“That internet ad by McCain was devastating, because the narrative shows JD as an unhinged kook.”
and Sarah supporting McCain doesn’t help either. When does country come before “decorum” and loyalty to a progressive? We are about to be “decorumed” into a socialist oligarchy cesspool.
LOL! Did McCain really call someone ELSE an unhinged kook? We have enough video of the unhinged McCain to last an entire election season. The bottom line is people are much, much smarter now and there’s so much on the line.
J.D.’s right, but he must be smoking some of them left handed cigarettes to think McKennedy is going to do anything but swoon over hitlery.
Damn I hope AZ shows juan the door!!
The Intrernet is capital I. It has the same rights as you and I. Remember.
Hillary was elected for the term of Jan 2007 - Jan 2013. Now I believe that the salary of Secretary of State was reduced so she could get the job, and that a position on SCOTUS would have to be similarly reduced.
Of course that would leave us with the difficult situation of having one associate justice at a lower pay grade than the others.
Much was made about the legislative calendar and the confirmation? calendar during the "nuclear" option discussion. Appointments can never be anything other than "Shall Person X be confirmed to the office of Y?"
But additional amendments can always be offered on bills, with arguments for and against. That is the purpose of the filibuster.
As I recall, Hatch's name was floated after the Bork rejection because as a Senator he would likely receive courtesy that another court nominee would not.
What I'm asking is, when legislation to reduce the pay of a federal judgeship is considered, is that voted on before the confirmation? I would think it would have to be. That vote could be filibustered; thus Senatorial courtesy (if it still exists) could be preserved but Hillary would still be denied the seat.
Whether that's a good strategy (others are more liberal than Hillary) is another story.
honestly, who cares what any of you think. It’s up to us here in AZ.
I disagree. The point is valid. McCain would vote for Hillary if nominated. Whether she is nominated or not, the fact that McCain would vote for her speaks to his serious drift away from Conservative principles.
The Chinese are in the process of owning us. It’s only fair they get a representative on the court.
He sure is.
He sure is.
JD is doing the right thing by going after McCain.
Contrary to what some have posted....JD has to be strong on attack on McCain. You do not win elections by being a nice guy...never works.
Being weak in campaigns....well, it got the USA Obama....
The reason "why" it matters is because McNasty does not confine his votes to just the State of Arizona. The rest of us bubbas have to live with his wacky voting record.
That's "why" it matters. Regards, pointsal
