He's ascended. The SCOTUS is in the weeds.

(33,400 posts)8. There are plenty of other qualified jurors.
If he was Chief Justice, maybe. But that's already taken.
brush
(53,904 posts)9. If he would do it out of duty, why not.
maxsolomon
(33,400 posts)10. Why not is maybe he doesn't want to.
It's a tough job and you have to deal with republican assholes every day.
He's done his duty.
brush
(53,904 posts)12. You don't know how he feels about duty to country.
Leave it to him if it comes up.
Neither do you.
I feel it is unnecessary and a burden he should not be asked to bear, when there are many others for whom that job is the fulfillment of a life's effort.

(53,904 posts)14. Let's just drop it. Neither of our feelings factor in.

Although Mc Turtle would torpedo that vote....

The incredible mess they'll inherit will take steel gonads.

for him to remain silent and not eviscerate this fat orange fuckoff.

just not in the spotlight. Don't think a certain governor would be running for the Senate if Obama hadn't said something recently.
