the court’s recent actions suggest the next term, beginning in October, could contain its shortest, least-consequential docket in recent memory. (www.wsj.com)

- For right now, it's an arrow in their quiver to try to win November. - Will Hunting Jun 20, 04:59 18
  - It's going to backfire on them over the long term when Hillary puts a much more liberal person on the bench. -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 20, 05:20 16

        yeah, but it gets someone on the court for a couple years. -- nm - mafic Jun 20, 06:07 1

      - The pressure that would come from everywhere would be tremendous. After the election they'll have no excuse as to why - Krusty Jun 20, 05:40 7

        There's no pressure now, that'll change. No one is really out there pushing them and the press has left it alone for weeks. -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 20, 05:41 2

        How? They're losing that opportunity because I think Obama pulls him back on Nov. 9th. - Krusty Jun 20, 05:49
        
        Also, they may not have the senate next year. -- nm - Krusty Jun 20, 05:40 2

        They can't hold out forever. They're going to get killed on this every time there's a decision that's 4-4. - Krusty Jun 20, 05:44
    - Yeah, but they're not willing to punt on the General this early and voting for Garland is a punt. - Will Hunting Jun 20, 05:35 2
      - They're not very bright if at this point they think they're going to win the White House. It has to be to try and protect the house and senate - Krusty Jun 20, 05:39 1
        
        That's all it is. Getting out the vote. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 20, 05:50
  - that makes sense. -- nm - mafic Jun 20, 05:02
