In case you guys were wondering why the AG pick was taking so long...

[BGBD]

It's probably because Biden was waiting to see if he had the Senate.

Tonight drastically raises the possibility of hear Attorney General Sally Yates.

9. I was just going to say, I hope whomever it is, they're a pitbull. 😄

3. Yes!

[Music Man]

4. I think you're absolutely right.

[PatSeg]

5. Okay, that makes sense

[CousinIT]

6. Yea I assumed that. n/t

7. I read a lot of Dems were calling

for Doug Jones.

I don't know who would be the best.. thinking Biden knows, though.

[BGBD]

8. They would both

be outstanding AGs.

The only reason I can think of that there wouldn't be a known pick is that Biden wants Yates but believes she wouldn't make it past a Republican Senate.

I expect Jones will find himself in a position somewhere if Yates is the AG pick.

10. Thanks for that, BSBD..

Hope so much we get Two Dem Senators from Georgia so Biden has that Dilemma!

[DFW]

11. That was exactly my assessment

If we take both seats in Georgia, Biden no longer has to worry about a confirmation fight

12. It's Merrick Garland

He is the Chief Justice of the DC Court. Having the Senate control allows Biden to pick a replacement for Garland without Mitch’s obstruction.

[BGBD]

13. No

Nevermind, been drinking in celebration and thought this was a reply to the SCOTUS thread I also started.

Sorry.

[RockRaven]

14. No offense to Yates, but I want a goddamned GrOPer-Dementor who will eat their fucking souls.

She's got integrity. Applause for that.

I want somebody be with integrity and....... relentless savagery. Savage relentlessness? Something like that.

If she's got that too, then fine. Great. good choice. But if not... then let's find someone who does.

Eat. Their. Fucking. Souls.

[Mike Niendorff]

15. Yep.

Now, let's bring it.

16. Whoever Joe picks is FINE WITH ME !!!!!!
