RBG to miss next week's arguments as well... just announced. 

 

Not surprising.  Quickening Supreme Court clones only has about a 30% success rate, historically...

So it's official: Ginsburg's clone is, in fact, dead?

 

I would hope so, after they harvested it for organs to implant in the real RBG, as part of her resurrection.

RBG has developed complications with pneumonia and is fighting for her life? the outlet that first reported she had lung cancer is now reporting she is deathly ill.

Time to fire up the judicial confirmation engines again

Posted by William A. Jacobson
 
Trump needs to speed up renominations, Graham needs to spirit them through the Judiciary Committee, and McConnell needs to get tough on Democrat stall tactics for floor votes.
 

I’m so old, I remember when Republicans were ramming judicial nominations through the Senate, and Democrats were squealing like stuck pigs about it.

 

Then came Jeff Flake’s attempt to disrupt the process unless a bill were passed protecting Mueller, and then the congressional term ran out with Democrats refusing to carry over the nominations. That left 13 nominees for appeals courts and 60 nominees for District and other lower courts hung out to dry.

which raises one of my concerns.  should ginsburg be required to cast her decisions in person or should SCOUTS be allowed to vote by proxy on the assumption that the actual Justice is rendering judgement rather than a clerk or political entity on her behalf

I doubt it's either. I'm sure they call her for the vote/discussion.

 

Oral arguments are really the least important part of an appeal. Sometimes you can change a judge's mind or get one off the fence by clarifying a point for them, but decisions are mostly made based on the briefs.
