The move would extend her 36-year House career and continue to freeze her would-be California successors in a long-standing holding pattern.

The point is that unlike with SCOTUS vacancies, there’s zero chance that Newsome appoints someone with radically different politics from Pelosi, so the analogy kind of sucks regardless of what you think of him.
That’s part of my point: another Pelosi would be AWFUL. Not anywhere near as bad as a GOP fascist, of course, but still absolutely AWFUL.
So you admit that the original comparison was crap
Good. My point remains.
I wasn’t the one making a comparison. The only thing I was saying was that there’s no reason to trust Newsom to appoint someone who’s not as immensely corrupt as himself.
THAT point (which, again, was the only one I was making) still stands, so you can stow your smugness where the sun doesn’t shine.
