But the bet is on. I will not lose.

Notorious ban evader "The Unkle" claims to have honor.

How many screen names have you been through at this point?

Shouldn't you be out getting your 6th booster or harassing some kids who is not wearing his mask in a manner up to your standards?

Serious question. How many people are well qualified for SCOTUS?

I would guess probably a dozen.

The idea there is ONE most qualified person is beyond silly.

There are at least 100 and probably more. US circuit courts have about 170 judges, and there are some others who are well qualified.

Here is who is not qualified. Clarence Thomas.

He is the outlier of outliers. So far to the right he has fallen off the bench into lala land with his rulings. In one of the most recent court decisions pertaining to the Jan 6 release of documents pertaining to the actions of the former guy he was the lone judge that wanted to block the release of said documents.

“One drop” rule?

Chilling.

Biden will nominate Judge Brown Jackson (she clerked for Breyer and has already been vetted per her elevation to the Circuit Court of Appeals). Manchin and Sinema will claim that she is too far to the left and vote against her. Manchin and Sinema will demand a centrist judge that will get Republican support because bipartisanship is so important. Biden will nominate a centrist judge who will then go on the bench at the Supreme Court and turn hard to the right. That is just how inept and pathetic the corporate Dems are.

Far more qualified than Elena Kagan.

And after recent comments on Covid, Sotomayor too

This is just the latest example of him disagreeing with other conservative Justices. And I cannot think of any example where I agreed with him over other conservatives.

Her mother immigrated to the United States from Jamaica[4] and her late father was an American Jew.[5]

50% is one drop?

Truly chilling

It does not really matter who is on the Supreme Court, They all are Objective, Fair, Neutral, and base decisions on the Constitution.

Think of it like an umpire at a Baseball Game, or Referee at a Football or Basketball Game, They do not go in favoring one team over the other they just do their best to be fair to both teams based on rules of the game, they do not care who wins they are Neutral, Same with SCOTUS.

Most ridiculous thing ever written here. All the SC jurists have prejudices. Many are highly partisan.

Of course you find Kagan unqualified.

Wouldn’t ANYTHING be better than Kamala Harris? I’m ashamed to have voted for that laughing hyena. Her recent interviews have become an embarrassment.

If you go back to the late 1960s, you'll see that court nominations have been opposed on many occasions, even prior to Bork--who was so radical he had to be opposed.

I haven't looked more into her background, but the frontrunner Ketanji Brown Jackson is extremely qualified, 9 years on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, Harvard University undergraduate, Harvard Law. Biden's making use of a demographic whose talents have never before been recognized on the court and accordingly whose interests have hardly been considered.
