(6,137 posts)3. two weeks tops, no higher priority than SC justice
SC has more power than any other branch of government and opening are so rare that its gotta be the highest priority to fill ASAP. the turtle came up with expedited timeline and its gotta be the standard timeline moving forward. Longer process changes nothing, just a formality, the important part is who controls the senate, the rest is just bureaucracy.
