“Of course, the real test will come if the next Sup Court pick is made by a Republican president, and if that president comes through with a conservative nomination. Schumer allegedly reassured some fellow Dems about Casey Jr by saying he would be good (i.e. bad) on judges, so it will be interesting to see how he acts when the time comes.”
Absolutely. If he joins the filibuster party and chooses to not be another Ben Nelson, then he’s really not much better than Harry Reid.
I believe he is more Ben Nelso than Harry Reid for sure!
If Casey supports Bush nominees to SCOTUS then I will take a huge sigh of relief. It sure would be nice to have more than 1 Dem vote on the close ones.
Casey will ABSOLUTE CARRY THE PARTY LINE when he has plausible deniability.. IE Judge confirmations.
When its a blatant issue about abortion without political cover he’ll not go for it, because he knows if he does he won’t get re-elected.
But don’t think for one minute Casey Jr. is his father.. he’s not. He’ll tow the party line when he has to.
Well, in his campaign, he endorsed Alito’s confirmation.
If he wanted to pull the typical Democratic position, all he had to say was “no comment”.
