You would still be seven short of sixty. And that’s assuming that people like McCain, Graham, Sasse, or Flake vote with the rest of the Republicans.
“WV Sen. Machins will probably go with the GOP as he is up for re-election, and should be a Republican anyway.”
I agree with that. I also understand that he offered to caucus with the Republicans but they turned him down. I think Sen Machin is more Conservative than say McCain or Linda Graham.
His first nomination needs to be Attorney General. So as to start the ball rolling on the overhaul of the DOJ.
Yes, they lying scumbag will probably try to play 'conservative'. It's an act. Don't let him fool you.
and should be a Republican anyway.
No, he should be selling used cars in Farmington.
And actually... the bible says that by God’s mercy, man’s age (in this age) would reach 80. Scalia kicked the bucket at 79. Maybe a reason for the Lord allowing such longevity in the USSC is that, even with wrongheaded policy, at least America can know what the policy is.
Till now, when Trump mattered. Now it was cast in doubt, so that people could see the doubt, and react.
The more I live, the more I believe in God’s miracles of unexpected preservation. I might have been dead years ago due to a number of things. I probably ought to be dead now. God just flatly said no to that. My job here isn’t finished.
I don’t think Elaine Chao was necessarily Trump’s first choice for Transportation Secretary.
I think The Art of the Deal is underway here.
Trump operates from hunches quite a lot.
If it’s God who is giving him the hunches... we’re going to see some very unexpected people do some very unexpected things. She’s “approximately OK” — certainly head and shoulders over anything a Democrat administration would come up with — but not the most stellar at the moment. That’s OK. Stars turn into supernovas.
Conservative Review ratings:
McConnell: 40%
McCain: 32%
Graham: 30%
Manchin: 16%
FYI
Truth said!
Who is Merrick Garland?
Ratings like this really ought to be a vector, not a scalar. And even yet they may fail to notice hidden tendencies that will come out under unusual conditions.
I am hoping that Congress DOES NOT recess & allow Obama to appoint any SC justice as a recess appointment. |
He will do that-—bet on it.
So R.I.P. Antonin. If you believed on Christ for salvation of your soul, your eternity is secured and there won’t be any more judicial nonsense for you to put up with. Not with the heavenly Supreme Court that never errs.
I’m a WEST Virginia mountaineer ... I’ve seen the smarmy bastard before he was senator. He’s a snake, IMO, with ‘hidden’ tendencies to lurch left at any opportunity. Somehow, he has fooled a lot of people out-of-state. We’ll see in two years how many of US he has fooled.
That's why she'll filibuster, nothing to lose, and go out being a hero to the looney left.
Or we’ll see in two years how God once more said “I’ve got the X-ray eyes. Fooled all you smarties!”
But I WILL vote against him in 2018.
You should rather say, “If the Lord wills, I will vote against him in 2018.”
Easy, put the senate in recess on 1/21 and let President Trump make recess appointments and then do the confirmation dance afterwards.
