Nuke pption is now ok for judges. Jarry reid started that. McConnell continued it. Unless schumer really doesn’t want the lady, she’s a lock. If they don’t nuke it, then schumer wants the other black lady, but he gets to blame it on McConnell.
I forgot. 50/50 tie gets broken by harris.
“no ties” in this case, except in the judiciary committee, if the 11 tie holds and buries the nomination.
An appeal override to senate then would require 60.
With Romney and Graham already announced as "yes", why are you talking about a 50/50 tie?
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.
