Why is it that a progressive like RBG works til she dies in office, but a Constitutionalist like Justice Thomas wants to retire early? (Rhetorical question.)

Exactly right. We need a solid conservative judge who will not legislate from the bench or get squishy.

I am tired of gender pandering we also take part in.

I want the soundest and best, first.

What gender bits they have, have zero to do with anyone’s ability to do the job.

We don’t have time to nominate a male with all the sexual abuse antics that will be thrown at him. Nominating a woman is the safest bet to get confirmation done before the election. Hard to accuse a woman of sexual malfeasance.

“They need a more under the radar candidate who is also strongly conservative but not one the liberals can easily brand as a radical”

yeah, another “moderate” like John Roberts, right?

“Lisa Murkowski. That’s the only way he’s going to get her support for whomever he nominates.”

no doubt Murkowski would happily go for another John Roberts ...

Agreed! ACB is who he needs to pick, no time to be weak kneed. This is a historical, generational change moment.

No more women. There are enough now already, since it has been recently increased. Cut it back to what it was before Elena Kagan replaced John Paul Stevens. Will a woman be approachable for overturning Roe v. Wade?

Think of 3 litmus factors: (1) Right to life for unborn babies; (2) Right to Ownership/Keeping and Bearing of personal arms; and (3) Constitutional Law and Order.

Women judges have not been in the forefront of these issues in the recent past, have they?

“Lagoa will juice Cuban turnout in Miami and give Trump votes.”

unbelievably foolish to appoint someone to a lifetime tenure on SCOUTUS just to win a state that’s already going to vote for Trump anyway ...

I would guess Judge Roberts is like any old republican, on the court for life? No thank you. It needs to be ACB

I guess the Borking and the Bretting succeeded.

“Our side” is now nominating those that their Identity Politics group demands.

My primary concern is that the justice that replaces the communist Ginsberg be a Constitutionalist.

I don’t care if it is a man or woman.

I don’t care what race or religion.

Saying the nominee will be “a woman” is as good as admitting defeat.

“Oh, and I forgot the most important part, demonicRATS will rip her to shreds.”

so? they’ll try to rip to shreds pretty much anybody but another “moderate” like John Roberts, the guy who provided the 5th vote for obamacare and the utter destruction of the First Amendment ...

I disagree, Florida can be decisive and we should use every opportunity to win it.
