Cotton: Americans want judges 'who understand the difference between making the law and applying the law'
Fox News ^ | Angelica Stabile

Senator says Dems view Supreme Court as 'rubber stamp for their radical left-wing agenda'..

The Senate will not wait on processing a nominee to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark.

...

With 43 days left before the presidential election, Cotton told MacCallum he’s certain Trump will be reelected and voters will return a Republican Senate majority.

“[Americans] want to see judges on the Supreme Court who understand the difference between making the law and applying the law,” he said. “In part because they see what the Democrats are already promising to do and now they've started threatening it even more explicitly since Justice Ginsburg's death on Friday.”

...

Several prominent Democrats have threatened to “pack” the Supreme Court if the vacancy left by Ginsburg's death is filled before an election in which Democrats take the White House and Senate. According to Cotton, Democrats see the highest court in the land as nothing more than a “rubber stamp for their radical left-wing agenda.”

“That's a reason why the American people are not going to vote for Democrats come November 3rd,” he said. “But whatever happens in terms of the timing of the president's nomination, the Senate will move forward without delay. We'll take a careful, thorough, deliberate approach to it and we will confirm that nominee. I am confident.”

I can only speak for myself, but what I want is judges who actually know the law and not just how to politic and fellate their way into better job postings for life

and

judges that will honor their oath of office and adhere to the Constitution as written and amended

or

said judges will be dragged off the bench, thrown in front of a court, tried as enemy of the Constitution and for waging war against the rule of law, then be executed in a public place.

Jordan was just on Fox and stated the importance of selecting an RBG replacement as it is perfectly clear the dems are intent on selecting the next president after the election takes place.
Citing liberal judges granting dems the continued acceptance of votes for days and in certain cases two weeks after election day.

I’m always interested in what senators Cotton, Cruz and Hawley have to say about the nominees.

Well, I hope that’s what we want, but I’ve been learning a little more lately. We’re not lawyers. That’s a good thing in a way. ;)

But we don’t know enough about what ambitious people wanting to be appointed to the Supreme Court might have done to get there. So maybe we should be wary of those who have tried a little too hard to be nominated by posing politically and socially.

Maybe we should allow the President to choose a judge who is faithful to our Constitution but has not tried to legislate from the bench or posed as one who might do so.

The election is our most important concern and something that we can certainly do something about, if we try.

The USA is a MUCH different place culturally, legally and demographically from what it was when Biden first ran for President, in 1927.

IMPORTANT
Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said he believed President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick would be confirmed before the election.

Cruz said such action was justified by the U.S. Senate, given the possibility the high court would have to weigh in on the presidential election.

JOE BIDEN has been explicit. He has said, IF HE DOESN’T WIN HE WILL CHALLENGE THE ELECTION. He’s going to go to court. He’s going to challenge it. He’s already hired a big legal team. Hillary Clinton has told Joe Biden, “Under no circumstances should you concede.” Given that, there is a serious risk of a constitutional crisis, IF JOE BIDEN is bringing litigation, like we had in Bush v. Gore but IN FIVE OR TEN STATES…

It talks about the epic battle where AL GORE CHALLENGED THE ELECTION RESULTS, AND FOR 36 DAYS, THE COUNTRY WAS HELD IN CHAOS.

Well, IF JOE BIDEN DOES THIS AGAIN THIS YEAR AND WE HAVE AN EQUALLY DIVIDED 8 (SUPREME COURT), 4-4, CAN’T DECIDE ANYTHING.

That could make this PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION DRAGS ON FOR WEEKS AND MONTHS AND WELL INTO NEXT YEAR! That is an INTOLERABLE SITUATION FOR THIS COUNTRY. We NEED a FULL COURT ON ELECTION DAY, given the VERY HIGH LIKELIHOOD that we’re going to SEE LITIGATION THAT GOES TO COURT.

WE NEED A SUPREME COURT THAT CAN GIVE A DEFINITIVE ANSWER FOR THE COUNTRY.

It you want a clear, historically accurate description of how the Founders and their Constitution intended justice to be administered in this republic, slide out to 11 minutes for Barr’s introduction and his excellent remarks.
If you care about how the most powerful civilian organization in our country SHOULD operate (and failed to starting well BEFORE Trump’s election), this is well worth watching and sharing.
And, as a further incentive, Pelosi, Schumer, their demoncrat anarchists and DEEP STATE apparatchiks DO NOT want you to know any of this!

Beria died in a bullet riddled sack when Stalin was through with him.
May the same fate befall the marxists like the Klintoons, AOC and her moronic squad when Soros and the other Rothschild globalist dipwads are through with them.

Put it on PAY-PER-VIEW. Probably retire the national debt about 20 judges into the season.
