The Left is desperate to create a sense of momentum for the Supreme Court nomination of Merrick Garland and hypes every sign of supposed Republican wavering. But the truth is that there is no momentum. The two Republican senators who favored a hearing and a vote from the beginning — Susan Collins and Mark Kirk — still favor a hearing and a vote. A third, Jerry Moran, had said the same thing, but he has now had a conversation with Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and accepts that a hearing and vote aren’t going to happen. So every indication continues to be that this nomination isn’t going anywhere, no matter how hard the Left tries to spin it otherwise.
Here is a statement from a senior Moran aide:
As Senator Moran has said, he is opposed to President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee. He has examined Judge Garland’s record and didn’t need hearings to conclude that the nominee’s judicial philosophy, disregard for Second Amendment Rights and sympathy for federal government bureaucracy make Garland unacceptable to serve on the Supreme Court. Senator Moran remains committed to preventing this president from putting another justice on the highest court in the land.
UPDATE:
And a comment from Senator Grassley:
Sen. Moran called me about the Supreme Court vacancy. I’m confident that he’s committed to ensuring the American people have an opportunity to make their voices heard during this pivotal election, and that the Senate should consider the nominee submitted by the next President.

Nobel economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is fond of mocking his critics for being ideologues rather than economists. In contrast, Krugman's own policy prescriptions, he assures us, are based wholly on sound economic science.
Case in point is the theory of liquidity traps, which goes back to Keynes. An economy is said to be in a liquidity trap when the central bank is powerless to stimulate economic growth because the public demand for liquidity has become limitless. This could happen when interest rates have been driven down to zero, a situation in which people may prefer holding cash to consuming or investing.
Krugman has argued that the rules of the policy game are different in a liquidity trap. In normal times, when short-term interest rates are positive, governments can and should rely on monetary policy – cutting rates - to stimulate economic activity if output is running below capacity. There is no need for extra government spending to substitute for deficient private demand – what we call fiscal stimulus. The private sector can do the job on its own with an appropriate level of interest rates. But if rates are at zero, and need to go lower, the central bank is out of ammunition. The government must step in with higher spending, even if it means running large budget deficits.

You'd think that Republican voters would want to crumple the primary system into wastepaper and chuck it atop a radioactive dump. On the one hand, Donald Trump has criticized the process (unfair), the rules (unfair) and the size of the field (unfair), and his supporters have consistently adopted his perspective on the campaign. On the other hand, the #NeverTrump movement is disgusted with @realDonaldTrump, and the candidates running to stop him have blasted the media for providing him so much free coverage. There are grievances on all sides.

Bernie Sanders somehow believes taxpayers should heavily subsidize college and claims that it ?initially? wouldn’t cost students anything?that is the single most dumbest statement I?ve heard from any candidate about the cost of college. Well, Mike Rowe is here to back me up. Obviously, there are some serious problems with this rationale. All you have ?

MILWAUKEE — The Wisconsin Republican primary is so critical to Donald Trump that, after having pledged I'll be here all week to his supporters, Trump promptly departed to Washington and other destinations for a couple of days off the trail prior to next Tuesday's vote.
The Wisconsin GOP contest is so critical to Sen. Ted Cruz that he took off to California for some fundraising and a guest spot on Jimmy Kimmel, in addition to a stop in North Dakota for its delegate convention, before returning to Wisconsin for a few more days of campaigning.
The Wisconsin primary is so critical to Gov. John Kasich that he headed to New York, where his highest-profile accomplishment was to be photographed eating pizza with a fork.
Wisconsin, home of Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus and House Speaker Paul Ryan, has a prime spot on the GOP primary calendar. The April 5 election is the only event on that day, coming two weeks after the Arizona and Utah contests and two weeks before New York. So for the moment, all political eyes are on the Badger State.
