Emails show White House initially planned to nominate anti-abortion Republican to federal judgeship on the day Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade

(CNN)The White House informed Kentucky Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear's office in late June -- the day before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade -- that President Joe Biden intended to nominate an anti-abortion Republican as a federal judge in Kentucky, according to emails obtained by CNN on Wednesday through an open records request.

In an email dated June 23, White House aide Kathleen Marshall, who works in its office of intergovernmental affairs, wrote to Coulter Minix in Beshear's office that Chad Meredith was "to be nominated tomorrow" to the US District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. The subject line of the email read "Close hold," and the body of the correspondence included a summary of Meredith's resume.
Minix responded the same day, writing in part: "appreciate the heads up."

Not surprising. Saw something they other day that was talking about how dems are running for office disguised as republicans. Not sure how that's possible as everybody's background is known at that point, but also not surprising.

I've send some scratch to Bernie, AOC, and I think a little something to Anna Eskamani over in Orlando.

It just burns my ass that the Dem leadership want to come begging money when they play footsie with the forced birth crowd.

And now that the far right has rolled back women's rights, they seem to just be rolling over for it.

Biden is old and old school. Hyper partisanship didn't exist when he was running the Senate show and cross party appointments weren't that rare. This is why Democrats struggle, the Right has no need for any other view point and they act accordingly; it\'s their way or no way at all. Personally, I like the old way better, but if you want to stay in today's game, you gotta skip on the rules.

I was right.

The Dems just aren't equal to the task at hand, which must be to stop the rapid slide down into authoritarianism. That requires leadership that's willing to kick balls and gouge eyes if necessary.

You that opaque? It's the makings of a deal with the commie bitch McConnell.

The Dems stopped the slide to authoritarianism by sending Trump packing. Bernie bros like russki closet QOP.

I don't think they stopped a damn thing Green. I don't think they are capable of it.

I'd like to see a few Dems who will fight for women's rights are hard as the right wing bastards fight for flooding north america with guns.

Qrump being booted, at least momentarily halted, one evil ignorant faction of authoritarianism. Have Dems underestimated the rise of ignorance and loss of civility in the QOP? Yes. Is the cause lost? No fucking way.

I have never sent money to any politician. I think it should be illegal for any candidate to receive any donations from any person, company or entity. The candidate should not be allowed to use money of there own either. The government should pay each candidate the same small amount of money to run the campaign. I also think they should ban all lobbying.

Yup, but you'll never see a politician from either party make it out of the gate with that platform. Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell both would break their legs.

Too many grifters on both sides. The whole damn thing is a racket.

Not many. Same reason we won't have to worry about them simplifying the tax code.

gree RC. The brit model election funding seems more reasonable to me.. Also short and quick.. Gov't gives all candidates the same pittance to work with..

Not sure if/how the brits' control/address the 'lobbying' BS issue.

Seems to me that our representatives represent their donors, not us.

Really don't understand why that in the in age of computers etc, why they are really 'necessary' at all, maybe just as a formality like reading out BS, like 'electoral college' vote count - but that's another issue in and of itself. - Understand fully why they beat up like a desperate fish thrown into the boat if we look to change the system as such - bye bye 'power' - and opportunity for side $ and 'bennies' on the qt...

Hey tpap - sounds like you need to fess up and shame the devil.. fk - can't see your response...

Come to Jesus folks..

I've given money. Good needs it.

Y'all heard of Citizens United yes?

Conservative Justices think corporations are people. Strike that, better than people.

Yeah, if we could get rid of Biden as fast as they got rid of Johnson, that would be great.

Johnson resigned voluntarily. Was hoping for a similar event over here about 5 years ago.......
