Im just thankful Trump lost those two Georgia Senate Seats- should make it much easier for Biden to replace him.

Now they can make it up to Garland.

McConnell will be like - no way we can confirm a new justice in a midterm election year !!!

Here's to feeling good all the time. :

It would be imprudent to seat a justice when the presidential election is three years out!

No confirmation of a SCOTUS just during an election year.

He needs to go.

They may. It’s not up to McConnell but them.

I doubt it. Dude is the AG and is getting older by the minute. I’m guessing Biden will pick someone in their 50s

That and it will be a black woman as well.

It’s his turn.

I’m getting my longshot prediction in now.

But McConnell will have ■■■■ all to do with controlling a floor vote until 2023, so Manchin and Sinema are the ones to flex their muscles.

Why would they?

If they do. Because they don’t love the nominee.

Now there’s a criteria!

Possible but my bets are on someone younger. We’ll see.

WuWei · 2022-01-26T17:32:42.847Z

They won’t.
