A recent Hacker News discussion highlights an *Above the Law* report featuring former federal prosecutors who are urging the Senate to stop confirming judicial nominees who have denied the legitimacy of the 2020 election. Commenters on the thread express deep skepticism regarding the Senate’s willingness to change course. Many users argue that the nomination of these individuals is a deliberate strategic choice rather than an oversight. The discussion posits that election denialism may be a prerequisite for these appointments, suggesting that the current confirmation process is designed to install ideologically aligned judges. The thread concludes with cynical speculation about the future of the judiciary, with users questioning whether these judges will remain loyal to their stance if political power shifts, or if they will simply pivot to maintain their positions. Overall, the community views the confirmation of election-denying judges as a calculated move to influence future election outcomes, rendering the Senate's role in the process effectively moot.
