I think you meant "Their."
No Borking this time?
If anyone thinks this is anything other than an ideological battle for the hearts, minds, and soul of Americans and America, they’re kidding themselves.
The Left has already made its stand: Destroy America to gain Global Totalitarian Government.
Will the Right make its stand to MAGA by the Recovery of our Free Constitutional Republic?
That is ONLY what ALL of this including these judicial nomimiations is all about.
Law suits, riots in the streets, the democrats and the swamp will bring out all their tentacles on this one.
Yup.
Hate to say it, but if “we” wanted to win, “we’d” be working a lot harder to replace some of them, like Collins.
Comforting a Progressive Liberal democrat:
There, they’re, their.
It’ll be OK.
THEIR.
Sorry.
Wonder if McPain will be able to vote and give his signature thumbs down gesture (historically speaking, the thumbs down gesture in Roman times was to let the defeated live, not the other way around).

The #1 priority for (almost) all senators is getting re-elected. Whether it’s this year or in 2 or 4 years. Those retiring care about a high-paying job after, and the most likely employers are usually affiliated with a party so many of the same considerations still matter.
They will need to do some polling once a name is announced to get one data point.
They will need to determine exactly how pissed off the RNC or DNC will be with a vote to determine if they will lose support (funds, endorsements, committed positions, etc).
They will calculate and estimated amount of donations gained/lost to their campaign and opponents from either vote.
Then they’ll pay a high priced consultant to add up all the data and tell them how to vote to best be reelected. For most of them, going with the party is best since party support is more important than almost anything else in most elections. But a few have a tricky situation and cannot make their decision without more information.
The things they have made up their minds about are
* What’s best for the country is irrelevant
* The qualifications of the nominee are irrelevant
* Any specific issues (e.g. Roe V Wade) are irrelevant except as they impact reelection probabilities and provide talking points in support of “their side” (which is a party, not America)
* They will try to confuse everyone with terms like “stare decisis”. Dems will demand the nominee follows precedent with Roe “like any qualified nominee would”. And they will avoid talking about Citizens United when they are absolutely against following precedent. Republicans have the opposite views on any “decided issue”
* The meaning of “advise and consent” and the authority of the president are irrelevant. These will change the next time a Dem president makes a nomination.
Grandstanding Kabuki style outrage on top, rubber stamp below. Even a senator can figure this one out.
Capturing the hijinks for the August to November campaign season in a brief 74 words. Congratulations!
Now, let’s move on to the main event. Send someone to jail.
Our faux senators and representatives had better wake up. We did not elect them to subvert the president we elected to execute his (our) agenda.
The court requires a strict constitutionalist. Not a bipartisan deal maker, not a GOPe centrist, not a negotiator, not a defacto lawmaker.
The SC is there to rule strictly on the constitutionality of an issue, making no changes or modifications to the law or constitution to decide in favor of one side or the other.
No decision is inviolable. Any decision can be re-adjudicated at a later time. Only the Constitution is supreme except where the people vote to amend it.
Judges at all levels also need to be taught this lesson.
Praying you are right - it makes sense but then again we’re dealing with RINO politicians.
