    This lady will do anything to keep her name in the news.

    This has as much chance of going somewhere and she does it being president which is to say zero.

    This is political theatre to distract from the party’s current issues.

      You’re correct in that the press coverage is the point, and it’s impossible to get past Johnson.

      I disagree that this is about getting her name in the press. She’s trying to keep the supreme court’s last session in the press. The media will focus on the court for a week, then move onto the new shiny thing.

      The only way to keep the SCOTUS in the news right now is to do stuff like this. The big broadcasters flock to the drama.
