My total support.
The transplanted Kentuckian who is rumored to be near the top of President Donald Trump’s list to succeed Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg would be the first Asian-American on the Supreme Court.
Amul Thapar (uh-MALL Thuh-PAR) grew up in Toledo, Ohio, with his maternal grandfather, who fought with Mahatma Ghandi for India’s independence and impressed on young Amul how Gandhi had defeated an empire without shedding a drop of blood.
University of Richmond law professor Carl Tobias, who studies federal judicial selections, said Friday that Thapar will be in the mix because Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has been a strong proponent and because he is conservative —McConnell recommended him for the district bench and the appellate court.
USA TODAY reported in 2018 Thapar has never written about abortion or other hot-button issues, which could make conservatives fearful.
But the appellate court judge has railed against “politicians in robes” who substitute their views for the law, and has written that the three branches of governments should “stay in their lanes.”
Writing earlier this year in the Michigan Law Review, USA TODAY said, Thapar denounced judges who “bend the law” to meet their own goals and ignore the text of statutes and the Constitution to achieve an “equitable outcome.”
That would be purrrfect.
This guy sounds great. I think Trump will be forced to go with a woman & probably the Cuban. Maybe Amal next time, which unfortunately leaves the strong Catholic out until the 3rd round if it come around. Her being white is her downfall in today’s America
But everything may change by time Amy gets her chance.
Discussing it here.
Nuclear Option
Laughing my head off, Trump just thanked Harry.

I’m finding this to be perfect Karma!!
The dims are always changing the rules and then somehow not having to pay the price.
Well, not this time!!!
Not a President that they can intimidate and bully, no pushing around with our Donald!
I think I am REALLY going to enjoy the next 45 days.
Now that’s a Turdball I can get behind!
It would be the TRUMP card if needed. If rats get out of control BAMB job is done.
I agree Graham is not to be trusted but he is running a very close election and I don’t think he wants to lose.
If it is perceived that he is screwing with getting the nomination confirmed it would not bode well for him.
OTOH a confirmation of a SC Justice may just be the extra juice his election needs.
Many good comments from graham. Check out his twitter site.

Why would Trump and McConnell not go forward?
Dereliction of duty not to.
