Supreme Court

So. Not looking through different lenses. It's wrong period.

 

Somehow I think if the roles were reversed you would not be making this statement

 

 

 

That's your fault for being mistaken and painting me as a liberal/Democrat when I am neither.

 

Still yet to hear you actually admit that it's wrong.

 

I'll say that LOMS has stated that he wasn't a fan of Clinton several times, but obviously he's not a fan of Trump either.

So who did you vote for in 2008 and 2012? From the posts I have read the last 6 months, 99% of them have been anti-Trump, and I honestly cannot recall any where you were bashing Hillary with the same amount of hostility.

Why is it that you are so hung up on people having equally negative thoughts about both candidates? Its totally possible that a person can view ones behaviors and offenses worse than the other.

I'm anti-Trump because of who he is as a human being - it has nothing to do with him being a Republican.

 

I've voted for a handful of democratic and republican candidates for different levels of office. I likely would have voted for any legitimate Republican presidential candidate this election if they would have been nominated (Kasich, Rubio, Paul, at least).

 

Still haven't seen you admit wrongdoing.

So, with this, it appears the GOP has won, at least in the short term. They will get their hardline, Heritage-approved conservative to replace Scalia.

 

Beyond that, the implications of a simple majority being the precedent for appointment are interesting. Could this signal a shift away from centrist justice nominations and towards the politicization of the Supreme Court?

Ok...I've had a lot of trump supporters claim the only reason they voted for him was the Supreme Court.

 

So....now that that's done, can we impeach him?

Funny. This exact thought entered my mind today.

[Danny Bateman]

I realized one thing looking at a piece about his pick.

 

We really need another descriptor besides "rock-ribbed conservative". That one is done to death.

[GM_Tood]

Nice pick bud.

If this is accurate, it seems like the Gorsuch nomination will keep the Supremes balanced. Balance is good.

Only after 4 more picks - Thomas, Kennedy, Ginsburg, Breyer - I think we could easily see 3 of these 4 choose to retire soon - next 2 years.

[TGHusker]

I do think the Gorsuch nomination is a good vote - maintains the balance as Knapp noted and if his health remains good, he could be on the court for 30+ years. Perhaps a future chief justice in the making.

[Enhance]

I think this is a good nomination.

Oh, goodie.
