But Joe Biden isn't going to not push someone through. We're just going to get more Kavanaughs, but nominated by a Democrat. Because they will hold over us the fear of even worse.
Biden is not going to sit by and let the SC remain with open seats, because that is a bad look for the president. So they will find someone they think the SC will approve, and it will likely be literally no better than someone the GOP would choose. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Biden goes directly to the Heritage Foundation to pick his justice nominee(s).
Merick Garland WAS another Kavanaugh, possibly minus the rape. They don't care about the politics of the judge that's put up- if they're put up by a Dem and the GOP controls the Senate, they're not getting through
I mean technically, but only in the most tepid "harm reduction" way. IMO, people need to come to terms with the fact that the judiciary branch is the least democratic, oligarchic institution in what is already a sham bourgeois democracy. The whole thing is rigged, and removed by so many layers from the needs of the people to be practically meaningless.
The only role the Supreme Court serves is to legitimate the Constitution. They rubber stamp all the evils of the empire, only to make an occasional "landmark decision" once or twice a decade to save people from losing faith completely. At best, the Supreme Court represents the long view of oligarchy, as opposed to the short term interests of Congress.
