The Commission on Presidential @Debates should have swapped the locations for tonight’s event and the Oct. 15th debate so that tonight could be the Miami Vice Presidential Debate. #VPDebate #CrockettTubbs2020 https://t.co/ZbGEaHJy4A — PolitiTweet.org

And if anyone is wondering, the Anthony Kennedy confirmation process took 84 days — PolitiTweet.org

Robert Yoon @robyoon

He also cites Anthony Kennedy as an example of an election-year confirmation process. Senate GOP argued in 2016 that his should not count as an election-year confirmation b/c although he was confirmed 2/3/88, he was announced on 11/11/87 for a seat that became vacant on 6/26/87 — PolitiTweet.org

Robert Yoon @robyoon

3 of the 4 stats McGahn cited about length of past SCOTUS confirmations were wrong. Stevens' process from announcement to final vote was 19 days, not 16; O'Connor took 76, not 33; RBG took 50, not 42. He did get Frankfurter right: that took 12 days in 1939 https://t.co/x6qhCLlMPU https://t.co/DCFhfnEBZM — PolitiTweet.org

Carswell & Blackmun's processes were expedited as they were Nixon's 2nd and 3rd attempts to replace Abe Fortas — PolitiTweet.org

Sen @LindseyGrahamSC announced Senate hearings for Amy Coney Barrett to begin Oct. 12, 16 days after Pres. Trump announced her as his SCOTUS pick. Here's how that compares to the 22 SCOTUS nominees from the last 50~ yrs who made it to cmte (ie not D. Ginsburg, Miers or Garland) https://t.co/IncWT5rifp — PolitiTweet.org

@QuotedforTruth Yeah I mostly agree with that. Like the stock market, past performance isn’t an indicator of future returns. But even the “quick” nominations still took at least a couple of months. Roberts as I said has a caveat. Stevens was unusually fast. Not sure why but definitely an outlier — PolitiTweet.org

@AshwinSaxena27 I had the word "definitely" surgically removed from my vocabulary years ago. It kept getting me into trouble. — PolitiTweet.org

Robert Yoon @robyoon

That's not counting the time it takes to name a nominee. It took Pres. Trump 11 days in 2017 to name Gorsuch and 12 days in 2018 to name Kavanaugh. So hypothetically, mid-December. New Senate gets seated Jan 3rd. — PolitiTweet.org

Robert Yoon @robyoon

Since 1971, it's taken an avg of 74 days for a SCOTUS nominee to get a full Senate vote (Roberts is a little complicated; if you count the day he was announced to replace O'Connor instead of Rehnquist, the avg ticks up to 77). In 2020 terms, that would put things at early Dec. https://t.co/Z04Ork91bL — PolitiTweet.org

"In the past the (general election) presidential debates have been a little more dignified in that regard b/c the audience is not a participant in the process and there is traditionally only one moderator… These debates will be quite different from the primaries" @PressClubDC — PolitiTweet.org

"Because you had up to 16 candidates in the primary debates, it resulted in a more raucous process, I think. And because you had many more moderators as well... " — PolitiTweet.org
