Looks like it will be Ketanji.

You watching the DC Circuit decision timing tea leaves?

Yep. I guess Clyburn will go along.

[Winterborn]

And Manchin makes a case to Biden for Judge Childs.

Biden to nominate Jackson

[Winterborn]

Biden to nominate Jackson

Just saw it on CNN. Ivy read the tea leaves right.

[Ibanez]

I'm shocked. Are you shocked? That's shocking...


Will Childs take Jackson's seat?

She’s more qualified than a couple sitting justices anyway

Kagan comes to mind

I'm not thrilled with this. It's not a HORRIBLE pick, but it DOES perpetuate the stupid idea that you can't get on SCOTUS if you don't go to an Ivy or Ivy-like law school. Childs went to a public school and is doing great things in SC; that alone would have made her a better pick than Jackson. This seems more about Biden trying to maintain independence from Clyburn than about picking the best candidate....

That ruins her chances

I preferred Childs too

But not even Clyburn can affect the progressives’ influence on Biden… they have a ring through his nose.

The up side to all this is in less than a year he’ll be a lame duck with only a veto. And in 2 years we will start 20 years of having normals in charge

Amy Coney Barrett went to Notre Dame, so we just recently picked a non-Ivy League justice. Brown Jackson is a good pick, she's a top notch judge and comes to the table with the right amount of intellectual heft. I wouldn't want to penalize her and not bring on a good judge just because she went to Harvard. There are some good people that come out of Harvard.

Don't jinx it!

And I will never underestimate the power of Republicans to screw up.

Agreed. I have no complaints with Kagan, but Sotomayor is a trainwreck of a judge at this point.

Did you go to Harvard??

Did you go to Harvard??

Depends on which day you ask me.

Are those days related to when they send out notices asking for donations?

Yeah, on those days, I went to Ball State!

Actually, most of my dispute with Harvard is political. That’s a big surprise, right? I haven’t given Harvard a dime in over 15 years, but I do keep up with a few members of my class.

[Ibanez]

Right on cue...Lady G has a problem.

[SeattleGriz]

She tried to touch my weiner at a house party I don't even remember when or where, but she did it!

Now what? I think Jackson will still get the GOP votes of Murkowski and Collins, if not more.

No, SG, that was Rachel Maddow.

It was something about her being far left. McConnel says it's about dark money.
