Courthouses of the West: Jackson Hearing Concludes.

Since this post from this morning:

Jackson Hearing Concludes.

Courthouses of the West: News of the Supreme Court. Day three of the Jacks...:   The Jackson hearings: Key moments from Day 3 and Court remains silent on Thomas’ condition after he entered the hospital last week I have ...

These hearings are now concluded, and Judge Jackson will be confirmed.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell indicated that he would not vote to confirm Judge Jackson. Republican votes are not needed for this, due to the removal of the filibuster provisions for Supreme Court nominations back during the last period in which the Democrats controlled the Senate, so barring something spectacularly bizarre, confirmation is assured.

I'll confess that, as previously noted, unlike the norm, I never got into the confirmation hearings.  Usually I do in fact follow them, but I just didn't.  I picked up bits and pieces of the news on them, including Ted Cruz reading from a children's book, and a question on if the Judge could define what a woman is, but as the news all came out of context, I frankly haven't paid much attention to it.

Senator Manchin has announced that he is supporting Judge Jackson.  This means that she shall be joining the Court.

Court remains silent on Thomas’ condition after he entered the hospital last week

I have to admit that for some reason I've found myself oddly disinterested in these stories.  I have no idea why, but I haven't really been following either, when normally I would.

Not be grim, but given the second story, both have the chance to become momentous events.
