I broke the thread!
Well! I just will talk to myself!
For what it’s worth, I’m here. Just trying to digest this announcement. Not sure he’s the best of the best, but until I find out otherwise, I’ll trust The Donald....
My preference was Barrett but this is a solid pick, groomed on the DC Court of Appeals (the Turtle better get a nomination for that bench ASAP) & Anthony Kennedy’s recommendation. It’s also an olive branch to the GOPe which POTUS needs unity, not only for the pick, but for the “plan” as well ;)
In 2011 did Bernie Sanders have some kind of ethical mar on his record? I know he put himself out there as the “poorest person in the Senate”.
Maybe Q will talk now that upstaging timeframe is elapsed.
I was wondering that, too ... it’s quite the silence to have that last repost on Independence Day left hanging there ;)
The Never-Trumpers also have to eat a big serving of crow this evening - they advised conservatives should have voted for HRC and then, tonight, we’d be seeing some far left zealot appointed instead of Brett Kavanaugh.
Kavanaugh seems pretty solid even though I read some concerns about him. He sounded very balanced and grounded when he spoke. I think Barrett will be a great choice but will be easier to get through the Senate as Rs increase numbers. Ginsberg, I thought she was going to keel over a long time ago. But woman for woman, Barrett will be a great pick. So, hopeful Kavanaugh gets through and will govern as a textualist.
May be keeping Barrett for RBG seat.
Never-Trumpers wanted people to vote third party. They should be excited and ashamed for their short sightedness. But power is calling and I read Sasse is thinking of running for POTUS in ‘20. He is such a light weight and pugnacious.
Sounds a bit like agent Steele shopping his “Dossiere” around to the media and submitting it to the FBI as legitimate research.
Things appear to be coming together!
The guy looks good. Nice family. Sense of humor. His resume sounds great. Of course, the deepies will go after his Catholicism. The "dirt" on him will come out soon enough. Let's keep an eye out for their major meme against him. Abortion, women's right, anti-gay, racism. Probably one of those. We'll know by tomorrow if not tonight.
This one will be brutal, no matter what fake dirt they dig up on this guy.
Just one observation. While I was watching this guy at the podium, all I could think of was Littlefinger (he's the spitting image to my foggy eye sockets.)
I hope this isn't him in front of the Senate Judiciary committee.
My sister asked you a question.
p.s. This guy is young. If he turns out to be a superstar, he will be on the court for maybe 40 or more years. :)

Derp.
My sister asked you a question. AGAIN!

I like that hes a top-flight intellectual, who can make his decisions clear. Hes been influential off the Supreme Court bench. Hell be a superstar on it.
I think there is a lot more to her look of displeasure than the airplane ride!
If Mark Taylor is right we could get all four nominees.
I. Want. More. Q.
