Thanks! Found the following:
“Over American history the size of the court has varied,” Winkler said, “from six members to 10 members to seven members to nine members. There’s nothing magic about nine.”
With an eight-justice court, a majority decision requires a 5-3 vote. If the supreme court is deadlocked 4-4, the lower court’s decision in the case is upheld but it does not create a legal precedent.
“You are probably right, sadly. I can just hear Pierre Delecto and his tsk tsk voice.”
************************************************
Pierre Delecto would not hesitate to do something that would devastate our country just as he didn’t hesitate to repeated devastate the employees of the companies his Bain Capital acquired and sold off for “parts”.
Didn’t see a need for the sarcasm tag with it generally understood Kavanaugh was slandered for political motives
NO!!!!
Someone under 50!!!!

Perhaps. But if you are actually handed a strong chance to be on the Supreme Court and have to weigh it against a dicey chance to be president....I think he takes the gig.
“ Our corrupt Alaska senator says she will not vote on a nominee until after inauguration.”
Did she actually say “ until after inauguration.”? If so she is conceding or perhaps hoping her own party loses the election. If not she should have said she would not make a decision on whether or not to consider voting for a replacement until after the election results are known. As stated she is saying no vote until January even if Trump wins. What a beatch. Thanks a lot Alaskans. You guys need to stick your heads in the microwave and hit defrost to thaw your brains out. Seriously, we need to focus on getting electable replacements in AK, NV, UT, and MN, and the brain donor RINO voters in those states need to go.
Judge Janice Rogers Brown is on the DC circuit. I haven’t followed her record but in her speeches she seems to be more aligned with conservative/libertarian principles. Don’t know how she is since being appointed to the circuit court though.
I absolutely agree. This us no time for America to see President Trump blink. That’s what the left wants, to see a glimmer of anything approaching deference on the part of him. They will attack him like a crazed pack of dingoes. He must show his strength in the face of this situation. Condolences and continuity. With no apologies
This is true; definitely something different in the mix.
I suppose that might be possible, but I don't think he would have gone so long with his rally. He also would have likely delay it until he could make a statement. I've been watching the rally that he is only finishing up now.
If there is doubt about confirmation, McConnell can recess the Senate for over 3 days and the President can make a recess appointment who could serve through the end of the next Senate session. The recess appointment would not keep the Senate from working on confirmation of a permanent appointee who would replace the recess appointee upon confirmation.
So buzz off you annoying little crustacean.
“I’m not sure the Senate will have time to act on it. It could be PR just to make sure people know what’s at stake.”
The Senate WILL have time to act on this, just as the Dems would have time to act in a similar situation, after all, Dems have the power to DEEM things accomplished!
Trump couldn’t care less what the media says.
That's possible. But it could go the other way. It's too soon to say.
So agree! It was a chess move.
Count on that Tennessee RINO, Alexander, to gum up the works along with Murkowski, Collins, Romney, et al.
I know, I’m watching the rally which is about to end soon.
He’s just being bashful.
