Joe bidden and his famous quote...This is a BFD!

quote [ Anthony Kennedy’s Questioning Suggests Extreme Partisan Gerrymandering Could Be in Danger
A ruling against Wisconsin’s GOP maps would have huge national significance. ]

Once again 5/4 but which way. I just can't help but think of Hillary Clinton at this moment. and how the the Dems allowed the Republicans to steal a seat on the SCOTUS

>In the United States, a recess appointment is an appointment by the President of a federal official, who would normally require Senate confirmation, while the U.S. Senate is in recess. The United States Constitution requires most senior federal officials be confirmed by the Senate before assuming office, but the President may act alone to make the appointment while the Senate is in recess. To remain in effect, a recess appointment must be approved by the Senate by the end of the next session of Congress, or the position becomes vacant again; in current practice this means that a recess appointment must be approved by roughly the end of the next calendar year.

It would have started a constitutional fight but he could have done it and at least he would have got a vote. In stead of a fight I don't hardly remember any objection.
