didn’t matter Shameless Mitch would’ve done it anyway.. He literally held up a nomination for a full fukkin 8 months until trump was president

It started an avalanche that hasn't stopped...and now the confirmation process is overly political

Well now folk know voting matters right? Dems need a simple majority to confirm Ms Brown-Jackson… So Mitch can do his performative bullshyt about he not voting for her.. Biden wanted bipartisan support and he got it with Sen Collins vote

I wish Harry Reid never abolished the 60 vote threshold to get judges confirmed

If he didn't do it then something else would have happened long before now. Republicans had intentionally broken the system by repeatedly nominating the shyttiest, least qualified judges they could possibly find and then turning around and opposing virtually everyone the Dems nominated.

It didn't start the avalanche. Republicans obstructing one Obama pick after another solely because they were Obama picks was what started the problem. D.C. Circuit Court had a continuous vacancy for the first 5 years of the Obama Administration because Republicans wouldn't confirm any of his picks.

Collins just said she is going to vote yes on Jackson so she's in.

I never even caught that, good shyt. Even 1 Republican vote makes it that much more difficult for Repubs to claim that she's some impossibly far-left judge or that the dems rammed her through the process.



If something happens to Thomas or any other judge over the next few months, Biden should pull a boss move and nominate J. Michelle Childs immediately. He's already vetted her and Republicans are already on record as saying she should have been the nominee. What excuse would they have left to oppose her?

Then that would be making the court 5-4, so the stakes are higher. I also don't think he would limit himself to the same candidates as he did this round.
