She will get confirmed. My point was he is only opposing her for political points. Why did he support her to the Appeals Court last year if he has such concerns for her? (All of these issues that he has were well over a year ago....) Do you really think his comment is based on anything other than political posturing? |

Almost all of the opposition to judges for the last number of years has been political. One can differentiate between a judge who can be overruled when they go too far and a Justice, who is part of a body that cannot be overruled (though laws can be changed to nullify some of their rulings). …but yes, mostly political. The Senate has been that way for a while. 100-0 confirmations are rare, even for the WH Dog Catcher. |

lol Just reminiscing about jcw’s last fan fiction post. His dreams of a 7-2 court are as MIA as fleaswatter. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Had Donny acted like an adult between his election loss and the GA runoffs, senate Dems would have never gotten the opportunity to fill this seat. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

This is a historic day. I am very proud of the Senate for doing the right thing. I think that she will do great. |

| JimRockford Member since: Sep 18, 2015 Threads: 2 Posts: 971 | Someone said that these SCOTUS confirmations have always been partisan. I just read that Reagan appointee Sandra Day O'Connor was confirmed 99 - 1. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

That was back before we understood the incompetence of women. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

What brings me happiness is knowing the SCOTUS will rule against you and your view of America for the next two decades. That will be the result when the Senate flips next week and makes Biden one and done with SCOTUS nominations. The Dobbs decision was perfection, put the governing power back in the hands of the states. Make the federal government less relevant and only able to do the jobs they were specifically tasked to do. Looks like the GOP is going to be no worse for wear on November 8th & the SCOTUS overturned freaking Roe!! That has to drive the Libs absolutely crazy. So yes, It all makes me very happy. LMAO.

Two decades?! Sounds like a deal to me… The SCOTUS has been controlled by conservatives for my entire life. I can handle two more decades. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
