It took him 10 minutes to pull out the rubber stamp?
It took him 9 minutes to open the attachment on his email.
I can all but guarantee he didn't even open the attachment. Probably replied on his cell phone when he saw the alert.
This stuff isn't really a debate or discussion. The two sides meet on their own and talk about what their strategies are before meeting in the middle in pointless formalities. They probably worked on the draft together or went over it before it went out- the goal was for the side in control to decide on how they wanted it before putting it through the red tape of a vote. The real decisions were made long before the email was even sent.
For all intents and purposes 4 of the 5 members of the supreme court are just bench warmers until a conservative member retires or dies. At that point they are relevant until another conservative gets pushed through, or simply take over once a liberal gets through. That's it.
imo the concept of nonpartial decisions or bipartisanship is a fantasy, just like communism. There's the winning side and there's the losing side and the winners take all in this country.
There's no chance he didn't know what was in it. He was part of the cabal from the beginning.
Given how far said stamp was jammed up his arse, I'd say that is a reasonable estimate.
