HuffPo Twitter: Biden is in charge of finding SCOTUS nominees
I don't know what it means. I just wanted to post "HuffPo Twitter":

http://twitter.com/HuffPolitics/statuses/1668809566

HuffPolitics: Vice President Biden has been charged with drawing up a list of possible Supreme Court nominees, Wash. Post reports.

1. Before the end of the day "drawing up a list" will morph into
"Biden's picking the next SCOTUS"

4. I hope he does not let another
Clarence Thomas slip through the barriers.

5. Since he chaired more confirmation hearings than any other living person
I'd say his credentials in this regard are impeccable.

7. I hope you are kidding.
He has "chaired" them for sure. The results stink.

9. He had no control over the nominee
and remember, he chaired Souter's confirmation hearing, too.

Not to mention teh confirmation hearings for Robert Bork.

In fact, "Borking" would have never happened without Biden.
