“Say it out loud... a parent.” Apparently.

Other candidates just as conservative, just as dedicated to the Constitution and without the Twitter footprint. He may well make it on to the bench but by the time the Democrats are through they will make him look racist, homophobic, misogynistic, and God know what else from his past Tweets. Does he really want that?

What, me? No, sorry.

I’m telling you, any corny/bad joke will do.

Judge Willet is a rock star!! I didn’t even think about him, but he’d be excellent!

...and the left will HATE him. Which means he’s the perfect choice.

He may go out of his way to court controversy when other tactics exist.

Don’t ignite my lust for bacon. I cannot eat it for health reasons: gout and heart failure. So, of course, I am always wanting it.

[Bacon is meat candy.]

Well, since you mentioned it:

Using a skillet (I like my T-Fal) go for very low heat. 2/10 on an electric stove.

Some butter,
Then some white sugar
Now add a little cinnamon.

Get that melted into a slight glaze.

Add in your chopped bacon. Or Pecans. Or both.

Keep the heat LOW. Or you’re going to have a burned black ball.

As it tightens up - you’ve got yourself some candied bacon and or pecans to use on chicken, etc.

Enjoy

Roberts will do whatever the people holding dirt on him tell him to do, as evidenced by his Obamacare ruling. The Chief Justice has a secret that he would like to remain hidden...

This new nominee may be a reliable conservative voice but the era of 5-4 decisions will continue unless Trump gets at least one, preferably two, more picks!

I am certain, too that this would happen and that is why it is important to not get overly giddy about SCOTUS. We have been disappointed by SCOTUS, just like Congress for over 50 years. Always, someone turns out not to be what we think they are. I am happy for all the Winning, and possibly the grand prize is before us, but we also know things don’t usually turn out like we think they should. We can be confident though since President Trump is at the wheel.

Like President Trump? LOL!

Here comes the new judge, Jezebels! [Much clucking ensues. Dogs everywhere start barking and salivating with excitement. 2 Kings, Chapter 9, verses 30 through 37.]

Any SCOTUS sppointment is a roll of the dice. No matter how constitutionalist a judge my seem, there is always a risk of him going off the rails once he/she gets to the cesspool that is DC. Thst place ruins and corrupts people. Thsnkfully folks like Thomas, Scalia, Alito and so far Goresuch have not fallen into the swamp.

Senate Confirms Supreme Court Short-Lister Don Willett to Fifth Circuit Appeals Court
Brietbart
By Ken Klukowski
14 Dec 2017
Willett is on President Trump’s published list of 25 potential picks for the U.S. Supreme Court...Willett is also an Evangelical Christian. Although Evangelicals account for between 15 and 24 percent of the electorate, based on how the term is defined, they are currently underrepresented on the federal appeals courts. Christian conservatives are delighted to see President Trump’s willingness to consider members of their community for the bench, in an era where orthodox Christian beliefs are ridiculed in elite circles.
