And if you may know; Romney voted AGAINST her for the appellate court. So it makes you wonder, why a no-go for the appellate court where SCOTUS can over rule a bad call on her part bur, she's suddenly okay as part of SCOTUS who cannot be overruled?

I expected nothing less from these America-hating turncoats. FTATHTRIO... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Well, the commie is in, no thanks to Collins, Murkowski, and Mittens. https://www.foxnews.com/politi...ackson-supreme-court "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

Spiffy. So now we have a Supreme Court Justice that can't distinguish between a man and a woman. Thank goodness for that.    | |||

Well, I had lost all respect for the legislative and executive branches of government, why not add the judicial branch to the list. An affirmative action hire for the highest court in the land.

So when does Breyer plan to retire? What is her title until he retires? Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Here's Romney, at the 30 sec mark of the video, standing ovation for this rotten commie. https://www.breitbart.com/poli...cksons-confirmation/ "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

Breyer steps down later this summer. Until then, Ms. Brown rides the bench. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns. And several dogs, because a man with a cat is a woman. Kurt Schlichter | |||

I've been wondering why the Senate held hearings when there wasn't an opening. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

They wanted to get her confirmed before they lost the Senate in November. It was probable that the current Senate would vote to confirm, but one firmly in Republicann control probably would not. Justice Breyer's step down was going to be too close to the Election and waiting for that would have delayed hearings until afterward. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Sooo, they moved forward with the Nomination and Confirmation of a Supreme Court Justice for a vacancy/seat that does NOT exist... ____________________________________________________________ If Some is Good, and More is Better.....then Too Much, is Just Enough !!

This was the point of my original question. What is she now? What if he decides he's feeling great and he wants to do one more year? Is she just the permanent 'on deck' justice? If that's the case once we win the Senate back can we nominate the 'in the whole' and 'deep hole' batters? Could we just set the batting order for the next century since presumably others will retire or die? In my mind there should be a vacancy in order to fill a supreme court vacancy. Maybe that is just my ignorance of civics and our constitution. Does anyone know the precedent for this in the past? How many have been filled before there was a vacancy?

I agree. To extend your line of thought, did they just create an additonal position, a 10th Justice? | |||

I think Congress would have to officially pass a law to change the number of Supreme Court Justices. I don't know how the current SCOTUS would rule if a case were filed that premature positioning of a new Justice without their being an actual vacancy was unconstitutional. As was pointed out, allowing it could have interesting consequences later. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||
