Whomever Biden is going to put in will be around 50 years old more or less.
Trump’s picks were all-around 50 years old or younger.
It’s the pragmatic thing to do. Try and get those 30 plus years on the court with the pick.
ISNT THAT RASIS?
Another incompetent, hack, ideolog from the demo-commies.
“Bongino had a very good argument against Kamala today. He said she’d never make it through any questioning, because of how she’s handled the press lately with her idiotic, and juvenile answers. “
Maybe, but will she get hard questions? She is a former member of the Senate Club, and that group has always protected their own.”
Rand Paul and Ted Cruz alone should terrify the dimocrats and kamala.
GOP senators should remember, and remind media and us, that it was Biden who changed the routine with Bork. GOP attacks here shouldn’t be looked at as attacks on the nominees, they should be looked at as payback on the nominator.
1. Biden nominates K Harris, who is quickly confirmed.
2. Almost in parallel, Biden picks HR Clinton to be his new VP and she is confirmed quickly as well.
3. Biden resigns within 60 days of these shifts in personnel.
4. HRC makes these cabinet changes ...
Larry Summers at Treasury
Eric Holder as AG
Terry McAuliffe as WH Chief of Staff
A credible Dem hawk as Secretary of Defense (???)
A surprise young middle-of-the-roader as Sec of State
This is all in place before Labor Day. Dems go on to take HUGE losses in November, but not a complete wipeout; and the Dems have a path forward coming out of these elections.
Durham will pose huge problems for POTUS HRC, which is the whole reason for having Holder as AG, McAuliffe as chief of staff and Pelosi as House minority leader. That is her wall.
HRC is a psychopath, but she has the biggest c*jones of any possible Biden replacement; and the country is getting walked over in so many ways that this is an important quality.
Anita Hill, born July 30, 1956. She’s 65.
How would Clinton get 51 votes in the Senate?
She was appointed to the DC District Court by a 53-44 vote. Manchin, Sinema, Graham, Murkowski and Collins all voted to approve her.
How would Clinton get 51 votes in the Senate (to be the VP replacing SCOTUS Justice Harris)?
If K Harris is confirmed but then waits to succeed Breyer until the current term ends, I wonder if Dems will assert that she sticks around as VP and can vote on her replacement.
As a practical matter, though, I suspect that the Dems will need 1-3 RINOs to buy in to this plan. Would Sanders, for example, go along with a major shift toward the center?
Also, having a non-lame duck N Pelosi as House Speaker is their insurance policy if HRC’s VP nomination craters.
‘Hey, Cocaine Mitch, pick your poison: HRC or Nancy P.’
I noticed the same two things, nice to know I wasn’t the only one.
And here she is:

Surprised still no thread on it.
Looks like a likely stealth extremist, but perhaps her health/longevity not forecast to be so high:

Clearly trying to duck her in and through amidst all the disaster distractions.
Harvard with honors and clerked for a SCOTUS justice.
Personally, I think *any* POTUS should get their nominee for anything by default unless the person is *technically* (not ideologically) unqualified; a view that pisses off both my liberal and conservative friends; I’d change the rules to make it 66 votes against, that would drive ideologs of left and right batsh!t crazy.
Even if they repeatedly get knocked down on appeal for Constitution-related positions?
That might be legitimate, or it might not.
Yep, I read it, and several other things.
My opinion towards Democrats who had a problem with ACB or Kavanaugh was exactly the same- do they have an appropriate degree and do they have professional experience? IMHO those, and things like no criminal record or basic background stuff, should be the only criteria. Just my opinion. The Democrats screwed up the entire process with Bork; it should be exceedingly difficult, bordering on the impossible, to deny a POTUS their picks; partisanship should stop at two places: the ‘water’s edge’ and the courtroom door.
HOw about if there’s no chance in Hades that the other side follows those guidelines?
(Of course, our side only serves up disguised, compromised, uniparty Justices anyway...)
