Isn’t he paralyzed from the waist down?

Arguably, from the neck up, as well. 
He seems to have a history of embellishing stories about himself, as well as just general dickish statements and behavior.
Yes, he seems to have a harder time with the truth than other politicians, and that’s saying a lot.
Just for fun, let’s speculate on who might be the Republicans’ ideal Supreme Court nominee.
I’ll lead with Ken Paxton.
I think it would be Sidney Powell at this point.
Dr. Evil?
Rudy?
The corpse of Robert Bork?
It depends on which “Republicans” you’re talking about. Sure, the MAGA-hat wearing base might thrill to a Paxton or Rudy nomination. But as long as Mitch McConnell has a pulse, under any Republican Administration you’re going to get exactly what you got out of the last one – smart-but-dogmatic, 45–55-year-old, Federalist-Society-approved drones who’ve spent their careers dutifully climbing the conservative legal ladder and who will quietly but inexorably advance conservative positions.
Lindsay Graham’s officially a “no” on Jackson, citing her child pornography sentencing. As far as I know, the only vote that’s still up in the air is Murkowski who has yet to reveal how she will vote.
When I was working the polls in 2020, a conservatively-dressed young woman was handing out flyers about Madison Cawthorn. When I talked with her, she explained that she’d gone to college with Cawthorn at a small conservative Christian college, and that she and several other of his classmates had driven down for election day to campaign against him. Their experiences with him were so extreme that they could not in good conscience stand by and watch him run for public office.
This morning, a friend posted a link to a story in our local paper: “Madison Cawthorn stopped again for speeding on I-40, tells officer he is on his way to orgy.” I clicked twice on the picture before realizing it was April Fools. In my defense, if you think that story is the tiniest bit implausible, you’re not very familiar with our esteemed congressional representative.
Is the vote scheduled yet? Let’s gooooooo
Lindsay Graham has votes “yes” to every nominee since 2003, no matter Republican or Democrat.
He’s voting “no” on this one.
Dread Cthulhu?
I think I saw that the vote is expected later next week.
Re: Ideal Republican Supreme Court picks:
I think he’s already there.
And he likes beer! He likes beer! Do you like beer? He likes beer!
But what’s his position on child porn? (Actually I think Cthulhu wouldn’t play favorites or be vindictive either, so maybe he’d be a good pick in that regard. Cosmic indifference as a judicial virtue?)
He’s an equal opportunity people eater.
I bet Supreme Court cases would die way down, one way or another.
