“In our dumb system, there was nothing stopping Stephen Breyer from just changing his mind and sticking around on the Supreme Court, and we all just have to nod and pretend that having a forever job this important isn’t totally fucking crazy. I mean, what about an employee review every decade, is that too much to ask?
Whoever came up with the idea of lifetime appointments must’ve been, to quote Biden on a hot mic, a ‘stupid son of a bitch.’ As for GOP opposition to any Biden nominee, citing whatever historical precedent, there’s no reason to ever take seriously anything these guys say ever again.
They blocked President Obama’s supreme court nominee eight months before an election, and then rushed to confirm Amy Coney Barrett eight days before an election. Now they’re saying even when it’s not an election year, they won’t confirm a Democratic nominee.
Next, Mitch McConnell’s going to claim the constitution says ‘the Senate can’t confirm a nominee when a Democrat is president in a month ending in Y when it’s alternate side parking before or after Labor Day in a year when Tom Brady isn’t in the Super Bowl.’” —Seth Meyers
