How does an asterisk affect the SCJ's?

It does not even make sense


Judge Thomas delivered an impassioned opening statement, referring to the proceedings as “a circus” and “a high-tech lynching.” Ultimately, the Senate voted 52-48 to confirm Justice Thomas on October 15, and he serves on the Court today--29 years later, but with a grossly unfair asterisk next to his name.




Yet again, Democrats and their allies on the left succeeded in unfairly putting an asterisk next to another Republican-appointed Supreme Court justice’s name, which Ford’s attorney Debra Katz later admitted was Ford’s goal.


Can somebody help me understand?

Brother, if you haven't figured out that Democrats are crazy; twisting and manipulating things to justify in their little minds a reason to get out of bed each day I don't know what to tell you.

Senate judiciary needs to spring a surprise vote tomorrow, with McConnel ready to within hours of it.

Short circuit whatever shite the Dems have coming in hot.

It doesn't. There is no asterisk. Thomas is just as much a USSC Justice as Scalia with his 98-0 vote.

BTW, imagine Scalia getting that vote today...
