Kamala…

That's my guess. She ticks off the stupid boxes for gender and race. She ticks off everybody. It would get her out of the electoral arena after confirmation.

Most importantly, Lekso Brandon bought a Kamala coffee mug yesterday when he went out for ice cream.

Perhaps, if Kamala gets nominated, Hilary will be slotted into the VP vacancy?

Not a chance. None in history of the nation to my knowledge.

Yep, great way out of their conundrum for 2024. She resigns, takes the SC gig, Biden can appoint, Hillary, Buttigeg, Rice, the sky’s the limit.

This simply means that the Democrats are resigned to losing the Senate in November.

she can’t be the nominee AND the voting president of the Senate at the same time.

Why can't she? She can't be Supreme Court Justice AND Vice-President. But if she's nominated she can continue in her current role up until she resigns to fill the new one.

Clinton is not going to be VP.

It’ll just be a change out. One libtard for another.

It will not be Kamala. They'd plane crash her before they'd put that unloved idiot on the Supreme Court.

She only got the Veep slot because she was less gross than Stacey Abrams, the only other eligible black woman in the party.

Unlike most FReepers, I certainly think it IS theoretically possible that a RAT president could accidentally put a stealth conservative-leaning justice on the Supreme Court (and Woodrow Wilson & JFK DID in fact do that, resulting in the RAT base gritting their teeth in rage years later). That being said, it’s still HIGHLY unlikely a RAT president would do so, because they look for proven, committed idealogical purists, UNLIKE our side. I can’t imagine a RAT president going “I don’t care what her PERSONAL views are on abortion or gun rights, hell if she’s a lifelong member of Gun Owners of America that doesn’t matter! I just need a judge with the right JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY so I’m gonna have People for the American Way draw me up a list of judges who SAY they believe in social justice. That’s all the evidence we need!”

THey have to push it through before they lose the Senate.

The question is if any Dems will oppose a total whackjob

Can’t be her. Dems need her to break any ties

For SCOTUS: Count on Lindsay Graham and Romney to vote for a Kamala Harris SCOTUS position.

For everything else: The Dems have lost a tie vote by abusing Manchin and Sinema. Lesko Brandon will nominate Pete Butt to replace Kammie as VP.

No change, except what’s old is young again

And without any filibuster they can so as whacko as they want to as long as they can get Sinema and Manchin onboard.

To every FReeper that sent me a response. The gop and rats are able to do it. When they want.

All I ask is that they at least fight back. Stonewall, stall, and prove that they are capable of leading us out of the Bidendarkenss.
