I doubt he will vote against a nominee, especially with breyers decision -i imagine he wouldn't have made this decision without good reason Manchin and Sinema would support a nominee.

Either way, breyer stays until a replacement is made. I imagine he could reverse his decision if there is no replacement for the entirety of Biden's term. But that seems very unlikely.

Will this be a situation where VP Harris breaks a tie, or doesn't that apply ? Budi Jan 2022 #3

Probably. I think that's something she's done frequently with the fed courts ColinC Jan 2022 #5

Thanks. Should it come to a tie breaker, we have our Ace ready to play. Budi Jan 2022 #16

Manchin voted to confirm Boof Boy to the SC. Yet voted against the Coney Hot Dog. Could it be Autumn Jan 2022 #7

He voted for plenty of women in the federal courts already ColinC Jan 2022 #9

Well, Joe Manchin was up for re-election in 2018 when he voted for Kavanaugh In It to Win It Jan 2022 #10

Mnchin will do what he wants to do. Autumn Jan 2022 #12

Nah, it's because voting against Boof boy wouldn't have changed the outcome AZSkiffyGeek Jan 2022 #20

I think it is pretty clear Manchin and Sinema will do whatever is best for them. Act_of_Reparation Jan 2022 #13

Would they really want the limelight on why the voted for somebody ColinC Jan 2022 #18

Depends on how they spin the limelight. Torchlight Jan 2022 #19

Manchin has voted for almost every dem appelate court nominee ColinC Jan 2022 #21

Again, it does not follow. Torchlight Jan 2022 #23
