I’m OK with Harris. Not thrilled, but OK.
It would have been nice to get Warren. Sanders has the same age issue (though is still mentally there in interviews) as Biden, and that window has closed. So many people at the federal level have clung to their positions for so long, it feels like as a country, we wouldn’t be familiar with people in the primes of their life actually running the show.
At 45, I shouldn’t still be waiting for my generation to have any level of power. AARP is coming for me in 10 years.
I don’t want a liberal justice removed from the court for any reason.
Republican shitbags will find some traitor-ass senator to help them block the replacement, the vacancy will ramp up right-wing voters like crazy, and we’ll end up with another Trump term AND a 7/2 conservative SCOTUS.
Agreed. There’s bad ideas, and then there’s this.
Have we seriously not learned “never get a liberal justice off the court in an election year”? Only slightly less famous is “don’t get involved in a land war in Asia.”
It’d be a replay of RBG all over again “we can’t confirm a new justice now, the people need to vote first”.
