NPR’s payroll is paid by you and me.

I hope Gorsuch lives to be 100 and never retires.

#2: Nina Totenberg is not really a journalist and not really a legal expert.

Isn't that old hag ever going to retire? Don't these NPR/PBS people ever go away? Seriously, she is two months shy of 74 years old. She is disgusting to look at on TV with those squinty pig eyes and self-righteous grin. She's always part of a televised panel coven of smug fellow travelers whipping up a toxic brew against America.

Totenberg is extremely wealthy having soaked donors and taxpayers for years. And with all the honorarium and speaking fees, she most definitely has a nice chunk of change salted away in addition to a gold plated pension.

And she inherited a fortune from her father, including a rare Stradivarius violin worth millions. Nina has already harped and nagged one rich husband to death, and after cleaning him out, she is currently working on taking out hubby number two. Please Nina, don't go away mad, just go away.

Side note: Bernard Goldberg: NPR and the Nina Totenberg problem. In closing, Totenberg means "Death Mountain" in German, a rather appropriate handle for a witch.

My surmise, from what I’m hearing,...

I'm hearing her fourth toe on the left side has been amputated and she can't walk a straight line! Oh, that's on her fifth leg. She has eight! Arachnid? Yep that's what I'm hearing! (I say this with tongue planted firmly in cheek, but what if it's true?)

Yeah - something seriously wrong when a SCOTUS Justice, who is supposed to be a steadying influence in making sure laws are Constitutional, citing the Constitution is an obvious problem....

Totenberg also said she hears Gorsuch “doesn’t believe in precedent”

Precedent is not law........'Case Law' is not law.......Only written law is law....................

As another Freeper likes to say around here...

"When you start taking flak you're almost over the target."

What a great MAGA day! A Red state team beat a Blue state team for the World Series win last night and the Libtards are crying over Gorsuch actually protecting and DEFENDing the Constitution.

As happy as I am about the Series, I have to admit that I'm damn near gloating over the fact that Gorsuch is living in the Libtards heads "rent free".....LMAO.

MAGA!

Remember Totenberg is the same piece of dog shit who said “I’d gladly give Bill Clinton a blow job...” Now we know what a fraud NPR is with our money paying them.

If Nina doesn’t like him that means Trump chose wisely. Defund NPR.

Hey, markomalley, want to hear a good joke?

NINA TOTENBERG!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I did read some of it, and a little just after seeing her name...:)

"...NPR’s legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg took aim at Gorsuch. First in her crosshairs was his habit of frequently citing the Constitution. She objected to Gorsuch bringing things back to first principles at oral argument. He often prefaces his questions by saying, “Let’s look at what the Constitution says about this … It’s always a good place to start.” This should come as no surprise. When rumors were swirling about potential Supreme Court nominees in late 2016, a former Gorsuch clerk wrote on Yale’s Notice & Comment blog “Whenever a constitutional issue came up in our cases, he sent one of his clerks on a deep dive through the historical sources. ‘We need to get this right,’ was the memo — and right meant ‘as originally understood.’”

As a member of the Supreme Court, Gorsuch is putting these principles into practice and fulfilling his commitment to faithfully interpret the Constitution according to its original public meaning.

And that’s not all Totenberg had to say about Gorsuch. She claimed there is a rift on the court between Gorsuch and Justice Elena Kagan. Here’s what she said: My surmise, from what I’m hearing, is that Justice Kagan really has taken [Gorsuch] on in conference. And that it’s a pretty tough battle and it’s going to get tougher. And she is about as tough as they come, and I am not sure he’s as tough — or dare I say it, maybe not as smart. I always thought he was very smart, but he has a tin ear somehow, and he doesn’t seem to bring anything new to the conversation.

I should be enraged and not amused, but...these are run of the mill leftists...I can just hear Nina Totenberg's outrage now: "There! There! He's doing it again, citing the Constitution! How dare he!"

Even if Trump did nothing else, his judge selections are worth it all.

Totenbag has been a far left nut for a long time.
