If the Judiciary Committee holds up the nomination of Biden’s strong, independent woman of color it will be a real media sh!tshow. I hope this happens. I will have the popcorn ready. Please don’t cave on us, Linda.

"If all 11 Republican members of the Judiciary Committee oppose Biden’s pick and all 11 Democrats back her, the nomination goes inert."

Yeah, good luck with that. That'll never happen with Grassley, Graham, Sasse, Lee, Cornyn, Cotton, Tillis, and Blackburn. They all voted to accept Biden's electors.

Elliot is simply incorrect about the procedure. He can’t read the power sharing agreement and doesn’t understand Cloture Rules.

They are trying to stir up the trailer park crowd with this make believe.

The power-sharing agreement anticipated tied votes in committee.

Notice Elliot doesn’t link to the action agreement.

The GOP doesn’t have any way to stop a judicial nomination, the nuclear option was already triggered there.

The word is, Biden will nominate Camila Harris as Breyer’s replacement. That takes her dead ass off the VP position.

Harris’ replacement? My thinking: Start with der Hildebeast!

This take is dumber than dogshit. The Over/Under on GOP Senators to confirm Judge Brown Jackson is +/-15: Bishop Dullard, Collins, Shelby, Murkowski, Burr, Portman, Lee, McSally, Crapo, Barrasso, Daines, Scott, Perdue, Gardner, and Miotch.

“...they need to get it finished before the elections and they will not have the votes to get the idiot (??) confirmed.”

Sure they will, unless the midterms are a complete wipeout. Romney, Murkowski, Collins, and Graham are not going anywhere.

I doubt we are picking up five seats in the Senate.

Rs won’t pull out all the stops while replacing a lib with a lib. Balance of the SC doesn’t change much at all.

Agreed, unless Ds nominate some wacko Soros DA.

2 black female judges mentioned have legit credentials, if not strict constitutionalists.

“They are trying to stir up the trailer park crowd with this make believe.”

Great point, and it will probably work, even here.

My Prediction:

RINO!!!!! Why didn’t you block her???? I’m never voting Republican again!!!!! RINO!!!!!
RINO!!!!! RINO!!!!! RINO!!!!! RINO!!!!! RINO!!!!! RINO!!!!!
RINO!!!!! RINO!!!!! RINO!!!!! RINO!!!!! RINO!!!!! RINO!!!!!

Leotard Lindsey will fall all over himself to vote for whoever the nominee is and no matter how radical.

It’s the Republicans. They’ll step on their Johnsons just trying to sit still.
