I didn't say "having a High Court is moot". I said if the outcome was predictable, it WOULD BE moot/pointless.

But I understand what you are saying. You'd still need that "rubber stamp" of confirmation.

...but in the end, that's all it would be: a rubber stamp.

Rubber stamps are not conducive to a democracy. That's how we got #JimCrow in the early 1900's (and how we are seeing #JimCrow2.0 under T****.)

The Confederacy is alive and well.

Red is the new Gray and the #GOP 's strategy is if your policy and morals don't get you the votes to win then only let your voters vote.
Funny sounds like communism.
