Either way, there’s going to be A LOT of pissed off voters on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 The general election of the United States just became entirely about filling a position in the sole UNELECTED branch of the Federal government.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 What I'm driving at is the utter insanity of a system where the ideological composition of the bloody judiciary actually matters.

mclumber1 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I suppose if all of the Democratic Senators convince 2 GOP members to not show up for work the next few months, that would effectively block any appointment because they wouldn't have a quorum. But it would also prevent any other legislation from getting voted on too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The United States has very much been an extremely partisan entity since its very inception. The US never actually coalesced into a truly unitary social/political entity.

And a feature of that system is that government can be brought down with a no-confidence vote, something not remotely possible with ours and which should warm your libertarian heart!
