Senator Mitt Romney, one of the last hopes for the Democrats on stalling the filling of Ginsburg’s vacancy until next year has announced his decision.
Romney writes “The Constitution gives the President the power to nominate and the Senate the authority to provide advice and consent on Supreme Court nominees.”
“Accordingly, I intend to follow the Constitution and precedent in considering the President’s nominee,” said Romney.
“If the nominee reaches the Senate floor, I intend to vote based upon their qualifications,” he added.
Romney’s decision follows Senators Cory Gardner and Chuck Grassley also agreeing to move forward with Trump’s nominee.
Democrats reacted with anger on social media. They blasted Mitt Romney full throttle.
Cher wrote “Mitt Romney MUST BE HELD PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE 4 NO HEALTHCARE,END OF SOCIAL SECURITY,END OF ALL REGULATIONS PROTECTING”
John Pavlovitz wrote “I hope whatever you received for your soul was worth it. If hell exists, you’re a shoo-in.”
