Okay. I do do that.

So?

so whoever gets elected in 2024 will have to replace him.....

This is great news.

Kudos to him for a great career.

You're right - Mitch can't finesse this one. Biden gets to choose.

depends on if he gets a nomination through the senate before he loses the election......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Watch McConnell try to pull something anyway.

pull something?.......you mean like a vote?.....

Huh?

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Another flaw in the US Constitution. Nothing rational about the only lifetime job in government--let alone in country--given to a Justice.

do you think the balance of powers is irrational?.......

 

[Legion]

pull something?.......you mean like a vote?.....

Exactly like that.

DEMOCRATS claim that's a "threat to democracy", don't they?

 

[PostmodernProphet]

^^Typical right wing racism

you do realize cawhacko is not a right winger, correct?.....

 

[PostmodernProphet]

You think 11 months is cramming it through?

do you think the dems can do it in 11 months?........

This woman is the most qualified there is.

she hasn't even been on the court of appeals for a year......if she's the most qualified you have you are in a shitload of trouble......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Huh?

He's got a track record. Guess you don't remember.

You think being on the Court of Appeals is a requirement for the Supreme Court?

Hello cawacko,

You said: " His poll numbers are already low, select anyone but a black woman and you'll see true tanking."

I said: "According to Republicans his polls have already done that. So it is not 'true?'"

and now you are saying:



And I am now wondering what is unclear about my reply.

Basically, you can't have it both ways.

Polls which have 'tanked' cannot tank if they have already tanked.

That has nothing to do with what I wrote. If you want to argue about what others have said then argue with them.

My position is the same, black woman to my knowledge are the most loyal supporters of Biden (and Democrats). If Biden goes against his campaign promise here (I don't think he will) he will feel pain at the polls imo.

Maybe.

Are you saying that a new justice can't be nominated, confirmed, and seated until after the presidential election in November 2024?

 

[Legion]

He's got a track record.

Of tremendous success?

I do remember......and if you were pissed then I imagine you'll be even more pissed if it happens again.....

That's not what he said, is it?

I think not having experience is a disqualifier for a position on the SC......
