Sonia Sotomayor needs to retire in the next two months.

[eggplant]

And the Senate should ram through her replacement.
Along with filling EVERY open judgeship.
And then we need to ship every weapon not bolted down to Ukraine.
And give them permission to use them anywhere.

Anything I miss?

1. That's not a bad idea.

Could Schumer muster enough support to get a replacement approved in time?

Your other ideas sound good, too. Time to play hard.

2. The Senate will not do this

the current Senate will never vote for this. Manchin and Sinema

5. That would have to be worked out in advance.

Credible commitments from Manchin and Sinema. Yeah not likely.

Two years from now 22 Republican seats up for reelection, but if you look at the states, it doesn't seem much of an improvement is likely.

Maybe someone can convince me otherwise and cheer me up but I think the only positive change would have to wait for 2028.

Maybe Thomas or Alito will resign and be replaced before then by some kind of replicant, but it's hard to imagine it would be worse.

Then again, I've found a lot of things hard to imagine lately.

3. lol never happening

[marble falls]

4. So Sen Ertl McTurtle (Repugnent- KY) Can refuse to fill a lame duck President's empty SCOTUS seats, again? ...

... she'd better eat plenty of fiber and get eight hours of sleep nightly, planning on staying at least four more years!

[MOJohn]

6. No way Manchin would play ball.

I just hope trump doesn't get 3 more before 2028. Or worst case, they expand the court.

7. Hell no! What fn dream would repubs let that happen!?!🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

8. God why is our side always have the health issues?

I know I am ranting.
