Just way too funny. The Courts, any court, imposing the Rules of the Senate on the Senate ??
There’s a judge just waiting to rule the confirmation illegal, probably the one in Hawaii.
It only delays the inevitable, just as the “travel ban” rulings did. It does not set precedent and any 4-4 decisions are simply tabled until they can be revisited with a full court.
You make a valid point but not a strong one. Even if confirmed this fall, a new justice would have no impact until this winter at the earliest.
If we have formal control of the Senate, and we can push a nominee through, we should do so up until 12 noon EST, Jan. 20, 2025.
Does anyone doubt that the Party of Satan would if they had the power?
I know of a judge who is just crazy enough and totally lawless and deranged enough to attempt to do that
A “rule” is not a “law,” Skippy.
This is what happens when you hang out with your drug crazed stu8dents. PUT THE PIPE DOWN ALREADY!
Slavering lawyers looking for a pay day are hoping this advice is followed.
Here’s the Rule according to this Leftist.
SCOTUS Justices can only Die or Retire in Odd numbered Years.
The Biden Rule was clear, no SCOTUS Seat filled in the Eighth and final Year a President is in Office.
Yea, the ‘you can keep your doctor.....’ rule!
That “rule” only applies when the opposition party holds the Senate.
Nice try, but four of the current justices were appointed before mid-term elections. It is not the same as having a president who is leaving office appointing a life-term justice.
Desperation is deep here
Even the rules of the senate are not law.
“When rbg goes its gonna get real”
I can’t wait to see that show! But let’s hope we hold the Senate, otherwise her replacement will be very difficult.
Googled the author Ken Levy and there are so many, I have no idea which one wrote this drivel..One is an attorney so perhaps that’s the culprit..sounds like it...
“The views expressed by contributors are their own and not the view of The Hill.”
... or anyone else for that matter.
Their hypocrisy knows no bounds. The minority party has a "remedy", they can vote for or against the nominee, but that doesn't mean they get veto power, which is what they want.
How do you bring a LAWsuit against a perceived violation of a RULE?
The Senate Rules are not law, so I don’t know how you can bring a LAWsuit against it?
