We now know who "picks" our Supreme Court members under the current Republican congressional regime. Not "the President." That's a mere Constitutional formality. The Federalist Society won. They choose. Harriet, poor girl, was not a card carrying member of the legal Neaderthal Farm Team.
Roberts is/was. Scalia is. Thomas is. Orrin Hatch is. Hey, guess what? Ken Starr is too!
The members of this club are pre-vetted. They hang together. They shoot animals together. They shoot golf balls together. And guess what else? They shoot the shit together. No "questions" will have to be raised about how they will vote on the issues of the day. There will be no wringing of hands in Bible study classes. If you're in this club, you're on the (wink) "Qualified" list.
And you can bet the next candidate WILL be. (Unless Junior has a brain seizure after indictments and decides to screw EVERYBODY.)
The Federalist Society simply dominates the Republican legal ideology machinery. Everyone down to Repub school board member takes their walking orders from these pin heads if they have ambitions in the Republican party.
Robert Bork will essentially pick our next Supreme Court justice is.
At least the constitution is safe now!
Safe from being enforced.
