It all went exactly according to plan. The senators all got their allotted time to pontificate and whine on the Senate floor; Mitch McConnell was able to sum everything up, excoriating the Democrats for their pathetic petulance and rank hypocrisy; 52 Republican senators did the right thing and voted to confirm the new Supreme Court Justice; 47 Democrats were joined by despicable RINO Susan Collins in voting against her; and finally, exactly one month to the day after she was nominated and eight days before Election Day 2020, Amy Coney Barrett was sworn in as the 115th associate justice to the U.S. Supreme Court by fellow Justice Clarence Thomas.
Happy Birthday, Hillary Clinton!

Thus, a new day in America dawns with a reliable 5-4 constitutionalist majority on the Supreme Court that would be 6-3 were Chief Justice John Roberts not so obviously compromised and siding more and more frequently with the Court’s three remaining leftist activists.
But hey, 5-4 is all we need to secure the liberties guaranteed us under the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Our new Justice will be on the job today, probably showing up for work as I write this piece, and will have the ability to weigh in on every case the Court sees from here on out. Given what we know will be a massive effort by the Democrats to steal this election during the days and weeks after November 3, the presence of a 5th firmly constitutionalist justice is quite reassuring.
Regardless of how this election turns out – and signs continue to be that it will turn out well for President Trump – America is now blessed with the fact that Donald John Trump has appointed fully 1/3rd of the current Supreme Court roster and stands to very likely appoint at least two more during his second term. No president in American history has kept his promises in the way this President has done, and his promise to appoint strict constructionist conservative judges is chief among them.
In addition to his three sterling appointments to the Supreme Court, President Trump has now appointed and had confirmed a whopping 162 federal district court judges and 53 to the various U.S. courts of appeals. Even better, he currently has 53 nominees before the Senate, and 2 additional court of appeals openings left to fill before the end of the year.
What he and Mitch McConnell have achieved – together with Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham, who have chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee over the past four years – has been truly epic, a focus on filling vacant judgeships that is unprecedented in its successful execution. It is a legacy that will endure for decades. It is a stunning, consequential achievement.
We are seeing its fruits in the lead up to this election, with decision after decision by the federal courts to deny depraved Democrats in their crass efforts to extend vote-counting by days and weeks in various states so that their operatives can invent enough fraudulent votes to steal the presidency. Again yesterday, the Supreme Court denied an attempt by Democrats in Wisconsin to count mail-in ballots that are post-marked up to 6 days after Election Day, an obvious attempt to engage in massive voter fraud.
In these decisions and so many others we see just how crucial Trump’s win in 2016 over the Pantsuit Princess truly was for our nation. Elections have consequences and no presidential election in our history has been more consequential than the last one.
Well, except maybe for this current one, that is. If we wish to preserve all of the incredible array of Trump accomplishments in office, he simply must win a second term in office given that Biden/Harris Harris/Biden have promised to move the clock back to 2016 in so many ways.
Which brings us right back to how important it was to get Amy Coney Barrett ensconced and working on the Supreme Court this week, where she can join four other reliable constitutionalist justices serving as a bulwark against the most extreme excesses of this communist Democrat Party.
God Bless Donald Trump for her nomination and the 52 members of the U.S. Senate for confirming her.
That is all.
Yeah. Cause you can’t trust Roberts
Reliable conservative majority. Chief Justice John Roberts can no longer serve as a “swing vote”.
A great uncertainty has been lifted from the minds of ALL Americans. The liberal-Left can be pretty sure that the super-legislature function of the Supreme Court is now gone for the present. Those not of fanatical devotion for legal reformation can be assured that issues will be judged on their merit, not by who has the biggest bullhorn.
According to CNN last night the ceremony was nothing more than another super spreader event. Same with all the rallies.
Now someone needs to find a way to reason with Roberts and help him to understand that his best life going forward is as a private citizen, living comfortably off his payola that appeared in his account at the bank of Cyprus after his ruling on 0bamacare.
But will we hold the Senate to keep thus moving in the right direction?
it’s amazing that “Constitutional Majority” even has to be uttered to clarify SCOTUS make-up
I don’t blindly trust justices. I’ll give it some time to see how she interprets the law. Hopefully the headline is true.
Kavanaugh and Gorsuch have both wandered away a couple times from the Originalist and Textualist philosophy that I hoped they supported.
It would be brash to call them Swing Votes, but I will still hold my breath about both of them every time they have a critical Conservative issue to vote on.
Reliable? No. Occasional? Yes. Gorsuch is a bit wobbly. But it’s still as good as we’ve ever had.
In reality, there are only two reliable Constitutional justices...Alito and Thomas.
It took Divine Intervention and a POTUS and Senate with the willingness to save our nation and stand up to the Democrats & the media.
This is a premature declaration. Things looks good so far regarding Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch has been mostly good. But mostly good isn’t what we want. Remember Gorsuch joined Roberts and the four radical leftists to redefine “sex” in the federal anti-discrimination law to include sexual orientation and gender identity. That suggests Gorsuch will follow his mentor Anthony Kennedy’s path as a liberal activist on such matters.
And considering that Republican presidents are about 1/3 since Reagan in picking great justices, we should really wait for some actual cases to be decided before we count Barrett as a success.
It was hopefully a great victory in confining ACB, but it’s too early to pop open the champagne.
Time to be thinking about the next one. Breyer is age 82....has he said anything about retiring?
The vote was actually 53 in favor
Senator Collins, who said she would vote no, changed her mind and voted yes, making it unanimous for Republicans.
Exactly correct. What should be a solid 6-3 SCOUTS, is in fact a 5-4. Roberts must go!
Super spreader event = any gathering of any number of people regardless if someone gets the China Plague or not.
Focus grouped propaganda.
It would take and hour to play a montage of deep state media repeating “Super spreader”
John Roberts paraphrased:
Being forced to purchase a government service is just a tax and therefore constitutional.
What a deep state plant he turned out to be.
Love how Trump made him sit out the swearing in of ACB.
Roberts is thinking: "Yipee! I can fully "come out" now as who I really am! I no longer have to pretend to be the least bit conservative! I'm free to be me!"
Colins is a baby killer, I think she is the highest rated Republican by NARAL.
