@Noahpinion Why do we have to get into a pissing contest over who is worse? They’re both bad as are Hegseth and RFK! Maybe we can just keep talking about that instead trying to prove my specific concerns are the most important and anyone who doesn’t share them in the same order is an idiot?
@OrinKerr I don’t think our expectations should preclude people from expressing concern. All smart people have no expectations for this admin to do anything good, that doesn’t mean they should keep quiet. (Also, “qualified” isn’t a binary and Gaetz and Hegseth are truly beyond the pale.)
@BobStein_FT@mattyglesias If you hold them in similarly low regard then youre a fucking idiot (I know youre not that person). I’m going bonkers seeing the number of posts trying to rationalize the patently false statement. Which is probably a factor in why people are addicted to overstatement here.
@Redistrict I mean it’d be one thing for them to make this decision for that reason. If the decision is made because they are afraid the other candidate will seek revenge it’s not good!
@NoahGarfinkel I love both the delay in him learning about it, AND the apparent delay in him tweeting about it after learning it given that he found out “the other day”. I get it, he’s a busy man.
@GianmarcoSoresi I mean he nominated a reliably liberal justice and otherwise can’t unilaterally force an expanded court or inoeacuement of existing judges. But sure, for the sake of a tired comedic bit we can pretend otherwise.
