Candidate Trump promised a conservative appointment to the SC and President Trump made good on that promise. Bravo, Mr. President!
Great! We caught back up to where we were after the devastating loss of Justice Scalia. Hopefully we can get some new Constitutional Justices soon - for America’s sake!
Bravo, is right! And, again, thank God Trump won. Had HRC won, we would have watched this morning someone sworn in who would have set this country on a trajectory from which there would b no recovery.
Thank God, thank God, thank God!
This was one of my top 5 reasons for voting for Trump. Thanks you Mr. President! Well, actually I decided to vote for Trump regardless but SCOTUS was one of my major concerns.
Nothing 'controversial' about Harry Reid nuking the filibuster for circuit court judges in 2013, huh Yahoo?
President Trump just delivered another promise to the American People...
Now ask SCOTUS to take-up the Ninth Circus rulings on immigration.
I don’t care if they call it controversial, just that they did it.
Not that it matters but best looking Justice EVER !
And here I thought it was Dirty Harry Reid who made the rule change.
Yeah, they can go to town now. I hope they go all in-their-face with restrictions, because we know they’re perfectly legal, but we weren’t sure we had a court that would back us up. Sad.
Everything this is controversial. Even when President Trump goes to the can it is controversial.
Big Radio told me this morning that this was the “one bright spot” in Trump’s multiple bad adjectives presidency.
FU, Big Radio!
Bitch about Syria all you want (I sure do) but this is one of the big things we elected Trump to do. He’s repealed several Obama executive orders, brought some jobs back, and given us a decent supreme court justice that has actually read the constitution. All, things worth celebrating.
Now lets pray that Goresuch doesn’t become another Anthony Kennedy.
Hallelujah!!!
We still need to discover who murdered Justice Scalia.
The Reid Rule was controversial when the dems did it a few years ago.
All that was done now was an extension of the Reid Rule to include when voting on Supreme Justice votes.
This is the only thing I have ever seen that Reid was responsible for that turned out good for our Constitutional Republic.
The libtards are NOT thinking they have nothing they can do about the supreme court for the next 30 years, they will simply do what they did to Scalia.
Obama wanted Garland to have the seat before hilLIARy could make the next pick.
Don’t go on a camping or hunting trip Gorsuch
