Why only 1 vote?
Collins and Murkowski have already indicated they won't vote to confrim anyone due to the election.

There won't be a single Republican voting against ACB.

  • Location: As always, silence is NOT an admission of agreement on DDF. It just means that people lack the stamina to keep on arguing with made up "facts", illogical arguments, deceiving statements, nasty and degrading comments, and fuzzy math. - @yelped

There is a good chance that Collins and Murkowski will abstain for political purposes, given that it won't change anything. I believe that a SCJ will be appointed before the year is up.

Collins has said that she will vote no regardless of who it is.

They can take a lot more cases? Split into sub teams like district courts do. Obviously it helps

The number of cases they take is not so low because they can't handle more. They only take certain types of cases. They accept fewer cases now than they did in the  past.

I have not seen that other than the media squeezing it into her words. She is the expert on doing meaningless things.

Like I said -1...

They never said they would vote nay if someone's name was nominated. Just that they oppose the idea of it happening.
Regardless there aren't 4 Republicans who are going to vote "No" on the nominee.

If there's one thing I learned from 2020, it's to never say anything with full-throated certainty.

How about "Regardless there probably aren't 4 Republicans who are going to vote "No" on the nominee."

Memo to the Trump administration: You should also work on a replacement to whomever you choose for Ginsburg's seat. You may be able to get one in before the election as well.

Is this a quote from someone? I'd imagine that death threats are a violation of the DDF rules

I wasn’t clear. I meant they should fill the appeals court seat that is vacated by the Ginsburg replacement.

President Trump gives an update on his Supreme Court pick; says he's narrowed the list and is now considering five women for filling Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Supreme Court seat.

The announcement is expected at 5pm on Saturday.

Fast forward 15 years, and there will be about 164 million states in the US, each with two senators.

And here I thought you meant to have a backup in case the Dems manage to find something

That also, but they don't need a memo from me for that. They surely have one on cue to step in if anything happens. My memo was just that they should've only focus on the top seat, because they can keep another seat also, usually an appellate circuit seat.
