Seriously, I applaud what Grassley said.
I believe that The Congress has the power to impeach Traitor Roberts.
I just wish that it had been Roberts and not Scalia. Robarts is another “gift” from the Booshes!
The Senate had an “advise and consent” role in the process. They have filled their role. They have advised there will be no consent.
Harry “Nuke Option” Reid has been quieter than one would expect. Maybe he is focused on taking as much graft as he can before he retires.
Grassley is dead right. Since Lincoln, the court has been politicized to be blind to the original intent of the Constitution and instead find in such a way as to support policy decisions. The General Welfare clause was interpreted correctly as specifying spending authority for the general welfare of the whole nation in areas already granted through enumerated powers prior to the Lincoln presidency. For example, the building of the Cumberland road to permit rapid military mobilization and reinforcement of the Western Territories.
Having the New York Times pretend that scotus judges (I refuse to call them ‘justice’) are apolitical is beyond dishonesty and all the way to depraved hypocrisy.
Grassley nails it.
Uh. That’s what senators do when they do their Constitutional duty and approve or decline SCOTUS nominees, you ignorant Lefties.
Well, Adam Liptak, it just turns out that using the Constitution as the standard for SCOTUS decisions is what the Court is SUPPOSED to do, and now that turns out to be conservative, because progressives choose to ignore this same Constitution in favor of ruling for the agenda of the progressives.
About time!!!
“The chief justice has it exactly backwards,” he said. “The confirmation process doesn’t make the justices appear political. The confirmation process has gotten political precisely because the court has drifted from the constitutional text and rendered decisions based instead on policy preferences.”
So why the hell do jerks like GrASSly keep nominating people like Roberts, Soto-Mayor and Kagan?????????
