Uhhh . . . . Fred? Not to interrupt your jocular mood, but confirmation of a justice or judge, along with every other office which is subject to Senate confirmation, is a simple majority proposition, not a 2/3 majority one. The 2/3 majority only applies to treaties, overriding a presidential veto and to convict on articles of impeachment (to convict on articles of impeachment requires 2/3 of those present - all others require 2/3 of the total number).FredHayek wrote:
The only way that will happen is if the Dems win a 2/3 majority in the Senate. And even then I think some moderate Dems would not sign onto a Holder nomination.Martin Ent Inc wrote: Be aware that BO hasn't fired Holder because he is grooming him for a Supreme Court Justice position.
