About time there is a Becerra with a life-time appointment on the bench.
How do that many vote against these qualified people. Shows how fucked our system is.
I always feel like that’s an emergency medical condition. An ambulance driver wheels a patient on a stretcher into the ER and the doctor rushes over asking what is happening and the EMT says “white make age 60. Diaphoretic and in full clouture…”
It sort of interesting as the farther the confirmations went, the fewer senators were in opposition. Judge Becerra is confirmed 56-40, but Judge Damian's vote was 77-20?
Yeah, what's up with that, Bob?? They against ethnics with money??
