Would she be able to vote for herself to break the 50:50 tie?!


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

She can vote for herself to break the tie.


If she had any ethics she would sit out of that vote. Unfortunately, the meaning of ethics has vanished in the DC swamp gas.

This, to me, highlights the issue with Washington.

How about you find out who is nominated, before saying you'll confirm them? This should not fall upon party lines, but who is best at constitutional law, for the country.

This is the SCOTUS version of 'we have to pass the bill so we can see what's in it'

It's a crazy world, when our elected leaders openly admit to making decisions without all the necessary information. If I ran my business like that, I would cease to exist.

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.

While encouraging, I'm much more concerned with her judicial and Constitutional philosophy. I suspect I'd be disappointed in that regard by anyone on Biden's short list.

excellent point.

judge pitman in austin is extremely bright and a very fair trial judge. I don't want him anywhere near a supreme court seat based on his political leanings.

Manchin and Sienema decide next SCJ?
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.
I think the Repubs should all vote no and force the moderate Dem senators to vote yes to use against them in campaign season
I hope that's what they do...but Romney and the usual suspects will still probably give in as they typically do.

That worked out so well for Houston....
Highest murder rate in the country right now.

Sounds like it's working as intended for the left.

Chances that the nominee is a communist, based on other appointments?

I really, really disagree here. Her job as VP is to break ties. There are no qualifications to that.

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!!

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


Yeah, it's kind of amusing that It was one Biden's campaign promises, and the NYT article listed the three most likely jurists that fit the bill and no other candidates, but people are calling their shot.

Any appointment will go through fairly easily I'd guess. Must "Republicans" won't fight it since it won't change the ratio.

Biden goes from imbroglio to fiasco to debacle: Economy, jobs, supply chain, Afghanistan exit, Ukraine, Iran, COVID-19 mandates. No reason to believe his Supreme Court appointment won't be terrible.
I voted for this because I like Mean Tweets!

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

While it's still unclear who Biden will name to replace Breyer, the president has said he intends to appoint a Black woman to the Supreme Courtthe first in the court's history.
Boom. There you go.

Qualifications? None.


Worked out great for VP

Biden should wait, he probably won't be in office much longer.

Lesbian black woman.


Lesbian to transgender for sure. They want someone in the court who could be personally offended if and when there come cases that would restrict gender issues

Sotomayor has been quite vocal about her disdain for the Court regarding the subject of abortion. To some court watchers, that signals she knows what the vote is on the Mississippi case. But we won't get that opinion until the end of the term, most likely.

So I imagine abortion will be a subject at confirmation.

Maybe the scumbags pulling the strings in the DNC decided it was time for him to retire without him offering to do so. Hopefully that's the case and he decides to stay on to spite them.

If he announces that he plans to stay on for another term just because the liberals botched this... OMG.

Also pick based on wrapping and plumbing (original, aftermarket or imaginary) worked out so well the first time, I'm just sure this will be just as good.
