Joe Biden says something about stopping a nominee in a president's last year in a Senate floor speech 25+ years ago and it's considered the gospel cast in stone for the ages to Republicans. The current president spouts some outrageous bullshit one day and the next day Republicans are 'forget about that, that was yesterday'.

So in order to testify about the president/potentially AGAINST the president, she has to get authorization...from the president.

This is all so stupid.

All this would be so fucking simple if we had a President who had any actual notion of what honest government or business is about.

There are only two constitutional requirements for a seat on the SCOTUS. Nomination by the POTUS and confirmation by the Senate. No age, education, or citizenship requirements, nada, none, bupkis, etc.

How about some sort of dream single-payer plan that somehow also funnels big bucks to the 1%. I bet you could get THAT passed. (Might be a little spendy, though.)
