Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted January 27, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 27, 2022 Worried about the GOP doing what the dems did during the last 3 SC confirmation hearings. We need civility now. https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/27/politics/joe-biden-supreme-court-nominee-fight/index.html (CNN)The last thing an internally estranged America needs is an alienating Supreme Court confirmation battle. But that's almost certainly what lies ahead following Justice Stephen Breyer's decision to retire. President Joe Biden's first high court pick will create a moment of promise for a struggling administration, offers Senate Democrats a badly needed shot at unity and could shatter another glass ceiling since Biden plans to nominate a Black woman. And despite the narrowness of their Senate majority, it should be reasonably simple for Democrats to confirm a new justice swiftly, without any Republican votes, before they risk losing the chamber in the midterm elections. A drama-free Supreme Court process could enhance the tattered image of Congress, help a President whose approval ratings are tumbling and do some good to the tarnished reputation of a court increasingly tangled in politics. Biden also has some hope of picking up a few Republican votes for his nominee. Maine Sen. Susan Collins, who voted for the last two Justices seated by a Democratic president, told reporters on Wednesday there was no rush to confirm the eventual pick and called for a methodical vetting process. And since replacing Breyer, a liberal, will not shift the court's 6-3 conservative balance, it might seem that the stakes are lower this time. But such hopes ignore the corrosive impact of recent nomination fights -- which ended with Democrats accusing the GOP of stealing seats and conservatives claiming nominees endured character assassination. Then there are legacy scars of Supreme Court battles deeper in the past, some involving the President himself, which may have some conservatives plotting revenge. Political fury that has raged through the fight against Covid-19 has meanwhile brewed a fetid political mood hardly conducive to magnanimous hearings. And the midterm elections in November mean that senators have every incentive to play to the most fervent activist voters in each party before the television cameras.

Carlos Danger Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I think Biden has already put his foot in his mouth over this. Why would you say you are only going to be looking at black women for the empty seat? Even if the candidate he ends up picking is highly qualified and worthy of the position it casts doubt simply because the pick was routed in racisms.
