Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made a generous compromise offer to President Obama in the standoff over a replacement for recently deceased Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. McConnell promised an up-or-down vote for any candidate who meets certain “minimal” qualifications. “This is all about the Constitution, and doing what the Constitution says we should,” said McConnell. “As long as Obama’s nominee is someone the Founding Fathers would have approved of, we’ll vote on him.” McConnell explained that this means Obama’s nominee only needs to be white, male, and Christian, and to possess a substantial amount of property. He also should not have been a Brit sympathizer. Past slaveholding would not be considered disqualifying. Wearing a wig would really help, too.
