Shirley you jest....

[morphing libertarian]

Gee, I like her even more now!

[FreeReign]

Trump’s laid out a handful of aces. But more significantly, he’s forced Hillary’s hand-——she’d like to keep her selections secret....but that strategy is now kaput.

Hillary could keep her list a secret or she could release it, it doesn't make a difference. We all know what kind of justices she would pick, they would be anti originalists.

No, Trump's release of his list is to rally Trump skeptics and it's a good list to do that.

[Liz]

Sure, most of us know.....but it will be a media funfest comparing the noms.

[PAR35]

That would be a foolish nomination for the Supreme Court. We need folks that are young enough to be around for more than a few years.

[Lurker]

Is she on the list?

[Albion Wilde]

I would have liked to see several more Southern judges but this list is top notch. Very well done.

I know. I thought of Roy Moore, who has fought so valiantly in the Supreme Court of Alabama for First Amendment rights of Christians.

[Albion Wilde]

Note the Alabama judge on the list.

I wonder if he has been hand-picked or influenced by patriot Roy Moore.

[Albion Wilde]

You can see it in her slogans like "Love Trumps Hate"...

If that's her slogan, again, she is inadvertently campaining for him! I've seen it on other Donald sites. It's very positive for him:

Yeah, Scott Adams talks about this a lot. The slogan actually registers in people's mind as "Love Trump".

I was stunned to learn that the most slavery in fairly recent history was of the Irish (by the English). Far exceeded the number of black slaves.... The Irish were sold into slavery all over the world.. the numbers were staggering.

Having both Irish and English forebearers, I'll have to write myself a reparations check.

This is one of the great accounts of the oppression of the Irish and their eventual revolution, written by Thomas Keneally, the same author who wrote Schindler's List: The Great Shame: And the Triumph of the Irish in the English-Speaking World"

[Behind the Blue Wall]

Cutting out the Harvard/Yale grads was extremely smart and meaningful in my opinion. That’s the trap that the GOPe has been falling for — you buy into the crap that Harvard/Yale grads are somehow more fit for leadership than those of any number of other great universities around the country, and you subtly reinforce the extremely liberal value system that those emanate primarily from those places.

[armydawg505]

I hope so.

[morphing libertarian]

I read the first thread last night and didn’t see her.

[going hot]

Hard to back peddle when one is way downstream, going over the falls.

[Beautiful_Gracious_Skies]

I posted the list so fast that I neglected to notice the ‘state angle’ and its multiple implications. It’s great.Trump’s team is really quite brilliant.

It’s comforting to know Trump has excellent minds working on America’s behalf.

[Beautiful_Gracious_Skies]

Unfortunately, in addition to academic brilliance, so many have fallen to liberalism. And their personalities often mirror Ted’s- overflowing with condescending arrogance. It must be something in the Ivy polluting their water table.

[Liz]

The cartel has its members deeply embedded in the media with its
grandiose King George-sense of entitlement. They'll need more than a slap.

You got that right.....and Trump is the man to do it.

Thank you so much for referring me to that book. I will certainly trot down to the library and check it out.
