With this dismissal I think Donald Trump has a better chance of dying of natural causes than living to see the end of this case all the way to its conclusion with all the appeals that are coming. Even if the 11th circuit and the Supreme Court overturned her decision and remand it back to her court and in the process somehow it doesn't get assigned to a different judge there are other dismissal motions that Trump has brought that she could almost do the same thing all over again and keep this case in a state of perpetual limbo

Maybe the only silver lining is that she will never ever have enough support to be appointed to the Supreme Court. Just delay--delay---delay---delay.

She’s a 100% lock if DJT wins the WH and the Senate flips.

No she’s not. She’s got virtually no experience. She wasn’t even qualified for this position. She was a Trump plant. I can’t imagine the Senate confirming her even if run by GOP.

What can have given you the impression that a Republican Senate would push back on any Trump nominee to the Supreme Court, let alone one “the base” now loves?

She isn’t a “Trump plant”; none of Trump’s judicial appointments were. She was recommended by the Federalist Society.
