He's referring to the representatives as the "American People." The American people's voice is represented by the congressional members. That's what he's saying.
And, no, the American people are NOT perfectly capable of having informed opinions on things such as "good judges which could help maintain the integrity and interpretation of the US Constitution and the US Laws." The average American is woefully ignorant and uninformed on law, people who work in the judicial system, and legal precedence. That's why we have representatives who are supposed to be experts in these areas: people who dedicate their fulltime to knowing this stuff so they can best represent the interests of the people.
But we all know that they do not actually end up representing the interests of the people. That's based on actual solid and published science.
Pretty much, Trump does it often, says something redic to test the waters with his base.
It's clear that McConnell used a 'let the people decide by exercising their voting rights' in the upcoming 2016 election as his reason, even though the election was still some time away.
"Given that we are in the midst of the presidential election process, we believe that the American people should seize the opportunity to weigh in on whom they trust to nominate the next person for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court." -McConnell 2016
Don't bother with the shit-weasel speak from Trumpers saying otherwise or trying to spin the situation as being different. They know they're shit-weasel speaking.
Leftists and their sick obsession with protecting such a disgusting, demonic practice as abortion and calling it a "woman's right", or so-called "Conservatives" who don't seem to have a problem with it, either.
If you support abortion, you have no right calling yourself a Conservative.. period. It is not just some minor, side issue to Conservatives.. it is a very real problem especially in the United States. People thought a lot of people lost their lives on 9/11... well, since then, millions of unborn babies have been slaughtered inside their mothers' wombs... smh.
You wanna support mass infantacide, fine, (though you'll probably end up regretting it on Judgment Day, and yeah, that is a real thing) but don't go around calling yourself a Conservative please. At best, you are a libertarian... you are no Conservative.
