Breyer retiring

[Legion]

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

Probably not when DEMOCRATS utilize it against a GOP majority, I'm guessing.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Maybe.

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

of course not......I'm saying that if Biden can't get his nominee confirmed before 2024 he won't be replacing Breyer......there is no guarantee that Biden can get a nominee confirmed.....and if he can't get a nominee confirmed before the dems lose the senate in 2022 it will be even harder for him to get his nominee confirmed before 2024.....

ten months and counting....

 

[Jarod]

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

Yes, you?

 

[Jarod]

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

I think she has experience. SO have you ever supported a nominee with only a year on the Court of Appeals?

 

[Geeko Sportivo]

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.

You would think that these Republicans should be relieved that Biden is not choosing Hillary!

Got it. Thanks.

Too pale.

Too pale.

What? No calf jokes?

The Hildebeast may be a hugely hefty heifer, but she's no calf.

What if a black woman is the 4th best choice at the time?

What is this "Affirmative Action" bullshit?

PS: I disagree, it's racist and sexist as can be.

What if she is the first place choice?

Again, it’s absolutely time qualified women are considered, and most especially qualified women who aren’t white.

Again do you think they understand that?

 

[Hawkeye10]

He is weak.

SCOTUS sucks, and has for a long time.

 

[BartenderElite]

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

Probably. I always get a bit dismayed by how far conservatives have strayed from the intent of the founders.

 

[Phantasmal]

Again do you think they understand that?

I think Matt can understand, but, he thinks it’s special treatment, nothing changes that type of thinking, very often.

 

[Legion]

Nope, it’s past time. What was wrong was appointing only white male judges for as long as they did.

Two wrongs make a right, eh?

There are plenty of very qualified black women, why would he go against his promise? And if Republicans attack a qualified black woman, they will further cement the idea that many of them are racist.

Did you support Bush's nomination of Harriet Meyers?

Clarence Thomas had barely two years on the bench.

Why?

Aren't there any qualified candidates regardless of race and/or gender?

 

[Legion]

There are plenty of very qualified black women, why would he go against his promise?

Because its prima facie discriminatory to exclude all other races and genders and only consider one combination for preferential treatment.

 

[Hawkeye10]

Why?

Aren't there any qualified candidates regardless of race and/or gender?

The best are not wanted, that was Old America.
