The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Alito won't retire in the lame duck and he doesn't need to. Trump can nominate someone to the Supreme Court and the senate can confirm without a vacancy. Then Trump can wait to sign the commission at any time in the next two years The question isn't Alito, its Cornyn/Tillis/Thune.

So, a new president could pre-nominate half a dozen SCOTUS judges, get them confirmed, and then just appoint them easy-peasy as vacancies arise? Has this ever been done before?
