Democrats eye swift confirmation of Biden high court pick

[EC Washington]

Biden ain’t picking anyone - Obama - Susam Rice - Eric Holder will make the pick

Remember Republicans, if you don’t support the black racist nominee, you are racist.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Yep, if I had been in Georgia last January, I sure wouldn’t have stayed home.

[Meet the New Boss]

eyeing a similarly swift schedule, even if Breyer does not officially step down until the summer

The Senate would just refrain from sending the president the paperwork on the final confirmation vote until Breyer has retired.

Wait, what??

Has Breyer actually said he is retiring, or is this the MSM/Dem borg trying to pressure and stampede Breyer into stepping down?

Why then are they talking about having confirmed a successor before he retires?

[Lurkinanloomin]

Dark humor (I like it)

[Seruzawa]

I just hope they pick an old handicapped AIDS-infested candidate. Someone who won’t last long and the next Pub can replace it.

[ClearCase_guy]

I will surprised if Sniffer does not nominate the Ho.

I wonder if they would make Kamala (President of the Senate) step down while the Senate reviews her for a SCOTUS seat?

Then, once she gets rejected, the Dems can choose another judge and another VP?

[ifinnegan]

Hold out for Janice Rodgers Brown.

Only need one Dem to turn..

[Tallguy]

Sinema & Manchin are going to demand a high price for their votes. They’ve had to eat a lot of excrement over the last year.

[Raycpa]

Do we get to read old high school year books again?

[Lurkinanloomin]

Current term doesn’t end until June, he will stay until then.
It would be unusual for them to confirm before he actually steps down.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

And...

(4) She will proudly wear this lapel pin to the confirmation hearing.

[Sacajaweau]

breyer had 87 votes

[TakebackGOP]

I don’t agree at all that Manchin and Sinema will vote against, when most Republicans will vote yes. They didn’t vote for the voting rights bill and getting rid the filibuster, because that was overreaching on the Democrats’ part.

[Steve_Seattle]

By “votes” I meant as a judge he only has one vote. I wasn’t talking about the number of confirmation votes.

[Sacajaweau]

gotcha...

[epluribus_2]

(4) They/Them will hate America. Actually subsumed by (3).

[chuckee]

So, he is going the way of race and gender. A black woman which will make 3 women on the Gem side of the court and no men. What does Biden have against men? The only thing Biden or any Dem politician appears to like less than men is merit.

[Meet the New Boss]

How do we KNOW Breyer is stepping down at the end of the term?

Does anyone have an actual quote from Breyer?

[epluribus_2]

Maybe “The One”? or “Herself”? {shudders}
