With the current Supreme Court term coming to an end soon, there is growing speculation that 76-year-old Justice Sam Alito may step down from the seat he has held for 20 years, and that is leading to some under-the-radar maneuvering.
According to the Washington Post, Alito is widely considered the justice [most likely to step down, with observers pointing to his age, the release of his first book, and the November midterm elections as potential motivators due to Republican fears of losing control of the Senate.
“It’s too close to the election to appoint his replacement”. Remember that dems, don’t shit the bed on this one…
Does it matter?
The Dems can’t filibuster for the supreme court.
Providing there’s a Republican majority there’s literally nothing they can do to stop it.
They will shit the bed. Make no mistake.
Justice Eileen Cannon incoming… and Senator Fecalman with the assist.
This feels kinda bold to me. Like yea Republicans might go for his replacement but Trump burned at least 2 senators who are there until next year and more than a few others who are retiring. Some in the GOP seem to suddenly find their spines when no longer in power so weird chance this backfires.
Also it feels like it would 100% fire up the opposition if they force through another justice like this. But Dems never cease to amaze me in their ability to fail when everything is stacked in their favour.
