The Dems have proven themselves to be an evil party with evil people, and it hasn’t destroyed them. No Republican was going to seriously pursue impeachment for Roberts with Zero salivating to put one of his in as Chief Justice. And politics do trump “Constitutional Duties” and have for a long time. Doesn’t make it right, it just is what it is. By that reckoning, the GOP should be falling over backwards to seat Zero’s anti-2A/pro-gubmint moonbat for Scalia’s seat ASAP. Thank heavens they’re not.

Yes because the media covers for them.

Well then Cruz isn’t a Constitutional Conservative then. He’s not putting principles and the republic first.

The senate is allow to vote down unacceptable SC noms. That’s a bad example.

Ted and Hedi consider Canada, the US, and Mexico, to be one big country which means he just has to explain away the two citizen parent thing. I'm sure he'll tell us his dad is now a citizen so it's all good, sort of retroactive to his birth date.

I'm sure because Ted is a lawyer his Harvard profs brag about and law profs brag about the student that can argue either side of a case equally well.

That's Ted; day is night, black is white, wrong is right, lawyer to the core.

Congress is full of Republicn lawyers and how's that working out?

I’d say we need a much bigger bus to throw them all under... something for about 200 representatives and about 28 senators... the rest should get the message, when we offer them a ride next time....

The funny thing is 20% over in another direction and she would be lovely. Yes the sunken eyes don’t look good and show ill-health to me.
And all her Trump bashing? She’s too cool for school...another boring GOPe clone.

She is a “never trumper” which may give us a clue as to why she looks rather sullen.

It ain’t just the media covering for them. It’s most of the popular culture, (mis)education system and the political establishment invested in this evil.

Cruz still was yet to be in the Senate when Roberts’s misruling came down.

What Republican Senate votes down Democrat SCOTUS nominees ? If they held a vote, Garland would take his seat the next day.

Want to change that? Vote Trump. Trump’s proposal to allow the media to be sued for slander would greatly reduce their power. Right now they lie about GOP candidates with impunity.

"If they held a vote, Garland would take his seat the next day."

Get a clue, they're mostly lawyers and professional courtesy for their lawyer pals is far more important than where someone stands with regard to the Constitution or what damage they may do to the nation as a Justice.

Keep backing Haaarvard lawyers, and pretending something will change.

Doing so proves you're insane, but what the Hell, maybe professional courtesy toward the insane is the deciding factor for some people.

Just curious - what do you do for a living that allows you the volumn of time needed to do what you state here:

“I’ve studied every person who has ever served in Congress. Same for every person who has served as a Governor, every member of SCOTUS, every Cabinet member.”

I hope you get paid for all that ‘studying’.

Tell me what you’ve learned about Joe Walsh. How about Tammy Duckworth and Melissa Bean.

Democrat Senates sink GOP judges. Republicans approve Democrat judges. That’s how it is.

As for your edict on a preventing the graduate of an Ivy League school from attaining high office, you’ve just disqualified Trump (who went to Wharton at U-Penn, another Ivy Leaguer).

Those that know me know my situation and how and why I’m able to have done such extensive research over a period of 25 years.

What do you want to know about Walsh and the two Combiners moonbats ?

There’s no basis for it in the Constitution. If a judge claims judicial privilege on the issue then congress can impeach and replace them. The GOP had had the tools to clean up Washington for a long time, but they’ve refused to use them. I don’t think that’s going to be a problem for Trump.

How, when, where was it debunked?

Some people say Cruz is NBC, others say he is not. I stand with the ‘others’ and say he is not.

What debunking? You cause me to consider just what does the word even mean.

well see here, it clearly means he was born naturally not supernaturally, except according to some... and then it also means his mother did not use the pain killer shot during labor and that she did not even get a C section...


What? You thought like Ted once said himself when asked? That it requires “Two citizen parents and birth on American Soil”?

How silly is that?
Its true he DID say that in 2012, but he clearly is a principled conservative so he must have decided he wanted to go for broke and changed his mind...

And how often do judges get impeached for failing to follow the Constitution ? Regardless, Trump will have a viscerally hostile Congress, and that with a “Republican” majority. Sadly, what will be needed at this point to put us back on track may require a literal Emperor for several decades.

It’s a trollbait question, which you know. Asked and answered, fully debunked.
