WASHINGTON—Explaining that they were under a tight deadline, Senate Republicans told reporters Monday they were rushing to confirm six more Supreme Court justices before the election. “We’ve been moving so fast with the Amy Coney Barrett confirmation because there are six more sets of hearings and votes we want to finish within the next week,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, noting that Republicans wanted to make sure, while they still held power to sidestep any Democrat complaints, that they curated a diverse selection of nuanced conservative opinions on the court to rule for the next few decades. “We’re already planning to double up on a couple of the hearings by simultaneously questioning a judge from Virginia with two months of experience and some other judge I’ve never heard of but who’s already been vetted by the Federalist Society. Hopefully, all six are confirmed and sitting on the bench before the American people have their say at the polls.” At press time, all six conservative justices had been confirmed to the Supreme Court and Republican senators had announced they were going to try to fit in 10 more spontaneous confirmations before election day.\n

theonion has been running more woke plaintive wails than humor lately.

This the best looking photo of Mitch Mcconnell I can recall.

donsteele LOL!

And THAT is why Joe Biden is not revealing whether he will expand the court until at least January 6th. The Republicans WOULD just vote on 6 new justices (or more) during a lame duck session if Biden even HINTS at the idea at expanding the court.

Amy Coney Barrett Set to Be Confirmed as Supreme Court JusticeThe Senate is set to confirm Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett. Her nomination cleared a procedural hurdle on Sunday, setting up a final vote for Monday evening that is expected to expand a 6-3 conservative majority on the court. Nope, 5-4 cause Roberts is a bonehead. whats funny is that mitch mcconnel that he is committing political suicide; as so he eluded to when speaking at the chair. yet, suicide is alright for him, just as his cult leader would have it. And the GOP complains about Biden and court packing... ridiculous

It recounts the details of the 2009-2010 health care fight. • The Senate will vote to confirm Amy Coney Barrett this evening.
