    zeynep tufekci Retweeted Claire McCaskill

    What more power does one get than appointing a 43 year old to the nation’s highest court? Rest in peace RGB, but I don’t understand this false comfort. Power is what power does, not some number you write on a paper and lock up in a drawer.https://twitter.com/clairecmc/status/1307107288742801410 …

    Everyone take a deep breath. McConnell wants power. Period. Forcing this vote before Nov 3 guarantees he loses the Senate. Forcing this vote lame duck probably loses them more seats in 2022. (Portman,Toomey,Rubio,Iowa, etc).

        How are pundits so thoroughly committed to being so useless?

        Appointing a 43 year old to Supreme Court and having Biden take over and appoint two 43 year olds to the newly expanded Supreme Court isn't much power tho

        Murkowski and Collins have explicitly said they won't do it. Romney won't. Gardner is up for re-election in a blue state. 53 - 4 = 49. Bet you $100 it doesn't happen.

        For Republicans, appointing judges is the whole point of winning elections. No way Trump and McConnell don’t ram someone through. Even if they lose in November they still control the courts for the next 30 years.

        McCaskill is worth millions and is in a class strata that will face zero discomfort from generations of ultra conservative SCOTUS decisions

        Murkowski is already on record as a no. Are there 3 more GOP Senators with the same principles?
