Just WOW!
Most U.S. Senators elected as conservatives start out great and then become part of the Washington swamp network. McCain, Hatch and Toomey being prime examples. Sen. Helms was one of the few who got better with age and Sen. Hawley looks like he might become such an exception as well.
Select someone who can’t be BLACKMAILED like Roberts is!
Sound thinking. God bless him.
Definitely throwing some shade at the President’s two picks. And dropping bombs on Bush 2’s pick, that f*cking fraud. But, I wonder if his views conflict with some of the folks on the President’s short list, especially someone like Barrett and a few of the other women. Not that being woman is the only reason to pick any of them, but it is what it is. Can’t have an all male SCOTUS, not happening in this day and age.
GOP and the powerful, conservative Federalist Society’s tendency to focus on justices who have established records of conservative and libertarian business and government rulings, but no firmly established record of rulings that protect either marriage or the lives of the unborn.
Hawley is right, IMHO. If you’re on the record as being against that decision, then your Conservative Card is more or less punched.
Some of the other stuff is a no-brainer. I say that with the caveat that Roberts is and will continue to be a complete disaster, for as long as he is there. And he’ll only get worse. He’ll go further than Kennedy, who voted out of compassion as his time came to an end, and be worse as he’ll do it on spite for all those that loathe him. A list that continues to grow. Hopefully, if the President gets to replace RBG, and maybe another Lib on the court, Roberts will take his leave knowing that he won’t matter anymore. One can hope.
Only gun owners who truly respect the second amendment. That is sole criteria I care about.
Word is that Hawley is positioning for a Whitehouse run in 2024. So far I like what I see but he caved on renaming the military bases.
Litmus tests exist for a reason.
I’ve used litmus paper many times.
Make sure they can’t be blackmailed.
Have either of Trump's selections ever said Roe was OK? What makes him think any future one will?
And should Biden win then the chance of Hawley ever voting to confirm them hovers somewhere between zero and none. Josh is grandstanding again.
Nice. However he is essentially guaranteeing that Trump will never appoint another SCOTUS justice. If someone actually met Hawley’s criteria there will be an army of ‘pro-life’ GOP ready to reject him over it. On the other hand, if Trump offers someone up who doesn’t pass Hawley’s litmus test his vote probably will be enough to tank the nominee.
Someone get the smelling salts for Snowe, Murkowski and 25 other republicans.
Better, by still not good enough.
We’ve been sold out by Reagan (Sandra Day O’Connor, Bush I (Souter) Bish II (Roberts, and an attempted sell out with Harriet Meyers). These betrayals led to the murder of tens of millions of innocent persons.
Saying that Row v Wade was “wrongly decided” would be nice, but we need a nominee who says the full truth.
He needs to say something like this:
“I agree with Mr Justice Thomas who wrote ‘The Jurisprudence of this Court has NO BASIS in the Constitution of the United States’
Moreover, The 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection of the laws for all persons clearly mean that any law that restricts or prohibits murder also applies fully to abortion.”
