typically if one begins to sob openly about how much they love beer during the interview process for a prestigious job they do not get the job. Unless that job is SUPREME COURT JUSTICE, in which weeping openly about how much you love to drink is good, actually

I honestly still don't understand why they didn't use that as an excuse to dump him and install someone even shittier

like "you libs can't complain we got rid of beer man"

and sure I know they're all interchangeable but I'm sure they can find someone shittier than any given person

Kavanaugh is, like, the Platonic ideal of a supreme court appointee. They couldn't not let him in, or else it might signal to others down the pipe that something could interrupt their pre-destined rise to glory

it’s kind of insane that the Democratic Party’s main strategy for the last decade has been “you ABSOLUTELY MUST vote for us or else Roe v Wade is done for!” and they control all 3 branches of the government and it still happened anyway

On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court issued a 7–2 decision in favor of "Jane Roe" (Norma McCorvey) holding that women in the United States had a fundamental right to choose whether to have abortions without excessive government restriction and striking down Texas's abortion ban as unconstitutional.

It also doesn't make any sense to protect the fillibuster anymore, since abortion bans were pretty much the go-to example of why letting the republicans rule with a majority was bad.

Judicial nominees are exempt from the fillibuster, dingus. Republicans eliminated the filibuster for supreme court nominees when the filibuster was standing in the way of getting their own nominee through. Then they eliminated the filibuster for all other judicial nominees with the filibuster was standing in the way of getting their own nominees through. By the way you can literally just do that whenever you want, get rid of the filibuster with 50 votes.

to add new justices to the Supreme Court they would have to pass legislation, you can’t just appoint a new one whenever you feel like it. that’s why they only do it when one dies

You can literally just appoint a new one whenever you feel like it. The process is governed by the constitution, not law, and the constitution doesn't specify a number of justices. THere is no law that would need to be amended to increase the number of justices. There was a standoff in the 40s where FDR threatened to do exactly that until the supreme court stopped striking down his laws.

read it again. the constitution specifies that congress would pass a law governing the courts, which they did a few times but most recently in 1869, which is why it’s 9. it used to be 6, 7, and 10. so yes it would require new legislation to appoint a new justice. do you think guys like FDR and Reagan just withheld out of decorum

Sounds like an interesting case for the Supreme Court to consider before it rules 397-6 in favor of the administration's argument that the Senate's decision to appoint 393 new associate justices and one superchief justice, as the most recent and specific legislation, takes priority
