Post by super70sPost by Radio GnomePost by super70sEven though the Republican Senate did the exact same thing (to the tune
of 32 confirmations) during Mad King Donald's lame duck session.
What goes around comes around Mad Donald.
No problem. Just more left leaning judges to get reversed by the
SCOTUS; which, by the way, will become even more conservative when
Trump appoints one, maybe two more.
The SC decides which cases they will accept, they're not going to
accept every one just because it was decided by a Biden (or Obama or
Clinton) judge or they wouldn't have time to do anything else.
The Supreme Court is already well past overload.

Briefly stated, the findings are that when presented with an array of
data or a sequence of events in which they are instructed to discover
an underlying order, subjects show strong tendencies to perceive order
and causality in random arrays, to perceive a pattern or correlation
which seems a priori intuitively correct even when the actual correlation
in the data is counterintuitive, to jump to conclusions about the correct
hypothesis, to seek and to use only positive or confirmatory evidence, to
construe evidence liberally as confirmatory, to fail to generate or to
assess alternative hypotheses, and having thus managed to expose themselves
only to confirmatory instances, to be fallaciously confident of the validity
of their judgments (Jahoda, 1969; Einhorn and Hogarth, 1978). In the
analyzing of past events, these tendencies are exacerbated by failure to
appreciate the pitfalls of post hoc analyses.
