The Ds do not want this SC Nominee but they can't say so or they face the wrath of the Black Voters.

Either way, it works for me if HeSheIt is not approved.

Actually, that’s not necessarily true. The law isn’t actually clear on that. The VP can break a tie on “legislation”, since this isn’t legislation, it isn’t clear if VP can break a tie for court nominees.

It’s never happened so it has never been tested. We shall see.

Hope it’s correct.

Personally, I never even understood the legal theory that produced a nomination for the Supreme Court without an actual vacancy.

It doesn’t say legislation in the constitution. It simply says ties.

The clear disconnect to still be invested in these systems is mind boggling to me. It's like being fixated on your loose snowshoe as the avalanche is ripping through the ground in front of you.

It's end game folks. Focus energies elsewhere.

I agree there are those that hold that, but it wouldn’t stand, I don’t think, if ruled on by scotus.

The constitution says only this:

“The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.”

It is not in the section about legislation but that of information.

So, I think scotus would see it not restricted.

it’s now a certainty the full senate would confirm KJB, but the question remains; what about the 11-11 committee. ....in particular Tillis.

I suppose squish Lindsey was a question, but after he walked out last week, I assumed he was a no.

No one’s talking about the committee vote, probably because mainstream media is trying to wash away any possibility she could be frozen out.
