I have to wonder if the democrat’s rage is fake and they’re actually happy with the pic.
“Who in the hey is advising Trump on this?”
The same people they gave us the last guy.
Remember? The one we were told was a “plant” because of his “liberal church”?
So here we are again with people that dont know enough to not pop off on these picks, and have all of a sudden become experts on folks they just met a week ago.
“Defy” is wrong verb for headline. You “defy” someone who has a higher position over you. Children defy parents. Parents don’t “defy” children.
“Ignore” or “Dismiss” is more accurate in this situation.
That sir, is an understatement, of Biblical proportions.
This idea of pre-judging a Justice's vote as criteria is an absurdity.
President Trump does not play to lose. Absurd.
If the RINOS and Dims do not approve all heaven will break out in November as the voters kick them out of office. Could this be the plan?
But would that be a loss?
They need to realize we need all the votes we can get when it comes to RBG's replacement!!!!
You either weren’t paying attention then or aren’t now. These times presidentially are a 180 from either set of “Bush years”.
McConnell should be willing to work for a living. He was only trying to avoid going through more arguments generated by the larger number of decisions in Kavanaugh’s good record.
McConnell should have ignored the lazy voice in his head and welcomed the confirmation process of the best nominee for the Supreme Court, but he decided to risk being exposed as a slacker. Well, he’s exposed.
I kept telling you it would be Kavanaugh! /s
Either Trump lied to me about Hardiman or the guy I was communicating with on line wasn’t really Trump.
First...It would amount to a "dumb pick"....and change the timeline of seating a nominee for the opening Court Session in October.
The Dems want to drag it out. They want the seat unoccupied and 4/4 as long as possible.
Funny you should say about the “eyes,” I looked at him and thought “Christopher Wrey.”
I pray I am wrong and be pleasantly surprised.
I can only hope.
The President often turns out to be right.
very good
“He thinks Kethledge would be easy to confirm because Kethledge is not a consistent conservative.”
Isn’t that special.
Heller v. D.C. - Appeals (2010-2011, not the 2008 case)
https://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opinions.nsf/DECA496973477C748525791F004D84F9/%24file/10-7036-1333156.pdf#page=46
[Excerpts:]
“KAVANAUGH, Circuit Judge, dissenting:...
[...]
In my judgment, both D.C.’s ban on semi-automatic rifles and its gun registration requirement are unconstitutional under Heller.
In Heller, the Supreme Court held that handguns – the vast majority of which today are semi-automatic – are constitutionally protected because they have not traditionally been banned and are in common use by law-abiding citizens. There is no meaningful or persuasive constitutional distinction between semi-automatic handguns and semi-automatic rifles. Semi-automatic rifles, like semi-automatic handguns, have not traditionally been banned and are in common use by law-abiding citizens for self-defense in the home, hunting, and other lawful uses. Moreover, semi-automatic handguns are used in connection with violent crimes far more than semi-automatic rifles are. It followsfrom Heller’s protection of semi-automatic handguns that semi-automatic rifles are also constitutionally protected and that D.C.’s ban on them is unconstitutional.
[...]
In my view, Heller and McDonald leave little doubt that courts are to assess gun bans and regulations based on text, history, and tradition, not by a balancing test such as strict or intermediate scrutiny.”
Suck it up, buttercup....
