Conservatives have been betrayed again and again by the promise of "strict-constructionist" judges who will not legislate from the bench or overturn previous precedent, and it's resulted in decades of losses at the high court. Conservatives need outspoken, activist judges from the right to offset the activists of the left - not a handful of Alitos who actually walk the strict constructionist talk and will be outnumbered by leftist judges and turncoats like Roberts and Gorsuch.

And John Roberts slapped us by allowing governors to shut down church services while Target and Walmart get a pass.

And I was worried that Kavanaugh would be the one who would stray. Didn’t expect this of Gorsuch.

I stopped calling myself a conservative years ago. The movement’s high water mark was in the 60s and 70s (Buckley and Goldwater)and ended when Bush #41 threw the Reagan legacy out the window. What passes for conservative today is 99.9% mush.

He’s a queer lover. At least that’s what his former queer clerk said.Gorsuch went to his “wedding” and sent a fabulous letter of congratulations to his favorite clerk and his new “husband.” Roberts has a lesbian sister and told her he would always make her proud.

He shouldn’t get all the credit - he may have penned the court’s decision, but Roberts the anti-Constitutionalist voted for that position.

And here is the sad situation: Even for those who are for these “rights” (that violate anyone who’s faith says homosexuality, gender fraud, etc. are sinful- and may very well run directly counter to their business model), The MEANS to get to this is blatantly unconstitutional itself. NOWHERE in the Constitutional duties for the SCOTUS (or any other judicial level) is there permission to rewrite legislation. They can strike down what they rule as unconstitutional. They can uphold what they see as following the Constitution. They can even issue an opinion that defines (or redefines) certain terms. But in this case - they just presumed the intent of the authors of the Civil Rights Act.

Convention of the states; all laws shall apply equally to the government and the people - in the event of any conflict, the people shall be granted the greater rights.

Legislation from the bench shall result in the legislature forfeiting 1/12th of their salary and benefits for each occurrence, even if this results in the legislator owing the treasury. The legislator shall not be permitted to participate in any vote aside from an impeachment of a judicial officer until full payment is made.

As long as the republicans in the senate continue to allow themselves to be brow beaten by liberals and the media during the confirmation process, this will not change. Also, I would strongly agree that we have to vet the personal views and conduct of judges much more carefully to discern whether they will actually stand up for conservative positions when the heat is on. The final observation is that the court should sit somewhere other than DC, which is a complete liberal bubble. Even those who begin with conservative principles are overcome by the surrounding liberal context in which they are forced to exist in order to serve on the court.

I am available for appointment, but Trump hasn’t called so far. . .

So all of these so-called conservative judges that Trump and the Senate have been delivering to our nation's courts: are they really conservatives or just libertarian suck-ups to Megacorps?

Gorsuch didn't just make this decision because his sister is gay. He did it because globohomo corporations want to be able to hire and relocate their employees wherever they are needed. They don't want to have to worry that some "backwater" place like Idaho has a different view of LGBTQ.

The supremes flipped the universal salute to the Heavenly Father. I sure do hope I get to have a ring side seat when they are called to account. The ‘Creator’ called the activity an abomination ... even cleared out sodomy way back when, but, just as it is Written there is nothing new under the sun.

We have been lied to repeatedly for 50+ years. Notice, the left justices *never* go astray on these cultural issues. The people they put on the courts will rule as the cultural degenerates demand — and so, apparently, will the people “our” presidents put on the courts.

Judicial activism disguised as constitutional textualism. There goes the Supreme Court argument.

He also bought into the liberal lie that mentally ill people who think they’re the other sex have anything to do with homosexuals.

"Conservatives need outspoken, activist judges from the right to offset the activists of the left - not a handful of Alitos who actually walk the strict constructionist talk and will be outnumbered by leftist judges and turncoats like Roberts and Gorsuch. "

Conservatives need to realize there ARE NO CONSERVATIVE JUDGES!

Conservatives by there very nature are repulsed by the thought of having a permanent government job in which you sit in judgment of others and lord over the lives of others with your rulings. No conservative wants to wear some black robe and sit at a bench high over everyone else. It's simply not in a conservatives DNA.

Second the judicial system and government system itself is rigged specifically to filter out anyone but leftist big government ideologues.

There are two types of judges in the system that make up 99.99 percent of the field. There are leftist judges and there are fake conservative judges who early in their careers make more conservative rulings largely to advance in the system.

It is for these reasons so many apparent conservative judges get to the SCOTUS then suddenly start supporting leftist agendas. They NEVER were truly conservative to begin with, they have been faking it.

Yes there are very rare exceptions that slip through these wickets and fall outside the norm but they are very very rare indeed. So rare that we can rest assured we will never get five of them on the court at any one time, never.

If you want limited government conservatives need to wake up and realize the obvious and that is that government (ie the courts) are not going to deliver it, ever. The courts ARE government and there are very few limits on their power. It's the power that is the problem not the judges wielding it. Nine people in robes were never supposed to make the rules for 300 million, that folks is the issue.

In my mind yesterday was the end of the church as we know it. Maybe I’m overreacting but I don’t see any good coming out of this action. Gorsuch is a member of the episcopal church USA. They believe in ordaining practicing homosexuals and having them as priests and bishops. He could’ve left the church. We all said that when he was nominated and he didn’t and now he has acted upon his religion.

I’m at the point of wanting computers to decide law. Put in all the facts and wait for the decision. And I don’t mean lawyer “facts” I mean just THE FACTS.
