LOL...so it’s 1 square NYC block “big” ? ;^)
Again, the discussion about whether he would or would not be a good SCJ isn’t really the issue... the reality is Trump is not going to nominate him. Its wishful thinking by anyone who thinks he will.
There are plenty of qualified conservative Judges that Trump can nominate without setting up the kind of fight that Cruz will create, and Trump is not going to waste political capital to put Cruz on the court if he can get one that is an easier fight but just if not more so conservative.
I know it would drive the libs crazy if he were on the SC... and Can’t say I wouldn’t enjoy them melting down over it.. but reality is Cruz alienated much of the Republicans in the Senate before the election, he won’t get confirmed without Trump having to basically beat or bribe the republicans to confirm him.. and that’s wasted effort.
No it doesn’t...Trump gets to pic the nominee, its really that simple, and Left knows they probably only have one big fight, and even then they really can’t win. so do they put up a big fight for a conservative replacing a conservative now.. or do they hope they get control of the senate in 18, and when Trump tries for his next nomination after a liberal or moderate justice retires or dies, go big then?
Fight against this one will be nothing more than political theater for the base... they know they can’t stop the appointment and it doesn’t swing the court from where it has been for a good while.
When a LIberal or Moderate is being replaced by a conservative, that’s when they will go nuts.
W T F are you talking about? Of course Trump pics the SCJ nominee but, the roster, when Gorsuch is confirmed puts us somewhat ahead.
As for 18 it is a mathematical given we are going to win that fight.
23 Dems, 2 indies and 8 Republican seats are up in 2018.
The math is improbable, as in: not even possible for Dems to make a gain.
At least 10 of those seats a very much in jeopardy.
They are going to lose bigly and then the census favors the Republicans in 2020.
Trump for 8 years and with a Republican majority.
If they force the nuclear option just once, that becomes the standard for the next 8 years.
We will get 4 more bites of the apple on SCOTUS, ensuring wins on almost any issue for the next 16 years of elections and 100 years in the courts.
Moses can not lead them of out of the desert until 2032, if we play our cards right and then we will have had two more noms for SCJ and it’s Game Over for 150 years.
As for them going nuts when RBG leaves, life is like a box of chocolates at that point.
They can filibuster and we’ll get tired of it in exactly three weeks, go nuclear and boom! Another SCJ we agree with.
So let it be written, So let it be done.
I see the splash page, what is it you want me focus on?
Explain it me like I’m six years old....
Oh, well if he the issue he is not going to be nominated then that is a different issue and I got no problem with that assesment.
Not sure I agree but, I can’t read tarot cards.
I’m not wishing for Ted to be SCJ at all but, if his time comes, I will support it.
I am interested in other issues at this point.
As for Trump having to bribe a senator or two, I believe Collins and Murkowsky will no longer be players by they time we get to the 3rd or 4th bite of the apple.
And I cannot stand them witches...
Lemme see.
Do I get to pick the square block?
If so, I am down with something around W. 47th, in the diamond district. One of the only pizza place I like in America is there, there are some O K restaurants there and a couple friends live right there.
Or, I could go with Union Square. Amazing restaurants, with the best wines and Scotch’s.
I would have picked the Trump International but, having stayed there several times and eaten at Jean Georges as well, there aren’t that many other interesting things around there.
So, if you are going banish me, please take my former preferences as suggestions.
Did a word search for Cruz in the article and couldn’t find it.
Is there something else that would bolster your argument?
Not disagreeing with but, without his words I have nothing....
There are restaurants on 47th-48th Street and 6th Ave.? Perhaps there are, but if so, they're just hole-in-walls and I only remember a pizza place there. *shrugs*
So now we're back to the fact that you live in an IMAGINARY world, where you supposedly own an island, but don't, and are a hermit. LOL...that figures. ;^)
Alright. How about 91st and Lexington?
At least then I can have the best breakfast of bagels, egg whites and coffee at Eli’s Bread Factory, then go next door and play with the dogs at “Run Spot Run”?
BTW, if I owned an island, I would have traded some pretty beads for it....
You don't own an island, you can't have any square NYC block, since you can't afford to buy it...or even 1/3 of a block, and you need to get back on your meds; dear boy.
Look, lovey, stop using the dirty bong water, to wash down your handsful of pills with; it's not doing you any good at all.
Inane, banal, puerile, and boring.
Shit! I have taken all your insults with a good dose of self deprecation, WTF else do you want?
BTW, Beech. I’m going to smoke a fag, whilst you consider your program of Ferme la bouche or Callate la boca program is.
And no. I ain’t no swiggy from an island west of France.
just fking with you....
You decided to engage me, the way you did; I replied rationally.
Wouldn't it have been best to let it all quite down and disappear? That could have easily been done.
