I understand that Heritage Society has been getting money from Google. Do we trust their recommendations? The real problem is like a person contemplating what he would do if he won 10 million dollars in the lottery. He has all sorts of good deeds and thrifty uses of that money but he then wins it and everything inside him changes because now he can have all that stuff he used to dream about.
NO way, he thinks Anwar al-Awlaki’s kids, born in Yemen to one citizen parent, are natural born citizens eligible to be President.
(if he is, they are)
I hope he is but that wretched court just failed to hear any 2A cases. I don’t know what role if any he played in that.
Social conservatives have always been the red-headed stepchildren of the Establishment wing of the Republican Party. We are hated by the Establishment more than they hate Democrats.
Conservative lives matter!
How many conservative Protestants are currently serving on the Supreme Court? (waiting..., waiting...)
Apart from Clarence Thomas, how many Supreme Court Justices are from the South, the Midwest, or the Great Plains? (waiting..., waiting)
Bigotry and prejudice writ large. Very large.
Does it ever!!!!!
I think Thomas and Alito do not trust Roberts and do not want him undoing the Heller and MacDonald decisions, so they’re avoiding those cases until there is at least another Trump pick, maybe two.
Well... Gorsuch was touted as a "conservative Protestant" on here and the vast majority of FReepers immediately accepted that premise.
Those of us who warned that "conservative" Gorsuch attended some kooky liberal "social justice" activist protestant church were ignored and flatly dismissed.
Gorsuch is an Episcopalian with perverted ministers. He would have switched to the Anglican church if he had been conservative.
That’s what I knew.
What we are seeing is not any more complicated than the left being bullies, and the justices being chicken. I don’t think it has anything to do with their legal philosophies. And you can’t tell who has the fortitude to stand up to this BS until they are on the court.
Only more violent and fanatical.
Do you think that future SC candidates aren't going to be thinking about what they did to Kavanaugh?
If the DemoOrcs NEVER pay a price for their lies and character assassinations, they'll continue on their merry way.

Politics is the art of the possible.
The POTUS is stuck with appointing human beings; there have been few who haven’t been corrupted by the power, and they will always be a minority. The best that starting with a ‘conservative’ does is to slow down the process.
President Trump has been under constant siege from the beginning so Trump supporters tend to reflexively support whatever he does, whoever he endorses.
Personally, I believe we need to ignore his endorsements and primary out the Bush League Republicans or we will never be able to do the swamp draining that only we can do.
Re-electing the same Bush League Republicans who have been secretly and openly undermining his (and our) agenda is counter-productive.
He has endorsed McCain, Romney, Graham and others who are the very people pushing the policy of turning the USA into North Mexico that we elected Trump to reverse.
“There are quite a few new Trump Appeals Court and district judges confirmed in 52 - 48 votes. Within that group are a number of VERY good and VERY young potential Supreme Court nominees.”
Good point. The Dims probably vet the Republican nominees better than the Republicans do. And when every Dim votes against one of the nominees, you have to conclude that candidate is likely to be a very good choice.
I hope you are right. After the democrats murdered Scalia those are the only ones I trust right now.
Those are really the only two conservatives on the court.
Gorsuch and Kavanaugh are the moderates.
Roberts is the swinger.
And then we have the four leftists.
“Establish a review committee comprised of Tucker Carlson, Pat Buchanan, and Rand Paul,...”
...and me!
The weird thing is that his Attorney General pick was clearly FAR more socially conservative than either of his SCOTUS nominees (Barr is on record saying publicly on numerous occasions that Roe v. Wade was a terrible decision and should be overturned, that Christians are under attack in a culture war, etc., etc.), but some of Trump's biggest fans on here were vehemently AGAINST his Attorney General pick and kept sneering he was a "swamp creature"
I said it at the time and its even more obvious now, I would take his "bad" Attorney General nominee over his "originalist" SCOTUS nominees any day.
In one decision, Gorsuch has proven himself to be a lifelong homosexualist spy who made it to the top by ingratiating himself for years with Leonard Leo and his network.
I realize there is “no religious test” but no practicing Episcopalian who attends a conformist ECUSA church should be on any conservative’s shortlist. And Gorsuch should further have been dumped when he tried to distance himself from Trump during the nomination process. Since his election, I have yet to meet a true conservative who hates or fears Trump.
Leonard Leo failed us, despite being a great guy. We need a better process. Trump’s process was an improvement, but we can’t afford screw-ups like Gorsuch.
I support Hawley in this general statement. Leonard Leo needs to eat some crow and display some humility. If Leo can’t propose improvements himself, then he needs to get out of the picture and let someone else do the vetting.
Trump Total Circuit Judges - 53
Trump Circuit Judges with At Least 20 Democrat Votes - 11
Trump Total District Judges - 143
Trump District Judges With At Least 20 Democrat Votes - 94
The last time the Democrat Party made a mistake with ANY federal judge was 1962 - when JFK nominated centrist Byron White to the Supreme Court.
