Hawley has a “C” for a Liberty Score. He’s not the conservative you want....unless you’re looking for a non-conservative.

Cruz should never be on the court.
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.

A reminder that by 1992, 8 of the 9 were GOP appointees. All but Byron White.

Blackmun, Souter, Stevens timed their resignations to turn their seat over to the DEMS.

It’s as if the GOP were populated mostly by RINO’s.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s fact, the elected GOP are mostly Bush League Republicans.

Hawley’s a right-winger in a purplish state. The last governor to be elected there won by about 6%. Mike Lee, who gets CR’s highest score, 98%, is a right-winger in a deep red state. The current governor of UT won by 38%.

Lee voted against Trump’s Emergency Declaration that gave him the funds to build a wall. Hawley voted for it. Lee is in far-left Silicon Valley’s pocket. Hawley wants to regulate Silicon Valley in areas ranging from free speech issues to antitrust. Lee is against it. Bottom line - Conservative Review might as well be named Plutocratic Review, for all the attention it pays to grassroots conservative issues. Lip service to abortion won’t cut it any more.

"RINO's"

We need a more descriptive term that smears them more.

Something along the lines of "Republicans For The Paycheck Only".

I kind of like Bush League Republican, it evokes the globalist open borders view most of them share with Democrats.

>> A reminder that by 1992, 8 of the 9 were GOP appointees. All but Byron White. <<

As I noted in post #48, I dispute Leonard Leo's argument that today's "conservative" SCOTUS is superior to the one we had 25-30 years ago, and we wouldn't want to trade them for the 1990s era Supreme Court hearing today's cases.

Even with the treasonous Souter and Stevens voting just like RAT appointees, I'd much rather risk the 1991-1992 era Rehnquist Court hearing the cases, than I would with the current justices on the Roberts court.

I think a number of the current 5-4 liberal "precedents" being established in 2020 would instead end up 6-3 VICTORIES for our side (Rehnquist, Scalia, Thomas, O'Connor, Kennedy, White) if those judges came forward in a time machine to hear today's cases.

Blackmun, Souter, Stevens timed their resignations to turn their seat over to the DEMS.

Safely in the middle of Rapin Bill's first term: Blackmun [appointed by Richard Nixon] announced his retirement from the Supreme Court in April 1994 [age 85], four months before he officially left the bench, assuming retired status on August 3, 1994. By then, he had become the court's most liberal justice. In his place, President Bill Clinton nominated Stephen Breyer who was confirmed by the Senate 87–9.

We're still cursed with 82-year-old Breyer.

Made it to the Halfrican Reign of Error: Long before the election of President Zero, Souter [appointed by Grabby Poppy Bush] had expressed a desire to leave Washington, D.C., and return to his native New Hampshire.

The election of a Democommie president in 2008 made 70-year-old Souter more inclined to retire, but he did not want to create a situation in which there would be multiple vacancies at once. Souter [age 70] apparently became satisfied that no other justices planned to retire at the end of the Supreme Court's term in June 2009.

As a result, in mid-April 2009 he privately notified the White House of his intent to retire at the conclusion of that term. Souter sent The Kenyan Klown a retirement letter on May 1, effective at the start of the Supreme Court's 2009 summer recess. Later that day Oblabya made an unscheduled appearance during the daily White House press briefing to announce Souter's retirement.

On May 26, 2009, ClownBammy announced his nomination of federal appeals court judge Sonia Sotomayor. She was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on August 6.

Forunately, The Wide Latina is not so wise when it comes to her long-term health, so we may catch a break in Trump's second term.

Givin' another one to the Kenyan Klown: Stevens, age 90, [appointed by Gerald Ford] retired on June 29, 2010 as the third-longest-serving justice in the history of the Supreme Court with 34 years and six months of service and just three days short of tying the tenure of the second-longest serving justice in history, Stephen Johnson Field (1863–1897) who retired in December 1, 1897.

John Jerk Stevens' gift to us all is Elena Kagan.

Thanks, you drooling old Trotskyite.

We all remember that you attacked Brett Kavanaugh from your diaper-changing room because he had the temerity to defend himself from "charges" made up out of whole cloth by your fellow traveling Comrades in the Senate and the Media.

======================================

Looking over this list of sordid turncoat-ism, I'll note that God has a couple of months to pay something down on the Dems' karma bill...

“This has been problem for the GOP for quite some time.”

IIRC 21 of the past 28 SCOTUS oligarchs are GOP appointments. Each of the most destructive decisions over the past couple of generations was written by “GOP” justices.

I know. I’ve been through the episcopal church disaster so I know all about this fraud of a church. So sad. The original Church of Colonial America I think. The reason for the separation of church and state. Because they didn’t want to be like England.

When a globalist like Bush puts up a fraud like Roberts, this is what happens, I guess.

Biggest problem is not with the process itself, it’s who is counseling the President on the credentials and McConnell. The President doesn’t know who any of these people are. He’s relying on the advice of others. I think he’s overwhelmed with how corrupt everything about DC is and how so many on “ the right” are Globalist/Uniparty a-holes.
