Question - if a Justice died in the near future, could Jackson take their place immediately?
And then Biden could nominate someone else for Breyer's seat?

The unhinged left plots to murder a USSCJ...

1. I do not believe that sitting justices get to select their successor. NT

3. Something like that already happened when Roberts was nominated to replace O'Connor.

Roberts was nominated to replace O'Connor but then Rehnquist died. So Roberts replaced Rehnquist instead. Bush then nominated Alito to replace O'Connor who retired because of her husband's illness. Roberts and Alito were put on the court one right after the other.

Those should have been Al Gore's nominations.

9. Whenever someone comes up with a crazy idea that nobody's thought of before...

…it’s safe to start by assuming that someone HAS thought of it before and it doesn’t work.

Are you sure that Jackson won't be the first one to go Pine City after Harris & Pelosi spread COVID to everybody at her event?

She is also morbidly obese as well so there's that.
