Who knows what Mulehead is going to do.
Best. Administration. EVER!
It is people like Chris Matthews who are responsible for the new poll, out today, showing that 44% of Americans think we are headed to civil war. Those, like Matthews, who try day after day to destroy our President and our system of government will not win in the end. Those who start these national crisis do not finish them.
There is a philosophical battle for the supreme court. The Dems in the past (Thank you Harry Reid for the Nuclear Option) did everything they could in the past to tilt the courts left.
The media portrays strict constitutional judges as right wing. They are not right wing, they simply interpret The Constitution as it is written and not how they wish it were written. The left wing and they are left wing in our courts decree law based on political and social beliefs instead of constitutional law. As the great Anthony Scalia said, “The only thing wrong with a living Constitution is that will destroy The Constitution!
I would have no problem with a liberal judge if he were a strict constitutional scholar. However, if he were such he could not be a liberal.
Nice catch.
So, if Democrats will not even sow up for a hearing of the candidate, how will that endear them to independents and whatever remnant they have of moderate Democrats?
Democrats do not need to meet with the nominee nor have any part in the confirmation process.
Wait to Gingsburg resigns!
Trumps gonna make em walk the plank....heh heh..good times...
Technically true.
The first Senate hearings on a Supreme Court nomination occurred in 1968. Lyndon Johnson attempted to name Associate Justice Abe Fortas, his longtime fixer, to replace Chief Justice Earl Warren. The Republicans and Southern Democrats teamed up to prevent the lame duck Johnson from turning the Court even further left than it was. The hearings stopped Warren's replacement cold, and it was Nixon who named Warren Burger as his replacement.
There is no requirement for the Senate to hold hearings on judicial nominees, and the Republicans should set the precedent of ending the practice.
Chrissie Matthews is still in love with Barack Obama. So sad. the little bisexual is so angry his boyfriend is no longer the president. Now Chrissie thinks he makes decisions for the US People. He should realize no one cares about him
Actually Harry Reid established the precident. Mitch told him he would, "regret that decision." When Harry went nuclear for the lower court appointments Obama put as many super liberals on those courts as he could. However, Trump has appointed a replacement conservative after the tragic death Scalia. Kennedy is not a strict constitutional conservative. Regan thought he was, but was wrong.
Trump must choose wisely.
Ted Cruz is my great Senator from Texas. I do not see a path for him to be president, he wants to be and would be a good president. He would be a hell of a Supreme Court Justice. Oddly 30 years on the court can have more national effect than many presidents have had.
Chris Matthews should go bungee jumping from a 50 foot bridge with an 80 foot bungee cord. With all of that hot air coming from his mouth, he’d probably survive, but perhaps it would knock some sense into him.
Article II, section 2 provides that the president “shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint … judges of the Supreme Court.”
Good. Don’t meet the nominee. We don’t need — and would never get — your votes anyways.
I can’t wait for the committee hearings! The democrats are going to be absolutely out of their minds. Just spitting mad insane. Every day they will be creating new content for campaign ads right before the election.
get that reverse piss up your leg feeling Chris , its done
Hey Chris Matthews, why stop there. Why not take the Maxine approach and encourage democrats Senators to spit on the nominee or “get in his or her face.” Please please please please please continue the breakdown. PLEASE!!!!!
As someone said above, does this arse hat really think Manchin and the rest of the Red State democrats have a smoked chance in hell of winning their races if they oppose Trump’s nominee? Really?
Quote: “Hopefully McCain will be in Arlington by then>”
Which is why McConnell is giving this some time. Even Yurtle knows a good political opportunity when he sees one. The chance to fire up and engage the Republican base is yuge. The fundraising opportunities are huge. The chance to put the Red State democrats incumbent on the spot is huge.
