Any nomination now would get caught up in politics. Sotomayor's not THAT old.

I think they probably want to take advantage of the current slim majority in the Senate. But I agree, she's not that old at all. She's likely to still be alive on January 20, 2029.

She is a Type-1 (insulin dependent) Diabetic.
We don't know which organs (e.g.- kidneys) the disease may have attacked.

This time to do this, if it were to be done at all, was last year.

Arizona Supreme Court uses a law from 1864 (not a typo) to totally ban abortion in the state, full stop. There is a ballot initiative to restore abortion access that will have way more signatures than needed to get on the ballot. This just put the state out of reach for Trump, who just yesterday said that abortion should be decided by the states, even ones who use laws left over from the Civil War era.

Joe Biden can safely put Arizona's 11 electoral votes in his pocket. Ruben Gallego will also pad his victory margin against nutjob Kari Lake.

This is what happens when the Republican dog catches the car.

I could see the AZ court thing being staged horse hockey

Buffalo biscuits, if you will...

Timeline KC:
*Trump comes out and says it's all up to the states.
*AZ court bans everything senselessly. Starting in May sometime.
*Trump now goes on for weeks about how it will work out and maybe
the court went to far and the people will (have) speak (spoken).
*AZ court reverses it's decision based on some nonsense that's already
been cooked up at part of the staged sham-a-roo.
*Trump claims victory for saving AZ from ancient law and all the white
women vote for their Savior and send him their kids college dough.

btw, this was neither breaking nor news. Mariano has been in the tank for Trump for years now.
btw take two: Are Panamanian immigrants all rapists and murderers too or does that just apply to Mexicans?

Seeing her in the gang solemnly walking the Mayorkas impeachment articles over to the Senate was pretty surreal. Solemnity isn't really on brand for her.

Seeing the case dismissed seemingly in a briefer period than the actual solemn procession was something but I imagine she had a nice stack of tweets lined up before it happened.

The streak of independence found by Speaker Johnson is the real political story there.

The real, real story is that the Ukrainians might now have a chance, if it's not too late.
