I agree with Sen. Hawley!

We need to rethink our method of vetting SCOTUS judges.

The system is NOT working!

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

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.

Any Clarence-Thomas type of judge wouldn’t be approved by the Senate.

There are too many female RINOs to vote down any abortion opponent.

The Federalist Society should be disbanded at this point. They completely failed in their job with Gorsuch and Robert’s voting to enshrine Transsexuals and Homosexuals under the Civil Rights Act.

Anyone involved in the Federalist Sociery should be made a pariah as well.

Gorsuch has been a real disappointment.

“There is the more secretive and narrow process of judicial selection that brought us David Souter and John Roberts,” said Leonard Leo, who was involved in the Supreme Court confirmation of Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Gorsuch. “And there is the process that President Trump established and created which is to create as much transparency as possible by publishing a list for all conservatives to see and respond to.”

And there is the option to look for right-wing activist judges who we know will be a sure vote for conservative causes, just as the Left picks reliable left-wing votes for the high court. The Federalist Society has let conservatives down, and we can't sit around waiting to see if they ever get it right.

Thank GOD. Please please please intervene in this process. I don’t even think Kavanaugh was a good pick. And roberts is a complete loser.

Don’t go to Federalist Society...go to NRA. If they are right on guns they will be right on everything else. And for Christ’s sake no more east coast Ivy League types, Geez!

Sorry to disappoint but if we ever were to manage to somehow get a conservative pro-American SC, the left would either pack the court with lefties at their earliest possible convenience or threaten/harass/impeach their way to a leftist run court. We are trying to work within the system but our opponents will not. We need to be in separate countries.

Establish a review committee comprised of Tucker Carlson, Pat Buchanan, and Rand Paul, with only judges that all three of them endorse getting nominated.

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.

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.

You have to remember that the response of the Democrats and their Media to a Republican Supreme Court nominee resembles the attack of Saruman's Orc army on Helm's Deep in The Lord Of The Rings.

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.

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's grade on Judge picking is F-minus when compared to Obama.

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.

Gorsuch was a former member of the CFR-Council on Foreign Relations. Take all those types off the list, as well as any other globalist promoting organizations.

The laws regarding discrimination never entertained the idea of sexual orientation at all. The court has once again infringed on legislative responsibility.
