
"Should Merrick Garland be nominated again by the next president, I would be happy to carefully consider his nomination..."
I don't get this whole "It's about who makes the nomination." crap McConnell is going on about. What difference does it make WHO makes the appointment? Why can't the Senate make their decision solely on the credentials of the person nominated?
Because that would require them to do their jobs. McConnell is the one that said their main job is to refuse everything Obama proposes, not to actually pass legislation. As much as I hate Gingrich, at least he got things passed while Clinton was president.
Most Disgraceful acts ever
De Chelonian Non Mobile
1:30 Mika is incredible
McConnell, Graham, Grassley, "Your word is mudd".
sooooo... if NOBODY votes this fall for a new president we can have NO PRESIDENT :) ...sounds like a great idea to me!!!
gerland would go right along with banning personal firearm ownership.
How do you base this?
A. Lawrence from his own statements.He is proud of being an anti-gunner like most Dems.
Merick Garland is not a democrat, not a liberal, and there is no reason to believe he wants to ban guns, and if he did try to ban guns he would be stopped.
They better confirm garland when they can because Hillary or Bernie aren't going to compromise with their Supreme Court picks.
Wrong.
7 year later this is gold
love mitch
I'm a Democrat who is totally against Merrick being confirmed. He is for Citizens United and is also a center right jurist, not a liberal by any stretch of the imagination. However, having said that, the Republicans will confirm him if they lose the November elections, because his replacement will much more liberal than he is.
"There is nothing moderate about Merrick Garland." Good one Mitch, I can go along with your dog whistles- he's cooperatist!
When Hillary wins, she'll probably select a more liberal judge. If Trump wins, it's over for America
twelge15
When Sanders wins, he'll appoint a justice who will overturn Citizens United.
Heh. How'd President Hillary work out?
How did that go, dipfuck?
Cocaine Mitch is the goat
😞. We need to pray for Mitch. His recent decision for Kavanaugh will cost him dearly.
This did not age well.
Obama knows exactly what a moderate is (especially a right-leaning moderate)
Can’t deny Cocaine Mitch has giant balls!! The balls it must of taken to take this gamble! Paid off in the long run!
You must love unconstitutional people
Explain how it was "unconstitutional". Don't give me that "It's not fair! Gimme what I want!"
This is why we Love McConnell. Best Senator in the Nation!
Yea blocks bills that are supported nation wide with a high support. You weren’t hugged as a kid huh?
Mitch McConnell is the GOAT; greater than Tom Brady.
Go turtle go!!! Get em Mitch and get Brett confirmed yesterday!! Glad you aren't putting up with the Demcraps libel and stall tactics. Graham finally grew a pair as well!
