I'm going full accelerationist here but having this guy confirmed and vomit out 5-4s is the best way to get the Court packed in three years it's not like his identical except slightly less rapey December replacement will be any better

It’s not as bullshit as holding up a nominee for a whole year without a hearing. Graham has no room to talk and complaining about the process is weak sauce.

My peak political power was when my wife's best friends brother was a us senator and I could potentially relay requests that way which I never bothered with I spent the last year listening to political podcasts and determining my political philosophy which is bringing home all overseas military, using mmt to provide a good living standard, and unifying (by force) the American continent to fight global warming I'm an insane bitter male wasp

That didn't give the accusers enough time to prepare for the shitstorm that rained down in like a week. Furthermore, the whole "hire a prosecutor to grill the witness and then get rid of her because the nominee is melting under the slightest pressure" made it look like the whole thing was rigged in favor of the nominee.

Regarding the former, that was because Ford requested confidentiality. The FBI got the letter earlier, as did the Senate Judiciary Committee. They were the ones who sat on it until the leak- though it's clear the Senate Rs already knew about some of the other sexual allegations, as they used it to frame Kavanaugh's initial presentation. It's not known where the leak came from. On the latter, yes, certainly. Grassley et al have been scum a hundred different ways.

Made it look like it was rigged? Did you see the speeches at the "values voter" summit? Oh, and unrelatedly:  Got offered a clerkship this afternoon. After three years on the transactional side I'm both incredibly excited and scared shitless to get back into disputin'.

Pretty cool judicial nomination process you got there. Full, open hearings lead to hyper partisan judges who openly talk about Democrat conspiracies or whatever. I guess that's one way to end up with a legislative supreme court enforcing its particular policy preferences behind a mask of legal reasoning. Hail nazi lochner

Works pretty good actually I for one am excited for Trump to announce marbury v Madison was wrong this whole time and no one should listen to those 9 people For what it's worth it really isn't opaque. The republicans are openly showing everyone they don't care about this guy's past or his present with his weird credit card poo poo that looks like bribes, or even that he lied to their colleagues. All that matters is he'll vote the way they want him to and won't be a Souter , because abandoning Bork for Souter was the original sun of nomination processes and won't be rectified until there's 9 heritage foundation guys voting in lockstep Absolutely nothing matters besides predictability of voting. Guys like Posner or anyone else never stand a chance in hell of being nominated because having good judges on the supreme Court is the opposite of what everyone wants. On the plus side it barely matters because as soon as a Dem takes the presidency , Republicans will take 80% of state legislatures and just pass constitutional amendments on all the social issues anyways mastershakeman fucked around with this message at 14:50 on Sep 28, 2018 |

It's more that y'all have got some issues with the way your branches cooperate and work. For instance, Norway's system is also based mostly on decorum and could conceivably blow up at any time but because everyone is such a massive tightass, nobody ever steps out of line. The process goes Court Administration committee of impartial (lol) members from courts, bar association, public sector and randos appointed by the government suggest three qualified law nerds for any judgeship up to and including the supreme court, then the government chooses number 1 in 97% of all cases. Yes, literally that. Could the government sink the entire process by just choosing randomly? Well yes, but decorum. And also probable political suicide against one of the strongest arms of government, but whatever. All you need to do is get some checks and balances. Checks for the senators and balance some hookers on their laps, and you'll all be fine I'm sure.
