1. K&R!

[Rhiannon12866]

2. Thanks! Think this was the best discussion on the SCOTUS topic of the night.

[SheltieLover]

3. 👍

[Rhiannon12866]

4. This certainly was the topic of the evening, did anyone discuss anything else??

[SheltieLover]

5. I just hope we have the votes for confirmation in the Senate!

[Rhiannon12866]

6. Good grief, I've thought of that, too! Mitch considers SCOTUS his personal prerogative!

He blocked President Obama from a pick a year before the next election, but then gave the okay for TFG to choose a third (and arguably the worst) only days before he was voted out!

[SheltieLover]

7. Yup

[Rhiannon12866]

8. I know Biden needs to get approval, but I really like Jimmy Kimmel's pick for the next justice

Seems perfect justice to me - Anita Hill!

9. Qpukes would never allow her to be confirmed

[Rhiannon12866]

10. Like I said, Jimmy Kimmel brought it up tonight! And would they approve anyone without Mitch's okay?

I just thought that was a clever retribution for Kimmel to think of...

[SheltieLover]

11. Very clever

[Rhiannon12866]

12. I'm guessing this won't be the last time we'll hear this!
