Apart from Ketanji Brown Jackson, Leondra Kruger and Michelle Childs… …two others being considered for SCOTUS are Wilhelmina Wright, a U.S. district judge in Minnesota, and NYU professor Melissa Murray, per a source familiar with the White House process. — PolitiTweet.org

@McCormackJohn Clarence Thomas was confirmed by a Democratic-led Senate after all that. Like Bork, there was no filibuster. After 2016 it’s hard to imagine a party that runs the Senate and so dislikes the nominee permitting a vote — PolitiTweet.org

@McCormackJohn public figures get scrutiny when they step in the limelight. sometimes it’s unfair. he accepted that nomination and a bipartisan majority of the Senate thought he was bad. what does it tell you that Scalia and Kennedy and (yes) Thomas were all confirmed? — PolitiTweet.org

@McCormackJohn You really think Garland would rather have been forbidden a vote than been subject to some mean speeches? What do you think the outcome of the Garland vote would’ve been? — PolitiTweet.org

Robert Bork lives in SCOTUS folklore but his confirmation battle is quaint by modern standards. Bork got a hearing. He got a vote. In a Democratic-led Senate. He was not filibustered. He was rejected 42-58 on bipartisan opposition. Reagan’s next nominee was confirmed unanimously. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Joe Manchin, today, told @HoppyKercheval on West Virginia radio: “Taking care of our voting and protecting our right to vote and protecting the ballot box is the most important, urgent thing we have right now. And I think we need to do this and do it quickly.” — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin says on @WVMetroNews the bipartisan Senate group on election reform is discussing “fixing the problems that basically caused the insurrection on January the 6th… protect every election worker [threats = federal crime]… making sure every American has the right to vote.” — PolitiTweet.org

Today, @RepJayapal called on the White House and Senate Democrats to set a March 1 deadline to pass a revised Build Back Better so Biden can tout it at SOTU. @PressSec, asked about that at her briefing, responds: "No, we have not set a deadline. No." — PolitiTweet.org

From Mitch McConnell’s statement on Stephen Breyer and picking a successor: “govern from the middle … unite America… The President must not outsource this important decision to the radical left.” McConnell gets a vote on this pick but he doesn’t have power to filibuster it. https://t.co/XUvaQOupa1 — PolitiTweet.org

Kyrsten Sinema, on SCOTUS, says she will be “thoughtfully examining the next nominee based on three criteria: whether the nominee is professionally qualified, believes in the role of an independent judiciary, and can be trusted to faithfully interpret and uphold the rule of law.” https://t.co/2SPtETryzB — PolitiTweet.org

Biden promises a "rigorous" process to pick Breyer's successor. "That person will be the first black woman ever nominated to the US Supreme Court. It's long overdue... I will keep that commitment." He says he hasn't decided who. He'll announce a choice "by the end of February." — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Biden says he remembers voting as a senator on confirmation of Stephen Breyer to the US court of appeals. In 1980. He was nominated by Jimmy Carter. — PolitiTweet.org

Justice Breyer officially announces his retirement in a letter to the president. He says his decision will take effect after the Supreme Court's current term that's expected to end by June/July, "assuming that by then my successor has been nominated and confirmed." https://t.co/jOXQcy0Qk8 — PolitiTweet.org

This all tracks with Joe Manchin's record in the Senate. He has voted for lots of liberal and conservative judges, picked by Democratic and Republican presidents, and tends not to base his vote on the person's ideology. — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
Pressed whether he'd be bothered by a SCOTUS pick more liberal than him, Manchin laughs: "It's not too hard to get more liberal than me. So it would not bother me having a person who was sound in their thought process, sound in their disbursement of justice and the rule of law." — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Manchin says his criteria for Biden's Supreme Court nominee will be their record, judgment, character and ability to work with the other eight justices. "As far as just the philosophical beliefs, no, that will not prohibit me from supporting somebody," he says. — PolitiTweet.org
