I actually agree with everything you said. I was being a bit sarcastic as I believe we haven’t had a single win yet. Not a lasting one. I’m of the opinion that with conservatism losing the republican primary, and the current climate on sites like this, former bastions of conservatism, that the country has turned to an unavoidable and irreversible decline. Trumps election merely delays the inevitable. We’re still heading toward the abyss.

Gorsuch, should he prove solid, would be the first true win. How many times have we been burned on these appointments though? Only time will tell on him.

What this country needs is a president and congress on the same page doing what’s right rather than what they feel can change things.

Gorsuch: It always seems a bit futile to speculate about how a Supreme Court nominee will behave down the line. Roberts is a good example. He was touted as the conservative savior and he has twice voted to protect the Health Care Act on things that were so obvious they were ridiculous.

So in his efforts to keep politics out of the court he has slammed it in by trying to meet half way. Believe me, the libs are not going to bend until they are broke and they don’t care who gets hurt.

We need to determine what the purpose of the supreme court is before we allow it to be prostituted out for causes that should have been determined by law at lower courts if they are doing their jobs applying laws, then the higher court should never see them. After all, they only actually hear about 9 cases a year.

If you want to get an interpretation as to what a law says, ask an attorney or judge in your town. That’s why you elected them. After that, if you want to change a law, talk to congress. In the meantime, it is a law, follow it, That’s how the system was designed. Or is that part of the design being ignored also? Looks that way because courts don’t dictate law. They have to follow them too.
