    That's the correct answer but not an accurate re-framing of the question. Will the soon-to-be nominee be an "incompetent unqualified multi-checkbox White Male Christian hating Marxist piece of commie-progclown-wokejoke"? Yes, but not because I hate them. That's the type the left wants on the bench.

    Republicans don't have a majority. I'm tired of them being allowed to throw their weight around on issues that are too important to screw with. The Dems need to be much tougher, bunch of pansies.

    The SC judges certainly seem to act like politicians rather than impartial adjudicators of the law.

    I don't support the power that the Supreme Court has. It no longer interprets the law, it makes law. The justices that Trump got in are neocon/neolib globalists. The only justice worth a damn is Clarence Thomas and the progressive left all hate him because he is a black man.

    His race isn’t why he is hated.

    Well her polling has gotten considerably worse since election day 2020. But what Democrat would object to her on the Court? They know she would vote the right way. And I bet most Democrats would like a do over on the VP slot, and this court opening certainly gives Biden the opportunity to do that without causing a lot of hard feelings.

    Yes it is. Your side taught us that. If you oppose a black person, the only possible reason can be white supremacist hatred of black people. We are still listening to the progressive left telling us we hated Obama because he was black (and not that he was a neolib globalist hack who hated America).

    Try this for a more accurate reframing of the question:
    Will you consider the nominee to be an "incompetent unqualified multi-checkbox White Male Christian hating Marxist piece of commie-progclown-wokejoke", regardless of who it is, just because that person was nominated by a Democrat?

    Yes. Yes you will.

    I'm guessing that no matter who Biden picks, you'll manage to spin it into "See? I was right!" What are the odds?

    Please explain how you think this sentence applies to ACB's nomination.

    You are debating with yourself.... I already gave your idea a partial thumbs up, but I still don't remotely expect it to happen...

    Or a sign that Breyer knows that.

    Then you're in the wrong party. Race, gender, and sexual orientation are more important than all other considerations to modern Democrats.

    Not completely, but at least partially. Scalia wasn't as hated as Thomas.

    If Joe nominated Newt Gingrich, Newt would suddenly become a RINO....

    I disagree, but can understand the left's argument behind "stolen by political hackery" around Gorsuch's nomination. I don't see it around ACB's nomination. Since he said it applied to both of them, I was curious where he saw the "stolen by political hackery" with regard to ACB's nomination (because I can already guess where he sees it with Gorsuch, even though I disagree).

    I'm not a Democrat, but I am liberal, and in my opinion, Harris is not qualified, having never sat on a bench. I'd prefer someone with solid judicial experience. I think her name is being bandied about on this thread out of nastiness and resentment.

    That's because Scalia had personality, something Thomas lacks.

    And yet I already said I'll be standing by to be proven wrong so, boom, that blows up this nonsense.
