the official new supreme court thread - Very political

[Colonel Angus]

Expect Republicans, especially those in primaries, to engage in a race to the bottom talking about this nominee.

So the Kavanaugh playbook?

 

[DeacHead]

I'd love for the nom to be Anita Hill but 65 year olds aren't nominated to the SC any more.

 

[Shooshmoo]

Even with Breyer retiring, they still have their ill-gotten solid majority of extremists, so this one doesn't really matter for a while. One would think that would mean less pushback/cheating on this one, but evil knows no bounds so we will see. And if it's a black woman, well, we all know what will likely happen.

 

[Shooshmoo]

So the Kavanaugh playbook?

Again, serial rapist.

 

[Milhouse]

So the Kavanaugh playbook?

if the nominee is as much of a fucknut as kavanaugh then yes

 

[SC DEAC]

Kentaji Brown Jackson seems like a no brainer for this pick. She seems like the overwhelming favorite.

 

[Colonel Angus]

Again, serial rapist.

Warms the heart to watch an attorney and proud registered member of the Party of Truth and Facts go all-in on his "feels" and what he wants to be true.

Evidence (or lack thereof) be damned!!!

 

[TimmyClutch]

So the Kavanaugh playbook?

I actually hope she starts yelling about how much she likes beer. Maybe she can also say she is there because of a revenge plot by the Clintons. If she can have a couple hundred grand in debt magically disappear as well, she would hit for the trifecta.

Thomas has gotta die or retire soon, right? Think he's on the RBG try to hold on til the next president is in office train.

well we'd know more if the FBI actually investigated it. til then we'll just go with what we know, and that's he's a rapist and has shady financial connections.

Link to the evidence or proof of this? Or are you riding the same feels train as Shoo the scholar?

 

[deactherunner]

Foxnews types are now claiming it will be Kamala, presumably to take her out of the running for 2024 without making it look like that's what's happening.

Only if we can get Michelle for VP.

 

[Colonel Angus]

Even better. I was expecting a Laurence Tribe tweet as evidence or proof.

So feels it is.

*pats head*

well someone is lying under oath.

No, Stacey Abrams

He's only 73. He's not even definite retirement age for a coach. He's probably got two more presidential terms.

Foxnews types are now claiming it will be Kamala, presumably to take her out of the running for 2024 without making it look like that's what's happening.

That way when Biden nominates and Senate confirms Ketanji Brown Jackson Fox News viewers won't know the difference and think Kamala is out of the running.

Hey look one of DeSantis's most loyal bootlickers tryna get all cute about feelings and evidence and whatnot. That's fucking rich.

 

[Shooshmoo]

well someone is lying under oath.

I'm going to go with Biff, or Donk, or Buttplug or whatever his frat name was. Go Dekes (super proud he is a brother of mine)!

I mean:

They're still trying to figure out who paid of his $200k in credit card debt.
