If you were a gambling person, would you bet that Ketanji Brown Jackson will be confirmed?

[Algernon Moncrieff]

In theory, it shouldn't be an issue. But the Senate is apparently Crazytown.

1. I feel like I'm finishing up a semester in law school.

And a couple of Republicans are definitely flunking out this semester.

2. I think she will but what I wonder is if Thomas steps down would Republicans

Allow him to be replaced by Biden?

[Algernon Moncrieff]

3. If it happens in the next year it will be a battle royale.

Manchin and Sinema would heavily influence the pick if it were to have any chance. Sad to say but true.

5. I was hoping for next week.

8. This week ain't over yet.

10. Does prayer work?

11. Can't hurt. 🙏

I’ve been thinking about trying voodoo for the pig.

4. She's a lock

Unless Manchinema rears its head again.

9. Both have voted for every one of Biden's judicial picks. I would

expect them to continue supporting their president.

[Deuxcents]

6. Senator Booker would say so! He's inspiring her w/ 5 senators left today

[DFW]

7. The bigger question is what happens if Mother Nature decides to put Clarence Thomas out to pasture

Replacing his extremist rightist ass with a centrist would still not swing the balance our way, but it WOULD give Roberts the chance to give himself a legacy he could be comfortable with leaving, instead of the black mark his Court has mostly been (admittedly, with the occasional bright spot shining through, though they have been the exception, not the rule, and ALL provided by him personally).

Alito, Gorsuch, Thomas, Kavanaugh and Phony Carrot are a solidly right wing monolith. Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson would continue to be the doomed 300 Spartans without a fourth center/center-left balance. Roberts would have to move from the right to the center to even make a difference, but he has shown traces of humanity peeking through now and again. Maybe he would be more motivated to do so if he were to become a true swing vote instead of "that guy on the right who threw the libbruls a (usually insignificant) bone every now and then."

12. I think his legacy matters to him

I don't really know, just a hunch

The SC has become more visible under his watch, and not necessarily in a good way. Kavanaugh's antics grabbed headlines and clicks, and more people are now debating and meme-making this relatively mysterious and allegedly lofty organization.

I agree he'd see a chance to be a swing vote and influence his legacy

[DFW]

13. He only gets that after Jackson is confirmed AND Thomas retires

However, something like that could all come to pass inside of three weeks, and catch us all off-guard. I can't believe Roberts is dim enough not to have considered that as well.

[Skittles]

14. she's got this

they cannot do to her what they did with Hillary

[RANDYWILDMAN]

15. Why are the R's acting like they are doing the D' a huge favor here ?

I freakin hate them. Gorsuch was sham, Kav was a sham and Phoney barrett was a total sham. Judge Jackson is a real judge. not a partisan hack !!!

[TheBlackAdder]

16. If the two jokers are in the deck, I don't have much hope.
