- Start date
I was at the barber when this happened; we both stopped and watched the confirmation happen with my half haircut lol!
Fantastic welcome aboard!
How does this work with Breyer stepping down? Is it all done on the same day (he steps down, she swears in) so there is no instance/cases of only 8 judges?

Now the GOP will suddenly stop talking about her and put their energy on the "invasion" at the southern border.
Wooo! Amazing!
And then the pessimist side in the back of my brain comes back to remind me it won't change anything in terms of SCOTUS rulings :(
But it's still great news nonetheless.

actually they are
for being unable to stop a black woman from reaching a high level of power
and they'll feel it every time they see her face
Nice! Glad that Murkowski, Collins, and Romney came over. My O/U of 2.5 was prescient, shoulda taken bets.
I believe he's finishing out this term which ends... in Oct I think, and then when the new term begins a couple weeks later, Judge Brown Jackson takes her seat.
Yep.
And their vindictive pettiness/fear of a government that actually represents the people of the country never fails to fucking amaze me, sadly.
I knew they were going to be against her but for it to be that close? Absolutely ridiculous.

A highly qualified take no shit black woman. I'm surprised any of the GOP broke ranks.
