Are you serious right now? Right now? After all the shit that's come out since Hobbs, and you think one judge is enough to disgruntle women in Texas? What a fucked up thing to post.

Cute of you to think that such a scenario won't lead to the end of voting and permanent absolute Republican power everywhere.
The only third parties we have are the libertarians, who think drivers licenses should be illegal, and the greens, who are literally funded by the Russian government. I have no faith in an actual third party who gives a shit popping up.
You're right, I should place my faith back in the idiots that sing patriotic songs on the steps of the Capitol building as liberties are being stripped away from the people they're supposed to be advocating for.
Yes, you absolutely should as those idiots are of the party which has successfully fought to protect aboriton rights in many blue states.
Because the people who literally conned people out of millions by promising a recount in 2016 are so much better.
Nice of you to throw women in Kentucky under the bus. Just one judge bro. This judge will deny human rights to them, thanks to Biden.
Frankly it's the fact that Biden even considered this deal should be alarming. That too with the fucking backstabber king ghoul.
The judge would be vacating the seat. Moving to senior status is how the vast majority of judges "retire." They are able to still take cases but that is true for most district and circuit judges.
Biden could call her bluff and force her to continue serving.
I am pretty confused what going on here this isn't some open seat at all it all hinges on someone retired so if there no deal she wont retired anyway.
User warned: cross-forum drama
I got yelled at in the politics OT this week for suggesting how inept Biden and his team are and how the Democrats fucking suck and are leading us to shit and have been for 50 years.
Nice seeing that shit deals like this are still being made by the Biden admin. Keep voting ya'll! One day they will finally listen to us. Im sure of it.
Like I said in the OT - if you're some kind of minority, for your own good, please look to leave the USA behind cause shit is gonna get down right ugly for you all these next 20 years here. Unfortunately, the party that was supposed to be looking out for you all is too asleep at the wheel, or just plain old corrupt, to do anything about it. Fuck the GOP, Biden, and the Democrats.

You're the one using women as props. Deciding that a judge in Kentucky is going to disenfranchise women in Texas. I didn't say a goddamned thing about women in Kentucky but you'll use them for your argument too.
I'm against this deal. I really don't see what we get out of it. They get a younger judge for 2 attorneys. But I'm not going to throw my hands up and say why should people in Texas even bother.
Christ it's really going to be two more years of takes like this. Dems do something wrong and IT'S ALL OVER! HOW CAN THEY EXPECT ANYONE TO VOTE FOR THEM NOW?!?!?!?
You got yelled at for advocating for a fucking dictatorship. Shut up, fucking hell man.
I'm as left-leaning as it gets, I don't think the Joe Bidens of the world speak to that.
Are you not referring to them by mentioning the promise of a recount in 2016, is that not what Trump was pushing for. You've confused me.
The Green Party were the ones collecting money for a 2016 recount that never happened, not the GOP. Our third parties are straight up conman tier.
I rememebr when dems were like "more power to em" and then they took the money and ran.
more judges than anyone and not a peep here but one bad one who wouldn't have retired to even create the opening otherwise and this thread will probably have dozens of pages
very predictable
How do each of this administration's previous appointments rate in terms of good/bad?
Also super significant is how the Trump administration is weighted, which reflects the route to power that conservatives have been taking. Probably it would be good to match that ratio.
This is just such a sad post but it's what the Democratic Party has come to. Truly incredible.
Faith in Democrats isn't necessary. You only have to believe Republicans will make good on all of their promises.
Third party is just a dumb idea. Splitting the D+independent vote means that in most instances R wins that seat. Progressives can change the Democratic Party from within in time (medium term). Look at how the Tea Party shifted the GOP all the fucken way to the right, masks off.
Yeah, i'll never understand this accelerationist attitude. No solutions, always anarchy.
OP
OP
The seat is not what gives federal judges their power. It is the ability to hear cases, which senior judges retain. Most senior judges in fact take reduced caseloads, but here we are talking about a 66 year old judge who is "in no hurry to retire".
Stein demanded three recounts. One recount (Wisconsin) happened. Judges stopped two recounts (Pennsylvania and Michigan).
Green Party U.S. election recount bid comes to a close
The recount effort by Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein in three U.S. states came to an end on Monday, after weeks of legal wrangling yielded only one electoral review in Wisconsin that favored Republican winner Donald Trump.

Ohhhh yep yep, okay my bad. Yeah, I'm definitely not going to argue with you that third parties have been trash thus far, I guess I'm just voicing frustration at how inept the Democratic Party has largely been in my lifetime and how badly I wish there was a valid alternative or at the very least a way to clean house of all these old politicians that care more about their stock portfolios than they seem to care about rallying votes, advocating for minority communities, or even just fighting dirty when it seems like the Republican Party has been just fine with doing that over the last 40-50 years.
I'd recommend working harder to support candidates you like in primaries.
Biden sucks and after midterms I'm going to do my best to not have to rely on him and his useless ways for my literal livelihood
edit - actually useless ways isnt the way i would really describe him. more like useless presence. He's no leader to rally behind in the face of fascism in my eyes
lol

"In no hurry to retire" is referencing the fact that she will not vacate the seat if she doesn't get her preferred replacement, not an indication of how many cases she will hear in senior status. Anyways we're playing semantics here. If you want to say she is not retiring then most judges who are replaced and who didn't die in office also don't retire. Hers is not a special case and 66 is not an unusual age to take senior status.
The US is a really fucked up place. The overton window is so far right it's insane. What passes for moderates these days isn't moderate. Dems are basically republican lite as a result but what choice do you have when the other side is about a billion times worse?
It is incredibly important to vote. I will always encourage that. At the same time, with these current Dems, if you're a person struggling out there you're still drowning, just slower. Progressives/the left wing often get beat down on here as some anti-voting force when I don't really see that at all. The Center/Center-Right in the Democratic party will often talk about things being a long, hard road when people don't have that long. Things are bad now for so many. But this forum skews a certain way so many will want to maintain the status quo.

More like Snakes and Ladders judging by the simple ass shit he be doing.
During his four years in office, the ABA rated 264 of President Trump's nominees; 187 were rated "well-qualified," 67 were rated "qualified," and 10 were rated "not qualified."
As of June 2, 2022, the ABA had offered ratings for 90 of President Joe Biden's (D) nominees. The ABA rated 78 of those nominees well qualified and 12 nominees qualified.
Biden seems to operate like it's still 1994 and the facade of "reaching across the aisle" still exists
To him, it does. He's insulated against the consequences of the time it takes to make real progress. He has no connection to the lives of Americans.
Now post the records of all those appointments.

Well for the record, I will always vote and I am fairly sure I will be voting against Biden in the primary.
Kentucky keeps McConnel in power, so don't be so certain they are going to be "stuck" with this guy
