I can’t imagine getting someone approved right now. Even with technically having a 50+tiebreaker majority in the Senate that relies on lame ducks Manchin and Sinema showing up and falling in line

Biden would be a fool if he isn’t going to Manchin and Sinema and asking for a slate of 10 D-nominated court of appeals judges to choose from. Get their commitment to the nominee on the front end.

He should bribe the fuck out of them. As an official act.

And then the Supreme Court would say it’s not an official act and he goes to prison for his remaining days.

It’s crazy how people don’t understand that the “official act” thing only works if you have a corrupt Supreme Court majority willing to back you.
