  • I keep wondering, if by some miracle she had been confirmed as a SCJ, would she now be exempt from these hearings?

    I really don't know the answer.

  • I don't either. They probably wouldn't try it because it would not only have executive branch complications, but also SCOTUS.

    Besides, how do you think the Supreme Court might rule on that?

  • Wow, hadn't even thought it through that far.

    What a cluster**** THAT would be.

  • Yeah, but because of the nature of this type of conflict, it won't resolve before the administration ends, anyhow.
