title:  McConnell Just ADMITTED The NRA Must Approve Next Supreme Court Justice (VIDEO)
text: We could already make the assumption that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was making decisions off what the lobbyists in his back pocket are telling him to do, but now it has been confirmed, and in the worst way imaginable.McConnell is literally holding up the confirmation of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court because the NRA doesn t want him. He s keeping one of three branches of government from functioning as it should, because he wants to please the gun lobby over working for the American people.McConnell told Fox News: I can t imagine that a Republican majority in the United States Senate would want to confirm in a lame duck session a nominee opposed by the National Rifle Association, the National Federation of Independent Business that represents small businesses that have never taken a position on a Supreme Court appointment before. They re opposed to this guy. I can t imagine that a Republican majority Senate, even if it were soon to be minority, would want to confirm a judge that would move the court dramatically to the left. That s not gonna happen. This is just absolutely unacceptable, and hopefully McConnell is right. Hopefully the Republicans in the Senate will soon be the minority, and we can actually get Congress working for the people again, and not just for the lobbyists with the most money.Watch McConnell bow to the NRA here.Not @TheOnion   Mitch McConnell told Fox News that the NRA must approve of the next Supreme Court justice. pic.twitter.com/3sl397RXZR  Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) July 6, 2016Featured image via video screen capture
