DC Chatter

 It's an odd story....somewhere in the past 3 days....all of the sudden....some Democrats are hyped up to get Sonia Sotomayor (Supreme Court Justice) retired, and replaced before Trump arrives.

If you go to the typical calendar....you can figure about 120 days to get this announced....hunt down a replacement....brief them enough to pass Senate questions....then go through 10 days of rough questions....then passed.

Present schedule?  You have 10 weeks before Trump arrives.

Chief problem?  You have to deal with President Biden....who got pretty peeved over how he was forced out, and he won't be agreeable to find a qualified person to replace Sotomayor.   Meaning?  He'll pick some idiot who can't get through the questions of the Senate.

Add in....both Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays....with 3 weeks that the Senate is typically shut-down.

Comical show?  Absolutely.

New Senate sworn in on 3 January?  Yeah....so they'd have to get this replacement stuff done by the 2 January.
