To think his nomination (like that's the height of naievete to believe Biden would actually pick someone himself rather than from the DNC's curated rolls) wouldn't follow Obama (remember, Merrick Garland was the compromise) is pretty head in the clouds. I think I'm dealing with a politics neophyte.
It's amazing that I'm watching you argue with the "the dixiecrat would nominate a progressive judge and anyone who says different is crazy" person and you made it longer than they did before insulting anyone
Can we agree his nom would come from the same rolls that Obama used? Because Sotomayor and Kagan are two of the most "liberal" appointees. Then when Scalia passed, there were murmurs about Obama unfairly getting a 3rd nomination, so Merrick Garland, someone more in the middle was trotted out as compromise. But the GOP still rejected him, and the Dems thought Hillary had it in the bag.
It is completely ridiculous to assume that Clinton/Biden would have nominated anyone anymore conservative than Garland, much less so than fuckin Clarence Thomas. Come on, man!
You're literally saying Biden would have appointed someone to overturn Roe v Wade. I just don't know what planet that's coming from.
Oh yeah, Biden's really shown a penchant for Evangelical, apocalyptic conservatism.
To think he'd nominate someone closer to Thomas/Alito/Scalia than RBG/Sotomayor/Kagan is beyond foolish.

Like defended him because he tries to be chummy with everyone and give the appearance of even-handedness, or because he personally nominated him?
