Scorched earth tactics secured the 6-3 conservative majority. Letting liberals keep one of the three without a pitched battle would be a low-cost concession that doesn’t disrupt the movement’s big plans. Still, it’s early. We’ll see if this holds. https://t.co/zZWa9Qafgx — PolitiTweet.org

Ketanji Brown Jackson is a top contender. She's young (51); was a public defender (big for WH); liked by liberal advocates; confirmed by Senate last yr (50 D + 3 R); serves on DC Circ (SCOTUS feeder). Random fact: she's related by marriage to Paul Ryan. https://t.co/702mi1G8O9 — PolitiTweet.org

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill on MSNBC: "I hate to even say it out loud... There is an issue that we have members that are older. And so you have one health problem, you have one person who is not physically able because of health to be there, and the whole thing goes away." — PolitiTweet.org

JOE MANCHIN on replacing Breyer: “I take my Constitutional responsibility to advise and consent on a nominee to the Supreme Court very seriously. I look forward to meeting with and evaluating the qualifications of President Biden’s nominee to fill this Supreme Court vacancy.” https://t.co/XpXNnuXGLY — PolitiTweet.org

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham voted for Obama nominees Sotomayor and Kagan. Here he is on a successor for Breyer: "If all Democrats hang together – which I expect they will – they have the power to replace Justice Breyer in 2022 without one Republican vote in support." https://t.co/R4tBNPrRGZ — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patty Murray, No. 3 Democrat in the chamber: "I am ready to move as quickly as possible to consider and confirm a highly qualified nominee who will break barriers and make history as the first Black woman on the Supreme Court of the United States." — PolitiTweet.org

Impact of the Georgia runoffs will be felt here. If Democrats didn’t capture both those seats, Mitch McConnell would get to decide whether Biden’s SCOTUS nominee is allowed a vote. Instead it’s Chuck Schumer who makes that call. — PolitiTweet.org

2022 is going to be a huge year for the Supreme Court. Major rulings to come on abortion, gun rights and affirmative action. A Senate confirmation battle for a new justice. A midterm election that'll determine which party controls the process for potential future vacancies. — PolitiTweet.org

All eyes will (naturally) be on Sinema and Manchin but (unlike on some major pieces of legislation) there hasn't been much daylight between them and Biden on judicial nominees; they've been fairly reliable votes for the White House when it comes to judges. — PolitiTweet.org

@varadmehta @billscher appellate judges each take days to process sans UC. district judges also require an intervening day after cloture. you can’t do unlimited numbers in a month. there are also non-judicial nominees. keeping debate open is a total waste of time for majority. zero pressure on minority — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
@TommyzTakes @billscher nope. a quorum is necessary to conduct business. if it’s lacking the majority still needs 60 for cloture to advance a bill. dead end. the minority has no onus, incentive or need to hold the floor in order to block a bill — PolitiTweet.org
