Hey don’t worry about it. Schumer already scre*** all of you by filibustering Gorsuch and forcing the change to simple majority. It was the only card you had.
There is a cadre of Democrat politicians who get elected and re-elected by pretending to be Americans.
The Democrat Party has gotten away with it for years. Hopefully those days are finally coming to an end.
“It is a terrible vote”
Hahahahahahaha...Hahahahaha...gasp!Hahahahahahaha...Hahahahaha...snork!! Hahahahahahaha...Hahahahaha...gasp!Hahahahahahaha...Hahahahaha...snork!!Hahahahahahaha...Hahahahaha...gasp!Hahahahahahaha...Hahahahaha...snork!! Ahhhh. Whew! Winning!!
Elections have consequences, as Obama said.
Obama also said, that if you want to be in power to make decisions, set policy, etc. Then get out there and win elections. Make you case to the people and win elections, to paraphrase Obama.
Trump and Republicans took that advice to get out there and win elections to be in the position to make decisions.
Yes, the “bind” of listening to their actual constituents in West Virginia, North Dakota and Indiana who will probably want this judge confirmed, or out-of-state left-wing activists in California telling them otherwise.
So the Dem senators are actually going to have to weigh a political decision for a change? Sucks to be them.
Now pray we get two more picks in the next 7 years. Then we’ll have the courts the closest to what our forefathers envisioned almost 250 years ago.
It could not come at a worse time. A final confirmation vote will probably be called just weeks before an election in which Democrats are defending a sprawling battleground, including 10 states carried by Trump,
—
From that poorly written sentence, you’d imagine that DJT carried only 10 states.
Senators will never vote to jeopardize their own seats.
If Buzzie keeled over now the left would completely explode..kinda happy thought.
They will vote party over people every time, count on it.
The timing of all of this is very favorable for the Republicans. It’s hard to imagine that all of the threatened Democrat Senators will have the political courage to commit suicide to deny President Trump’s nominee. When the first Democrat caves (Testor, Donnelly, Manchin, or Heitkamp), Collins and Murkowski will come back to the fold and the rest of the doomed Democrats will jump on the bandwagon. I don’t think that the final vote will be close, and the Democrat temper tantrums between now and Election Day will help us across the board.
Bummer. Sucks to be them.
Supporting the Founders Intent regarding the United States Constitution puts People into a terrible bind?
If you live in North Korea it does.
So much for principle.
Lives, fortunes, sacred honor... not for this lot, eh?
Sun Tzu says the side with the stronger reason to fight and more vibrant leadership has the advantage ... the so called moral law.
This law appears to not just express itself in the measurable physical realm, but also as luck or fortune.
We call it 'The Trump Curse.' Generally it's expressed from the perspective of the other side (i.e. curse on them rather than our fortune or luck) because usually the aggression is initiated from that side, so it appears as blowback on them, a curse on their action.
That's not to say Trump is only lucky, but in addition to many of the benefits of his overt action and strategy, there does seem to be an element of certain things falling into place unplanned. May it continue. And that's also not to say that Trump and small c conservatives aren't getting attacked from every side ... we are and he is ... but luck and fortune are certainly not our enemy in the past couple years.
The corollary is that when the political right was led by the spineless and unmoral, not only did their strategy fail, the chips unrelated to strategy seldom fell in their favor, or really anyone's.
Since the left is Godless, they can not acknowledge anything that can't be measured. So they are trapped in their thinking, which can only manipulate representations of measurable, cognizable things.
An old martial arts mentor, speaking of the spiritual, used to say "you can't see the invisible with the visible" ... meaning, there is no knowing the invisible with the mere six sense holes (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body (feeling), mind/cognition (mind is a sense in that thought system))
So I hope the left stays blind to the invisible. There will be much less suffering in the world that way, and probably why representations of the strongest of mythological evil entities always seem to have SOME sense of the invisible, some magic (black), but not transparent magic. It's impossible to see clearly and also be the source of suffering. There may be pain which is simply life, but not suffering.
So God is not just beyond thinking, God is beyond mind. That doesn't circumscribe God, but does touch on what He is not circumscribed by, where we can't look.
But alas, it's beautiful out and I should be outside!
Terrible, just terrible.
They’re hurt either way. Vote ‘no’ they alienate a majority of the electorate in Conservative states and by voting “yes’ the Democrat base will be so outraged that many will vote Green or some other goofy party.
