CNN senior political commentator David Axelrod is looking toward President Joe Biden’s nomination of the first black woman to serve on the Supreme Court and he’s finding it sad that it’s already baked in that it’s going to be a near party-line vote to confirm her. Look back at the good old days, he says:
David Axelrod ~ Breyer was confirmed 87-9.
Ginsberg was confirmed 96-3.
Scalia was confirmed 98-0!
Now-regardless of the character and qualifications of @POTUS's nominee-we're looking at a near party-line vote. Already baked.
Sad reflection on the nature of our times.
What’s an even more sad reflection is looking back at when that all changed. Also, we noticed Axelrod skipped over the most recent few nominees to the Supreme Court.
Well, Axelrod is a Clintonite ... if any facts dispute his preferred narrative, he just skips over them. In other words, he's a pathetic liar.
EJ Hill ~ Gee, who was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when it all went south?
Ccar ~ When, exactly, did these votes turn partisan and who, specifically, led the charge in that hearing David?
Ron Lee ~ How did Biden vote on Clarence Thomas?
The Washingtonian ~ Don’t forget Bork.
Tony Beard ~ Now do Bork and Thomas.
John Fenton ~ Thomas 52-48 🤔
Ginsburg 96-3
Breyer 87-9
Roberts 78-22
Alito 58-42 🤔
Sotomayor 68-31
Kagan 63-37
Garland (no vote)
Gorsuch 54-45 🤔
Kavanaugh 50-48 🤔
Barrett 52-48 🤔
Meg Bee ~ Nice cherry picking, David.
Ken Catmull ~ I predict the Senate confirmation vote will be 53-47 as long as they don’t put forward an out and out activist ... which is very much a possibility with this administration. If they do that, they risk losing Manchin or Sinema.
This will be interesting to watch.
