2016: ""Of course," said McConnell, "the American people should have a say in the court's direction. It is a president's constitutional right to nominate a Supreme Court justice, and it is the Senate's constitutional right to act as a check on the president and withhold its consent.""

2019: "“Should a Supreme Court justice die next year, what will your position be on filling that spot?” an attendee asked.
“Oh, we’d fill it,” McConnell replied with a smile."
