Well, the former rules never kept the Democrats from putting doctrinaire liberals on the court.
Remember the controversy over the nomination of the ACLU rep on the Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg??
Wait, there was no controversy. She sailed through. She got well over 90 votes for confirmation, as I recall.
Even an ACLU radical sailed through confirmation. It’s only when someone conservative is nominated, that there’s any ginned up “controversy” or “concerns” by Democrats and the media about a nominee.
She got 96 votes. 3 Jo’s and 1 no vote.
you just destroyed this article. Good for you. It also makes the assumption that we are going to have a majority for a long long time. always a dangerous assumption.
