The Republicans sure have us well-trained: When we heard the news about Justice Stephen Breyer, we clutched our furry little chests in panic. And then we remembered that Joe Biden's in the White House and the Democrats have the Senate.
As you can imagine, lots of harebrained suggestions and predictions about Breyer's retirement — and who will replace him — are clogging social media. Barack? Michelle? Hillary? Kamala? — fuhgeddabboutit. President Biden isn't going to do anything showboaty. And anyone expecting Mitch McConnell and the GOP to behave appropriately over this is, frankly, delusional. McConnell stole three SCOTUS seats already, giving ridiculous justifications each time. He's not going to change.
The only questions for us right now — aside from which African-American woman Biden is going to pick — are these: How many of the 50 Republican Senators will absolutely refuse to meet with the nominee? And how many will declare even before he announces his choice that they will not meet with her? The answers will not be zero. We cats HISS.
