“I will always heed the call of service to our nation,” Cotton added. “The Supreme Court could use some more justices who understand the difference between applying the law and making the law, which the Court does when it invents a right to an abortion, infringes on religious freedom and erodes the Second Amendment.”

When elected there are 4 things Biden must due in the first 100 days.
Pass or otherwise fix voting so that the States and the current Supreme Court cannot steal elections.
Make Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. States.
Pass immigration reform.
Change the Supreme Court either through the retirement of a Republican justice like Clarence Thomas or by increasing (which requires 60 senate votes) the size of the courts or by reducing (which does not require 60 senate votes if part of the budget) the number of federal judges on all courts by 2/7th laying off the most recent appointees.
If 1-3 cannot be done because of the Senate filibuster, then the filibuster must end. As for number 4, 1-3 does not matter without fixing the Supreme Court or the Republican Injustices on the Court will, regardless of the constitution, rule against 1-3.
Just shoot me now.
Well Fox News won’t be talking about it at all, and they don’t read.
With Puerto Rico and DC we’ll finally be playing with a full deck.
God save the United States from this honourable court!
Well, al this does is prove how unqualified Cotton is for any judicial appointment.
Why today, specifically?
The guy that can’t be bothered to phone up putin over bounties on the heads of our soldiers somehow maintained some residual credibility?
Even Harriet Miers looks good compared to these guys.
Even the GOP would not let these fuckers join the high court. This is beyond ludicrous, it’s just…dumb.
That new AG of Kentucky, Daniel Cameron, is on the list too. His great achievements are that he was an attorney on McConnell’s staff and an inexperienced lackey as new AG of Kentucky who just can’t seem to get finished with that Breonna Taylor investigation.
Harriet isn’t mean. She’s not brilliant but I wish she was there instead of Alito.
And Louie Gohmert wept.
This is more fun.
Just something to give you a laugh.
I’m honored to be included on this list that any numb nuts with two thumbs can probably be on by tweeting at our dear leader enough times in the day. It’s a great honor…and oh ya, my dad killed JFK.
Sad button-mashing is sad.
Of course these would all be disastrous for the republic. But it’s sad button-mashing.
Exactly. I have known since the 80’s that Trump was full of shit, and I didn’t even live in the US then. Doonesbury even made a series of comics about him, that got published in in English language papers all over the world.
And still we have people surprised by Trump’s mendacity.
Oh my, two Cottonelle adverts while reading this story.
Sums it up; ass wipe.
While there are, no doubt, people in their respective states who like Cruz and Cotton, I have to imagine there are also a lot of people in their states who despise them. Didn’t Cruz squeak by in his last election? (As his college roommate said, Why do so many people take an instant dislike to Ted Cruz? It saves time.)
Meanwhile, there are a lot of people outside their states who also despise them. But are there people in places like, say, Pennsylvania or Michigan who like them?
“The Supreme Court could use some more justices who understand the difference between applying the law and making the law," which is why I must say, if nominated I will not accept, and if confirmed, I will not serve.
