We have until January to replace and confirm any aging SCOTUS justices who may retire.

Republicans cannot regain control of the Senate until at least 2032.

Remember to tell this to everyone that decided to (punish) the GOP this election.

The chance is gone. If they try that Democrats will cut a deal: We won’t pack the court if you replace them with consensus justices.

Sounds like something Trump should have thought before launching a war of choice in the Middle East…after campaigning on no Middle East wars.

0% chance you could get it done in under 60 days

Thune and Grassley will refuse to do that. They will do nothing between and January. The Republican Leaders want to punt and let the Democrats run things.

Does the establishment get any blame for Tuesday or we just going to blame the American voters?

At some point the right has to take responsibility for not being in touch, running absolute clown campaigns, not having any ground game at all when Trump with Kirk’s help put on a ground game display that worked.

Some blame is eventually going to have to be taken by the party for failing the voters. Letlow barely won and she played the Biden basement game but others on the right did that and lost.

So we can blame the voters or we could figure out how to actually get votes.

Anyone remember the ACB confirming process. That was pretty quick but done with a different Congress and before the 2020 election.

It could be done, but the Senate is so slow it takes them 24 hours to watch 60 minutes.

hard to say with how the pendulum swings, the left gets in power and does nothing or goes too far too soon and they lose again or risk making it so bad that a hit civil war breaks out.

They also could hand Vance a path to the White House in 28 by impeaching Trump. After 2024 we were all saying the left was dead in the ditch and here we are 2 years later. We could be in a cycle where once someone has power they can’t hold it.

The biggest issue we face outside of the top of the right having no clue how to win an election is the left getting governorships and being able to run massive fraud. It’s clear the right isn’t going to learn how to play dirty.

Also, fill any U.S. District Court vacancies.

Exactly.. b/c if the Repugs pull that type of shenanigans over the next 8 weeks- it will give every incentive (rightly) to the Dems to take the Supreme Court over the next 6 or 8 years and PACK IT, STACK IT, SHELLACK IT AND TALLYWHACK IT... we will have like 18 justices, not even exaggerating .. and they will NOT lean the way that you want them to lean .

Yes. They wanted to lose. I don’t think they wanted to be nuked though.

Agreed, Johnson and Thune will call a vote to let Congress take early holidays and go home next week until after New Years...

The typical gas bro doesnt even know what the Supreme Court is, much less care who is on it. They want cheap gas and if pro murder Dems promise it to them then they are all in baby.

The gutless Republicans wouldn't have been able to confirm anyone worthwhile anyway since 4 or 5 of them would insist he nominate another rino cuck like them who would get on their knees whenever told to do so.

Sounds like something the voters, or the ones who stayed home, should have thought of instead of being so shortsighted and ignorant.

This is what happens when people don’t learn civics and suffer from TDS.

Trump has two years left, now as a lame duck. What happened yesterday fricked us all for at least 6 years.
