The GOP would be wise to not expend political capital opposing the forthcoming nomination.

It's not a winnable fight, and will likely only result in lots of accusations of Republicans being racist and such. It'd be a silly self-inflicted wound months before an election that is setting up to be a windfall for Republicans.

Know when you've got the cards and when to bet big. This ain't it.

Continues to amaze me that Democrats are allowed to be openly racist like this and no one cares.

Why not an Asian?

Agree. Let the Democrat infighting rage without distractions from the republicans, and force Manchin to either support a leftist or stonewall the nomination.

I would agree. It's a 1:1 swap. Hope that Biden nominates someone who is somewhat qualified and might trend to the middle every now and then and move on.

Count on at least 5 Republicans voting for whoever is nominated.
Lindsay used to be a reliable yes vote for anyone nominated by a POTUS. I'm not so sure he still is an auto yes.

That circus could be fun to watch.

At least they're replacing a leftist, so if they're successful it's no loss.

But if they get stonewalled like they did with Garland...oh that could be entertaining.

Yup. Simple as that.

They need to put up some sort of a fight (so future folks dont' say...SEE! NOBODY OBJECTED!), but it does not need to be a barn burner.

Let the Dems slap fight each other.

Not sure about the voting for herself, but how would they be able to confirm a new VP without her vote?

I think the Repubs should all vote no and force the moderate Dem senators to vote yes to use against them in campaign season

They will nominate and get a full on communist to take Breyer's spot.
And it will fuel a massive electoral victory for conservatives.

I look forward to Biden using this as an opportunity to bring the country together and nominate a centrist. It's time to bury the strife and rancor that America is experiencing. Just like Obama tried to do with Merrick Garland.


You mean Merrick "Heinrich Himmler" Garland who as a "moderate" AG has sent the FBI after parents who speak at school board meetings, and has overseen the imprisonment and torture of those accused of trespassing without being allowed their Constitutional rights? A moderate who has shown himself to be against fundamental Constitutional rights of citizens who disagree with the dictates of the political establishment.

Sometimes it is difficult to know what is sarcasm and what some actually believe in this upside down world of propaganda, censorship, and lies.

I would litterally bet my balls on it. So a person who benefited from their skin color for a vast majority of their life, and gets appointed to the Supreme Court. Will lecture us for decades how rascist and oppressive this country is. Like RBG you already know how she will vote before they even hear the case. Disgusting and so ironic!!

Sorry, forgot my /s. Obama tried to push Merrick as a centrist after Scalia died. Look how he turned out. I'm sure that they'll try the same scheme here to resurrect Biden's image. Biden needs a win, any win, in the worst way possible.

Whatever the best politically strategic move to make is I am sure can count on the GOP to mess it up.

The GOP are the Washington Generals of politics. They continually snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Watching Fox Business and sure enough Richard Fowler is on saying Biden MUST select a black woman and at the top of this list is someone named Ketanji Brown Jackson.

She's an Obama judge and clerked for Breyer and took over the seat left vacant by Merrick Garland when he got the Attorney General gig. Sounds terrible already.

I don't know what's going to be worse: the candidate who ultimately gets seated or the months of mental gymnastics, flip-flopping, and whataboutism we're about to endure in the news and on social media from two parties that have just switched sides on whether a Supreme Court justice should be nominated in an election year (even if it's just midterms, not a presidential election).

Quote:

They pointed to, for instance, Judge J. Michelle Childs of the Federal District Court in Columbia, S.C., a graduate of the University of South Carolina's law school and a former law firm partner who also worked in state government. In December, Mr. Biden said he would name Judge Childs to fill a vacancy on the D.C. Circuit, a sign that she may be a serious contender for Justice Breyer's seat.
One of my more recent cases was before Childs. I found her to be competent and fair, FWIW.

NO AMNESTY!

in order for democrats, liberals, progressives et al to continue their illogical belief systems they have to pretend not to know a lot of things; by pretending "not to know" there is no guilt, no actual connection to conscience. Denial of truth allows easier trespass.

If Sotomeyer can get approved, anyone can. She set the standard for 'no qualifications needed' for a seat on the SCOTUS.

It's amazing how it's considered acceptable to be a racist POS if you're a liberal Democrat. You have to be an awful human being with zero ethical boundaries to be a well informed Democrat voter in this day and age.

Imagine if Trump had said that he vows to put a white man on SCOTUS. I know it's (D)ifferent when a Democrat does it or if the racism is at the expense of white people. Hypocrisy and racism is the foundation of the Democrat party and the progressive agenda. The party of the KKK will always be the same.

Given it was one of Biden's campaign promises, it's not much of a stretch.
