So basically George Will recommends we unconditionally surrender. Screw that! We either fight or we should just become Democrats. Will is a RINO and they are just Democrats in disguise.

This is a prime example of why you do not want to have a pointy-headed intellectual running the country. This absolute moron, whom I used to respect (as recently as about 20 years ago), repeatedly demonstrated that he considers theory to be far more important than reality. To be so incredibly detached from reality automatically disqualifies his opinions from serious consideration.

Will is very much aware that the approval of any Obama nominee would effectively eliminate the Second Amendment as a part of our Constitution...and he could not care less. To him, the 2nd Amendment is something that only we rubes, we provincials, care about, and someone so superior to us as he is does not wish to dirty his fingernails or his concept of himself by having anything in common with us. He is more interested in getting invited to the right parties, and having a bunch of other pointy-headed intellectuals congratulate him on how witty he is, than he is in what really matters. Frankly comma as book smart as well as comma on a practical level he is as dumb as a box of rocks. He simply does not care about weather allowing Obama to have another nominee would effectively destroy our Republic, and pave the way for a dictatorship by the Left. Provided, of course, that he could still get invited to the right parties, and rub elbows with the same people that he rubs elbows with now.

I was just listening to Fox News Sunday. Chris Wallace asked him if he thought that there would be a third-party run if Trump was nominated. Will said yes. He also indicated that he would vote for such a party. That proves to me that he is not interested in stopping the Democrats; rather, that he is interested in preserving his vision of the Republican Party no matter what the cost. It is quite obvious to any thinking individual that if there is a third-party run by any notable Republican, then a win for Clinton and the Democrats is as guaranteed as anything could be.

I’ve got no use for this guy.

All those fancy words George, and you’re still wrong.

This is rich. As Steven Hayward over at Powerlineblog.com stated today:

"Over 50 Bush judicial nominees were never given a hearing, let alone a vote—and not just in the final year in office. Democrats blocked a hearing for Miguel Estrada for several years (because a conservative Hispanic terrified Democratic Party racial uniformity enforcers). And let’s not forget Obama’s willingness to filibuster each of George W. Bush’s two Supreme Court nominees. Obama has no standing to complain about the treatment of Judge Garland."

The two best candidates for the SCOTUS are Ted Cruz and Mike Lee. If president Trump nominates them, and the senate leadership agrees, it will make the Trump presidency.

Mitch McConnell might agree, if for no other reason than to get them out of the senate.

I think they should hold the hearing and schedule the vote for the week after the election, after the people have spoken. Let’s get him on the record and put it to a vote. If Trump wins, he is rejected. If Hillary wins, put Garland in so she doesn’t get to pick.

Why would George Will want to act on Obama nominations?
The downside: leftists will continue not loving Mitch McConell and Charles Grassley. Who cares?
The upside: Deny another lifetime appointment of a leftist judge.

Will wants Hillary to win the election. If so, she can nominate the same guy — isn’t he a protege of her girlfriend and national menace Jamie Gorelick? What was Garland’s role in the “Wall of Separation” that facilitated 9/11? Did he argue vigorously against it? Shutting down investigation of TWA 700?

If the GOPe succeed in trashing Trump and then lose big in the election, Obama could easily withdraw the nomination.

George Will said this morning on Fox News Sunday that he would have no problem voting for Hillary Clinton.

Scientific fact: if an MD gloved up and removed the stick lodged in George Will’s anus, his tonsils would be at the very end of it.
