Let's see if Biden actually gets to seat someone.

Can’t wait for Sinema to vote no for no reason at all.

Or for Manchin to vote no because of lack of bipartisan support for the nominee.

Is there any way that the appointment isn't Ketanji Brown Jackson? I guess if Manchin/Sinema refuse to vote for her?

It needs to be someone who can be on the court for 30 years.

You'll have been screaming for him to retire since Jan 20th of last year. Don't complain now that you've got your wish.

Personally, I wish him a long and happy retirement.

Prior to 2006,[5] Breyers was known for producing ice cream with a small number of all-natural ingredients.

In recent years,[when?] as part of cost-cutting measures since their move from Green Bay, Wisconsin, to Unilever's U.S. headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey,[6] Unilever has reformulated many of its flavors with nontraditional, additive ingredients, significantly changing the taste and texture of their desserts as a result.[5] Following similar practices by several of their competitors, and to the consternation of many former customers,[5] Breyers' list of ingredients has expanded to include thickeners, low-cost sweeteners, food coloring and low-cost additives — including natural additives such as tara gum[7] and carob bean gum;[8] artificial additives such as maltodextrin and propylene glycol;[9] and common artificially separated and extracted ingredients such as corn syrup, whey, and others.[8][9] An ingredient list for Breyers Frozen Dairy Dessert may now include up to forty ingredients . . .

One result of these cost-cutting practices has been that many (but not all) of Breyers' products no longer contain enough milk and cream to meet labeling requirements for ice cream, and are now labeled "Frozen Dairy Dessert" in the United States[10] and "Frozen Dessert" in Canada.[11][12]

The die was cast when Turtlefuck denied Obama and got his conservative majority 5v4 for the next 20+ years.

Even if Biden can seat someone (unlikely) it will still be a 6v3 for 30+ years on anything that matters.

This kind of is why this thread is pretty doom and gloom as of the last year.

Thomas is 73 and Alito is 71; Scalia died in his late 70s so 30+ years might be a bit overstating it.

Howeverrrr, McConnell has absolutely politicized the Court, and it will likely become the norm for justices 75+ (or having a history of health issues) to retire once their party is in the White House to be replaced by a 40-year-old, so optimistically we might have a 4-5 split at some point.

I don’t see why the stops have to come out for a Breyer replacement. 6-3 is still 6-3 and a nice quiet appointment takes the heat off of the conservatives while they continue Leo Leonard’s policy agenda.

Evil Fluffy posted:

Because 6-3 is not 7-2. Which could then become 8-1 and ultimately 9-0. If you think McConnell wouldn't pull the trigger himself to ensure a 9-0 conservative SCOTUS you haven't been paying attention.

That is true of McConnell, but Collins and Romney and the like, let alone Manchin or Sinema, are not gonna stick their necks out to oppose a reasonable Biden pick when they've already solidly won the court.
