    I say nah. will a $35 fine still be sufficient punishment for an endless stream of protesters that try to unlawfully disrupt the confirmation process with vocal demonstration inside the process chambers?

    I know government moves slow, but not quite that slow. Good break for the Democratic party nothing brings a caucus together like a Supreme Court nominee. Wouldn't say it's going to save them, but it might focus them a little more.

    Liberal judge is retiring.

    Biden has nearly three years to replace him with another liberal judge.

    The big question is there any possible way that Biden could screw it up?

    The answer is a resounding "Yes". He is fully capable of screwing it up.

    Maybe the more salient question is whether Sinemachin will support Biden's nominee?

    It will probably be Brown-Jackson and they voted for her Fed nomination along with a few Republicans (if I remember correctly Murkowski, Collins, plus…ah, well..I don’t remember correctly:)).

    the only way to avoid filibusters is to appoint someone approved by the federalist society. that would be a screw up.

    You only need a simple majority in the Senate to appoint a Justice. This is a layup even for Biden. Get ready for a black women Justice , whether or not she is the best available candidate. Affirmative action at its highest or more accurately lowest point.

    Nope, remember, we no longer need a super majority on SCOTUS nominations.

    Ieave Swalwell in Congress. Appoint Garland to SCOTUS , then fill the AG post with Glenn Kirschner ( listen to his daily YouTube videos, and you'll quickly see why I'd like to have him as AG ).

    They might appoint Chicago mayor lightfoot:
    1. A woman
    2. Black
    3. Gay

    That’s like nirvana, right there! The only way to score better is to find a tranny that is attacked to other trannies, like a man that turned into a woman who seeks women who turned into men.

    Biden already pledged to nominate an African American woman judge for the position. He’s got a quota to fill and a race card to play.

    Of course he could screw it up, it's by no means a given that he'll get 50 Senate votes for whatever nominee he chooses.

    That said, given this doesn't really matter and won't change the composition if the court, the GOP could take the high ground on this pretty easily.

    there will be no hearings. there will be no confirmation.

    disclaimer : if biden nominates someone from the federalist society list it will be smooth sailing to a 7-2 court.
