An old SCOTUS reads the prevailing political winds and retires so the president can nominate someone from his side of the political spectrum.
Please some smart lawyer, remind me again why term limits for SCOTUS, with each president getting to nominate 1 justice per 4 year term, could possibly be any worse than what we have now."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

Apparently the shortlist includes Ketanji Brown Jackson and Leondra Kruger. Biden made a campaign promise that his first nomination (if he had the chance) would be an African American woman.
Apparently, Jackson is the more progressive of the two so I assume she gets the nomination. I doubt there will be any Dem resistance and certainly a couple of GOP senators will vote to co firm as well.

Seriously! I mean-- we're almost to midterms! How can we allow the current legislation to confirm the pick when We The People have yet to weigh in?!Originally posted by falafel View Post

Hard disagree! Look at the relaxing or even changing norms around the Garland and Barrett's nominations. And now democrats are saying they're going to use the same timetable as the republicans did with Barrett.Originally posted by Moliere View Post

I don't get this. I'm not smart.

The justices should retire before they die. I mean, RBG was barely breathing for the last decade of her life. Maybe having justices that don’t think too highly of themselves would be a start.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View Post

Interesting fact: Jackson is related to former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan by marriage. I would think she has the advantage sitting on an Appeals Court versus Kruger who serves CA Supreme Court. Also, Jackson clerked for Beyer.Originally posted by USUC View PostApparently the shortlist includes Ketanji Brown Jackson and Leondra Kruger.
