Washington Post: More than half of Virginia school districts are defying Youngkin’s mask-optional order In addition to being one of the most likely GOP votes for Biden’s picks on the Senate floor, Graham has emerged as the most reliable Republican vote in the evenly split Senate Judiciary Committee. Graham has touted his willingness to support a president’s judicial nominees even if he doesn’t agree with their philosophy, noting he was one of nine GOP senators who voted for Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s Supreme Court nomination in 2009 and one of five who supported Elena Kagan a year later…
“He believes presidents who win the election get to appoint judges, subject obviously to extreme cases, and I think he’s following through on it,” said Russell Wheeler, a fellow with the Brookings Institution who studies judicial confirmations.
There is no depravity that Republicans will not embrace.Īs much as I hate to say anything positive about Lindsey Graham: The judiciary committee is split 50/50, including Hawley, Cruz, Graham, and Blackburn. It’s the stupidest shit, but so many ostensibly liberal or progressive folks freak the fuck out at either name that they’re willing to agree to anything so long as it keeps the great evil boogeymen away, and it’s both exhausting and impenetrable. And unfortunately, VP Harris is approaching that level of pariahship to many, where mere invocation of their name is enough to send them screaming rightward.

Folks elsewhere went full brainworms about Hillary possibly running in ‘24 because the Post reported his comments, and all it took was the mention of the name ‘Clinton’ for them to throw out any sort of critical thinking. Unfortunately, he’s a clown who’s picked his targets well. That Romney as Biden’s running mate in 2024 business from Dick Morris is a good example of why Morris is regarded as such a clown. Speaking of which, Dick Morris recently predicted Hillary would be the Democratic nominee in 2024, because that is music to rightwing ears and a way for him to get attention. Of course, if something happened and McConnell became Majority Leader, I could see him not allowing any vote for the remainder of Biden’s term, even if SCOTUS were down to 6 members. OTOH if Thomas and/or Alito depart for whatever reason, McConnell will fight to the death to stop a Biden appointment. It’s a liberal replacing a liberal McConnell will likely not care about this. McConnell is the biggest problem here, I’m not sure how the process works enough to know what can be done to stop his bullshit.

Drag their feet, kiss Manchin and Sinema’s ass and promise them shit, get on tv and trash the fuck out of the nominee, use arcane rules to try to disqualify by whatever means they can. Republicans will do whatever they can to fuck this process up. If I were her I would bow out, because you and I know what the hell will happen if she’s Biden’s pick. No one has asked her if she even wants the job. I would love to see Michelle Obama on the court, but I am also mostly tethered to reality.
