Re: why do they vote twice? - Buzz - 10-08-2018
Doc- I know the history. I'm saying they went the wrong way. POTUS should provide a vetted list of say 6 to 10 candidates. The senators must then vote for their top 3 choices. POTUS then must pick from the top 3 vote getters for his SCOTUS nominee. After the usual hearings, w/ 67 votes they're on SCOTUS for life, 51 - 66 votes they're an interim justice, and the process must repeat within say no more than 2 years, when the next nominee and the incumbent interim justice go at it head to head. Winner w/ 67 votes or more gets life on SCOTUS, winner by less means another interim appointment. Of course if initial nominee craps outs w/ 49 yays or less, it's an immediate do over. None of this Harvard - Yale Garland/Kavanaught büllshît would happen, because it couldn't.
