BREAKING Justice Breyer Retiring at End of Term (and Jackson hearings)...
- Thread starter jthomas666
- Start date
Traditionally, outgoing justices gets to make the official announcement as they wish. That doesn't mean someone's not gonna leak it.
This just in: Mitch McConnel says that he won’t participate in a USSC nomination until the American people use the polls to exercise their will when the next Republican president is selected by the newly appointed Republican state election oversight committees.
Biden, Senate Democrats Can Replace Justice Stephen Breyer on Party Lines
"Every step requires a simple majority, which they’ll have."
I absolutely do not agree with blocking Biden’s nomination (assuming, of course, s/he is qualified). Just putting this here for discussion purposes.
I doubt the games ever ended.
Politics is a never ending game, and unfortunately the SCOTUS is no exception.
This is, of course, Trump’s fourth Justice, since he ensured a Senate Dem majority.
The article was update because it was wrong. The GOP can't stop this, only a simple majority is needed, not 60 votes. You can actually thank the GOP for this as they lowered the threshold in 2017 to push Trump SC nominees through.Biden, Senate Democrats Can Replace Justice Stephen Breyer on Party Lines

Assuming that nothing negative is discovered during this vetting process, I'm guessing it may be Childs. Without Clyburn's support during the primary Biden may not have won the nomination and she is Clyburn's favorite. Also, with 8 of the nine justices graduates from either Harvard or Yale (ACB is ND), it would be nice to see some diversity there.

FWIW, Lindsey Graham came out in full support of her...a rather glowing statement that not only is she a good justice, she is an outstanding person. The return of the Messiah must be imminent.
Damn, son - you said the quiet part out loud.

Georgetown Suspends Lecturer Who Criticized Vow to Put Black Woman on Court
Ilya Shapiro has apologized after tweeting that President Biden was poised to nominate not “the objectively best pick,” but a “lesser” Black woman to the Supreme Court.

In true Republican bipartisan fashion, he will continue to speak glowingly of her nomination(if it happens), but will vote "NO" in the confirmation vote. The same for empty suit, Ben Sasse of Nebraska.
Graham is partisan, no doubt, but his voting record would suggest he would still vote to confirm a qualified judge. He voted yes for both Kagan and Sotomayor.
True, but those were different times.
Right now, the Senate majority is razor-thin. If they can pick off Manchin and Sinema, you know darn well the rest of the GOP members in the Senate would stay the course, putting in a delay until after mid-terms. I don't trust McConnell and his ilk to do their jobs.
They should fire his ass before he gets back on campus. Black law students are not going to let this go. Shapiro is smart enough to know what he was saying. He just thought he could disguise his bias by saying the Indian judge would be better qualified.Damn, son - you said the quiet part out loud.
