if confirmed, he is likely a stalking horse to replace Ginsburg

1. If he's even NOMINATED to replace Ginsburg, I'd rejoice

...even if the wingnuts filibustered him.

But no, I have no idea about when or if a vote is scheduled.

2. I wish it would be soon, while we still have a 59-41 majority

rethugs are violently opposed to him...He has already cleared the Judicary Committee, but they need to get him the full senate vote yesterday, because it will be next to impossible to confirm him (as well as other judges) if we lose senate seats in Nov.

There hasn't been a Court of Appeals confirmation since April, that is shameful...
