Justice Kennedy might have killed any remaining chance of a “blue wave.” The red=state Democrats are between a rock and a hard place. Either they follow their party and vote no (and it hurts them at the polls with the Trump Democrats) or they vote for the nominee and tee off the Democrat base, who are already calling of for the nominee’s head, and we don’t even have a nominee yet.
Either way, they’re going to lose some voters they need.
SCOTUS appointments seem to be the only thing that excites Ditch.
Things could be way worse.
“Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
BINGO !!! That was a big big mistake. The chicken came home to roost.
That’s true.
The democrats will accuse every potential nominee of being a nazi and a racist and every other derogatory name they can think of..
You all know they will.
There will be more Justices retiring soon. I cannot imagine Ginsburg lasting very long.
I’m thinking ol’ Curtis will be looking for a job soon. Some things are not walk backable.
[ Looking at that video, maybe it’s his wife who is pissed, and the turtle is just doing what she is telling him to do. ]
If that’s the case I say stay after him, Mrs. McConnell.
Nuke in a pro-2A, pro-life conservative.
Liberal heads will explode even more. That will send them a message. They will go cuckoo, of course.
It’s all good, though.
Alan Dershowitz said this morning that, depending on whom President Trump nominates to take Kennedy’s seat, he expects Ginsburg to retire immediately afterward, because she knows her decisions would be futile and doesn’t want to be continuously on the losing side of things. That would be sweet.
Kennedy deciding to retire was a pleasant surprise. I truly hope Trump’s next pick is as good as Gorsuch. Sometimes justices betray the nation. Roberts sure was a disappointment. O’Conner was as well. Kennedy was a wild card, you never knew which was he would vote a lot of the time. Of those three, Reagan appointed two of them. I truly believe God intervened in the election and changed the hearts of some people behind the voting booth curtain. Trump could possibly get anywhere from 3 to 5 justices to appoint depending on how long he is president and how many others retire or pass on. Trump may shape the Supreme Court for a generation or more.
I fully expect Ruth Bader Ginsburg to do her best to hold on until Trump’s gone, but I doubt she will be able to. She’s over 80. She’s had cancer twice. There may come a time when she has no choice but leave the bench.
The voters definitely will not forgive if the President’s nominee is not immediately confirmed. The voters are exhausted with what is going on in this country and are sick of it.
...”I hope he gets Kentucky, Appalachia, ridge runner, red neck pissed at these bastards. It will suck to be them.”...
Problem is that there are too few of them left. The cities of Lexington and Louisville are filled with people who have moved in from the most liberal places in the nation, not to mention the world. Lexington is a LGBT haven and houses some very rich people. The college professors and school teachers are, for the most part, just as leftist as others across the nation in government run schools. So, KY has been identified as a good place to live in peace, so far. But, that may not last if it’s politics go the way of the Northeast and California as car licenses on the streets of KY are beginning to imply. Too bad.
I’d be surprised if Trump didn’t already have his top nominee ready for announcement on Monday.
Good idea - Maxine and company may be doing us some real benefit....
For sure the liberal tumor is spreading to the more pristine areas of the country and has been for years. The foci has been northeast and California coast. An especially virulent strain. I remember these in-your-face bastards with blaring bumper stickers “PROUD TO BE AN ARIZONA DEMOCRAT”. Makes you sick.
Yes but can he get the murkowski/ Collins wing to behave? There will be no democrat help on this one and we only have 50 votes assuming McCain stays in Arizona.
Collins will never willingly vote for the 5th pro life supreme. Nor will some of the other republican traitors. This will be a fight. I hope McConnell has the skill and will to win it
Thanks. I enjoy your posts.
You’re right, except “moving fast” in DC is not like moving fast in most places around the country. I don’t think that’s even debatable. They’re just on a different timetable than the rest of us.
