H. Weinstien and everything that is wrong about Hollywood and the Left.

How do the state’s congressional representatives figure in on who gets picked?

they dont.

Is "Doomsday Clause" Kozinski still a judge? Last I knew he had stepped down to become Corporate Counsel for the McDonnell Crime Family, er I mean Boeing...

[Averageman]

He will get to it, but keep in mind, Dems are blocking every nomination possible.

Things aren't moving as quickly as I would like, but it would seem that to some degree the Dem's are imploding and eating their own along the way.
I'm thinking that if the numbers swing slightly in favor of the Boss there will be a number of appointments to some key judicial positions that might very well change the course that we were on.
I question the idea of Moore taking Office, I have some very real concerns given the accusations but honestly, he is a key piece in the puzzle at this point.

Moore just needs to be elected. After that the Senate can refuse to seat him, and trigger another senate race in Alabama or allow the Republican governor of Alabama to appoint an interim Senator to fill the term until another race.

Bonus points, the refusal to seat will piss off the GOP base and trigger further backlash against Bitchboy Mitch and his Establithug minions in the 2018 Primaries...

I honestly don't know what to think about Moore. Apparently in some states back when the 14yo thing took place it was legal to marry at 14 with parents consent. The yearbook lady ( Gloria Alred reps. ) now admits she wrote some stuff in the yearbook.

If Moore is guilty he will be just as guilty after the election and the accusations were intentional for the election. So I guess, let it roll. It's their State. Maybe they know something we don't.

I mean look at the Dems. "Funnyman" get's run out of Dodge and the Dem Gov will place another Dem... so no harm no foul. Same old story. Same for that other guy, he wants to assure his son gets his seat. Come on... like that's a difference?

So the vacancies are politically symbolic at best. I don't think anyone has lost anything from a party standpoint. The Moore election would however transfer party power. So screw 'em. Accusations, politics, innocent until proven in court.

I just have this bad feeling we are treading water in the hold of a sinking ship. I do realize Trump is trying to move forward with promises amidst intense adversity. So not blaming him. Concerned though.

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

Whatever the evidence in Moore's case, you have to say that the timing was political. That alone makes it suspect.

Just wask yourself, what would the Progressives do to whittle down the GOP majority in the Senate by one vote? Take the GOP to 51 and then with Head Wound Harry and rest of the Rhinos, who knows what could happen. All I know is that Trump has to get a SCOTUS pick through before the midterms. It will be ugly after that.
