That was painfully unfunny.
Can already see the onion headline:
Breaking News: Senator Lich McConnell says death is no obstacle to him finishing his Senate term
The Babylon Bee sucks
Sounds a whole lot like “you can’t nominate a new Supreme Court justice in an election year, that’s unfair!” to me. Which, coincidentally, was a McConnell ruse. Sadly, it worked, so I suppose this will too.
The Constitution says that only MAGA can make the rules. It’s right there in the Constitution. Don’t bother looking for it, any MAGA will tell you.
Whatever you say preacher man, so long as I don’t have to read no books.
It couldn’t have worked without the cooperation of the Democratic Party leadership
Obama should have appointed a progressive judge and declared that Congress has opted to decline their constitutional duty.
he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments.
Now, I’m not a lawyer, but I’ve spent a long time pouring over labor laws. “by and with advice and consent”, along with other permissive language like “may” and “shall” speaks to the ability of Congress to decline their duty of appointment.
Ah damnit, it’s satire
Hard to tell these days
pls pls pls first LLM senator
Maybe we can trick it into giving us universal healthcare.
