There’s still one #recourse for #SupremeCourt #justices who #lied at their #confirmations

#Senate #Republicans #MarshaBlackburn (R-TN) & #ThomTillis (R-NC), of the #SenateJudiciaryCommittee say they’ll #obstruct a temp replacement for Sen #DianneFeinstein (D-CA), whose extended health-related absence has stalled #confirmations of Pres #Biden’s judicial nominees.
