Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

No please don't, then Trump gets to pick 9 new ones.
I’d be very happy if he also died
Immediately
Then Vance gets to pick 9. Careful what you wish for, we are firmly in monkey paw territory...
It's a rule that a president or acting president can't pick any SCOTUS judges in the last year of their term, or the year before that, or either of the preceding two years.
Rules aren’t law, and can be changed. This was even broken when it was a rule by GOP.
Don’t worry. We all will one day.
The sooner the better
Remember when Biden could have expanded the supreme court but just sat there being old getting older for 4 years?
That wouldn't have helped with today's issues unless Democrats managed to stay in power. As Trump would just have expanded the court again...
If he created a majority in the supreme court, we would t have had 0 levers of power.
To be fair he also had Joe Manchin threatening to block it. Though what I don't understand is why they didn't pressure him to fall in line. (Insert controlled opposition theory here)
I'll take the "DEI Hire" over the "DUI Hire" any day.
I like beer
