The lineup will be:

LIBERALS — Kagan, Breuer, Sotomayor

CONSERVATIVES — Alito, Thomas, Barrett, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch.

And then there is John Roberts, who knows what he is.

Breyer is next. He's 82 years old. If Trump wins, my bet is he announces his retirement soon. He's not going to hang around another 4 years - there's no guarantee a democrat will win in four years.

Also up for consideration is Justice Thomas who is 72. If he wants out before his health sours, I'll bet he wants Trump to name his successor.

From one perspective, he is developing a new center on the court with the Chief Justice. Kavanaugh voted with Roberts more often than any other justice, sticking with the chief 94% of the time.

From Inside Brett Kavanaugh’s First Term: Time magazine.

Not that encouraging.

I stand by 3 conservatives, 3 moderates, 3 leftists.

The demons are in a frenzy. Let us continue praying for the process, Amy Come Barrett and her family and all those candidates and those in leadership positions who espouse patriotism and righteousness for our nation.

If they do that will it take? What can the Republicans do if that happens?

I hope Breyer is next to go. He’s about 81.

she will most likely be legally sworn in shortly after the vote with a formal dog & pony show swearing in tomorrow morning.

I think thats how it was with Kav or Gorsuch.

If the Dems are all no-shows, what difference is it to them if Pence shows up?

Yeah, the whining Lefties are claiming it will be 6-3, as if Roberts is a real conservative. It’s probably mostly a fundraising strategy.

Roberts will pull the old RINO trick, voting with the majority and hiding in the weeds, hoping for the future chance to f*&^ us over...again...when it really matters.

VP Pence should be there in the Senate with a giant, sh!t-eating grin.

It is time to dunk on those commie bastards.

Y’all are welcome. IMHO, posting this “live” thread was done way too early since the vote doesn’t come till 7 tonight. There are several links. But all the links are showing reruns of the nomination hearings from last week. Lots of confusion.
