Not true! MAGA has had other important (to them) accomplishments, like harassing brown people and protecting pedophiles.

If it’s coupled with DC Statehood, why not?

Did you see her picture, though? I don’t think she is “his type”. Totally the wrong demographic

Well, yeah, it is a lifetime appointment. It, quite literally, takes an Act of Congress to be fired from it. So they can hold to the job as long as they want.

No, my point is that not all Conservative judges are the same. And, if you take the Constitution seriously, the President has a right to pick someone, and the Senate has a right to advise him on who they find acceptable, and their consent is a requirement. So this the way it was supposed to have worked all along.

Remember that Anthony Kennedy is a conservative, and he was nominated to the Court by Reagan. Yet, once the Court started to lurch to the Right he ended up being the swing vote. Regardless, though, he retired while Republicans could fully control his replacement.

You could argue Kennedy was a compromise choice, because the Senate was in control of Democrats at the time, and they had already rejected Robert Bork for the job. If Chuck could force a similar outcome, wouldn’t that be a good thing?

I get it, but I think this time even Chuck will be on board. He can even call it the “McConnell Rule” if he wants. Politicians always love blaming the other side.

The only way a Democratic Senate would approve a new Trump justice would be if Democrats went to him and said “I know you won’t nominate a Liberal, here is a list of Conservatives we would back” and Trump picked one of them. Yes, even Fetterman would support that.

And before you start hating on Chuck over supporting any Conservative judge, remember that there are a pile of Conservative judges who are pissed off over this Administration also. Forcing Trump to appoint a centrist may make the difference between Trump being able to successfully ratfuck the next Presidential election, or not.

I’m looking forward to the Atlantic proving, in a court of law, that Kash Patel is a drunken fraud.

No, it’s not really that obvious, at least for Alito. The article doesn’t mention the fact that he has a book coming out soon, and I read in a different article that his scheduled book tour conflicts with the next Court term.

Plus, there is a small chance that Democrats win back the Senate, and if that happens before the next SCOTUS opening then there is zero chance Democrats act on it, after what happened with Garland’s nomination to replace Scalia. So, if either justice was thinking of retiring, they would prefer to do it while Republicans still held the Senate.

I doubt Thomas ever leaves before his health forces to, though. He makes too much in bribes gratuities to make any other gig attractive.

Did they record the wrestling match? That would be fun to watch.

I was about to complain yet again “that’s not how it works”, but then I looked up the text again and this is explicitly allowed. Congress can set up a commission that basically takes the place of the Cabinet for 25th Amendment purposes. So now all this talk of the 25th amendment makes a bit more sense to me.

They still need a 2/3 margin in both houses even after the commission makes their determination, because the idiot is guaranteed to contest it. But maybe there is some truth to the idea that Republicans won’t vote to impeach but would vote to declare him incompetent, based on his dumb tweets

Maybe Trump will fire him

Preferably out of a cannon

It’s not his worst week, he hasn’t killed a pope yet

I know it’s kind of sexist, but I keep thinking they are talking about the “Strait of Hormones” and that all these fat old men are just having Irritable Male Syndrome, just with more missiles and death than if women were in charge.

Stephen Miller as a young man:

The issue, though, is that when only Conservatives have kids, the next generation grows up even more Conservative.

She knows it requires her to hoover up a bunch of votes, then back out before Super Tuesday to endorse Gavin
