Re: Twitter rumor: If Lee, Cruz, or Cotton were nominated what they could be instantly seated, no advice and consent needed. Probably BS but one wonders, after Trump recently added those three names to his shortlist.
I think the tradition is that there wouldn’t be hearings - it would just go straight to up or down vote. Still advice and consent, but without the craziness.

Since Amy pretty recently had hearings and was appointed, I wonder if the hearings could be avoided or curtailed if she is the nominee?
Wouldn’t it be a /stick in the eye/ from ACB if she simply replied, (reading from notes) “I answered that question in my previous hearing on [date]. And. it appears that question was asked by you, Senator.”
Sort of an “asked and answered” response.
I do recall several feminazi-types asking ACB to expound on her views (usually NOT her legal views) about abortion and R.v.W.
That will be direction of the schmear if ACB is the nom.
