I can't see how this is going to work out well for Republicsns at all. If I were Garland, I'd be pissed at them for jerking me around for months, and being just plain disrespectful to me and the bench. Certainly would make me less inclined to strongly consider conservative philosophies when making rulings

It doesn't matter who he nominates. The seat is not his to fill.

You know, with the election so recent, and because there's so much you have to learn and become used to when one becomes President, there really shouldn't be any Supreme Court Justice nominations for at least the first two years. You know, that way it can get the full attention it deserves.

This is, to be clear, why a portion of Senate Dems were voting for confirmation of Trump's previous, far less offensive appointments- they were keeping their powder dry to maximize coverage of the nuclear option to get someone really odious in. The plan was probably to do it to DeVos. Trump moving so quickly on SCOTUS forced the dems to pull the trigger on this sooner than they'd planned.

Agreed. It seems like Trump's pick is essentially going to be Scalia v2.0 and the better move would be to not make it an easy confirmation by any means, but don't set it up for the nuclear option right now. I would think that given there's a decent chance of one of the liberal justices needing replacement in the next 4 years is fairly high, saving the filibuster for that situation, so that invoking the nuclear option is even that more of a Thing.

The reason they're doing it now is that they can point to the fact that this seat was opened during Obama's term as a source of legitimacy. Notice that they're not saying "we'll filibuster anyone who's not moderate", they're saying "we'll filibuster anyone who's not Garland". That's not something they can just save for later.

Alright, that makes a lot more sense

Opening Arguments podcast has an episode today on Gorsuch. They make some good points about Gorsuch wanting to not just be a conservative, but a conservative activist judge. They also echo a lot of what's been said in the D&D / CSPAM threads about how they can't figure out why the Democrats can't put together a simple, organized and coherent argument against Gorsuch.

Makes me feel :smith:

It's probably like trying to nail jelly to a wall. The lack of a clearly defined set of judicial principles means you always have an exception to point out when someone boxes you in on your record.

Take Scalia, whose views on privacy could be defined by Lawrence, but perhaps also by any number of 4A police search cases (King for example, DNA cheek swabs), but then again there's the strip searches issue in Florence. If he went into a hearing and got questioned on being "soft on crime" he can point to Florence, whereas if questioned on 4A unreasonable search/seizure he can point to a handful of police search cases where he backed up the plaintiff.

So when I see someone who wants to be a crusader or an activist and wants to do so in Scalia's image, I imagine someone who draws their opinion from an initial gut check against political ideology and then writes the opinion by working out from there and using lots of inflammatory language to distract from the fact that it's not jurisprudence but ideological rigor in the face of contradictory facts.

That's a fair point. On the podcast, they were talking more about non-judicial activities such as writing this sarcastic little piece against liberals for the National Review, and broader concepts like the fact that he basically endorses judicial activism in his opinions, not necessarily about his specific readings of the law. It's a good listen, and as someone who doesn't easily understand law stuff, they make it easily digestible.

Main Paineframe posted:

The "huge partisan intervention" in question is that he delayed the filling of one seat until after an election, giving voters a chance to decide which party that seat should go to. Crying about him "stealing multiple seats" is just sour grapes.

Even if he hadn't done that, conservatives would still have a majority on the Court now, since McConnell didn't do anything new to get Kavanaugh's or ACB's seats.

Why would a person ever find themselves wanting to defend the litch known as Mitch Mcconnel?

Kavanaugh and ACB were absolutely stolen seats

An individual vote is the most meaningless thing in the world. They only matter in the aggregate, and it�s the responsibility of the candidate to build the support that can win on that measure. Even the closest election a single vote is meaningless, because was it that third party vote, or was it that person who got in a car wreck on the way to the polls and didn�t vote, or any other of countless individual reasons a voter didn�t vote for a candidate. No voter is on the hook. It�s entirely the responsibility of the political apparatus. That�s their job

In my life I have voted for Nader/kerry/Obamax2/clinton/spoiled ballot

In no case did my vote matter

I beg to differ
