    That is still not an explanation for why judge Jackson would be the sort of SCOTUS judge Trump would pick if both parties are the same.

      Its an explanation for why a judge approved by Joe Biden is going to give us another Trump presidency.

        I didn’t ask for that explanation.

        If you aren’t able to explain why Trump would pick a justice like Jackson when both parties are the same, just say so.

          I didn’t ask for that explanation.

          Because you don’t want Joe Biden carrying any culpability for the current 6-3 Conservative Majority.

          We’ve got multiple Republican SCOTUS nominees who took office on his watch. We know what that leads to, because we know the outcome of Bush v Gore. We know what eight years of Bush did to the country and how it led directly to the election of Trump.

          So why would four more years of Biden - a man who gave us the courts that gave us Bush and Trump - produce a majority of Judge Jacksons? He appears far better at seating judges like Thomas, Scalia, Roberts, and Alito.

            Why can’t you just admit you won’t give me the explanation I asked for a long time ago?

              Why would I want a President who put Thomas on the bench?

                Not relevant to what I asked. If you can’t answer what I asked, I’m not going to talk to you about anything else, sorry.

                  A Democrat who concedes to Republican threats will be as likely to put a guy like Thomas up as Trump would. We got lucky with Jackson, but Biden’s clearly in a state of deterioration. Very likely we end up with him compromising us down to another Thomas or ACB in his second term, as he and his friends on the Judiciary committee are known to do.

                    I wish you would just admit you can’t answer what I asked.

                    For the very last time and please just answer and stop moving the goalposts: If the parties are the same, why would Trump have chosen Jackson as a SCOTUS justice?
