Are Soto and Elana not voting the way Biden could guarantee with new justices? -- nm - Max Jun 27, 08:48 3
- they're just older. the last thing we need is a trump presidency with older judges. biden should appoint children to the court - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 27, 08:53 2
  - That's true. Weird time compression I guess has kept them in early 60s in my mind for the past decade. - Max Jun 27, 09:09 1
    - Also, I've been hearing Breyer on the radio more recently, frustratingly forming some opinions but dodging 'how should they vote' questions - Max Jun 27, 09:16
I agree with this, given below. I don't know why they stay on the damn bench so long. if you care about deomcracy, retire. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 27, 08:02 1
- and, best case scenario, you just keep writing these 6-3 dissents into the void until they take you out feet first - hollywood big shot Jun 27, 08:06
The best thing would be for Thomas and Alito to die in a plane crash next week. -- nm - Jovian Jun 27, 07:54 3
- Classy. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 27, 08:01 2
  - yes we would all shed so many tears. -- nm - Jovian Jun 27, 08:07 1
    - Their deaths, while tragic, probably saved lives. nm - Turd Ferguson Jun 27, 08:08
but wouldn't the Rs just kibosh any noms? like they did under barry o? -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 27, 07:51 7
- awww poor Barry O, while the GOP took all the gloves off, he went ahead and put on several more pairs. -- nm - Jovian Jun 27, 07:56
- They can't. Dems control the Senate so can process a vote and the SCOTUS filibuster doesn't work anymore -- nm - decline Jun 27, 07:55 3
  - would anyone flip? -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 27, 07:59 2
    - you might lose Manchin but Collins/Murkowski generally make up for that (SCOTUS confirmations are more individualized to the nominee) -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 27, 08:00 1
      - Manchin's played ball on just about every nomination for judges. If it's a qualified nominee, he'd support. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 27, 08:03
- Isn't the filibuster for SCOTUS noms dead? -- nm - ty97 Jun 27, 07:54 1
  - yes -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 27, 07:55
