I think just as important, it is about who the President appoints as Fed Governors.

No on has asked the question if Yellen would be given another term, or would she be replaced. And what is the basis for his potential appointments to the Board of Gov. of the Federal Reserve?

Anyone appointed to the Fed is window dressing. They set their own rules to make themselves money.

Why do people act as though the Fed is in any way part of the US Gov’t? They are a non governmental institution owned by a group of banks.

“Why do people act as though the Fed is in any way part of the US Gov’t?”

Because the enabling legislation that created the Fed was passed by Congress, would be my guess.

No 2016 is about deciding if America will be made up of Americans or not.

Just wondering whether Scalia's heretofore-unpublished votes are binding under Court rules, or whether they become moot and are disregarded, unless he actually produced a written opinion or dissent. After all, until the opinion is published, he could have changed his vote.

Does anyone here actually know?

This is true, but an emphasis on SCOTUS does not help us. We need as much apathy as possible among the baby-killers and parasites on the loony left. SCOTUS, as an issue, might bring them to the polls even if they are indifferent to their treasonous nominee.

And if Trump does end up winning, I do hope he appoints Ted Cruz.

A logical corollary to Blackwell’s point is that the GOP must retain the Senate. But apparently, advocating that the GOP retain the Senate is contrary to the agendas of some around here....

In my mind this coming election is all about immigration, just as it will be for every upcoming election in the Developed World. Trump is the only candidate who expresses the view of the vast majority of American voters that immigration must be controlled and borders secured if we are to protect our homes and families. I don’t know anybody who doesn’t think personal security is a top priority. The attack on Pearl Harbor was the single, most important factor uniting a deeply divided American public to enter World War II. Unfortunately the passage of time has dulled the memories of this generation that a very similar event happened on September 11, 2001.

This type of thinking is what keeps the issue of our rogue Supreme Court from ever being addressed. Sooner or later, we must get our talking points ready and take the offensive on this issue, or that Court will continue to turn our constitution into the platform of the Democratic party.

You dont think that Presidential appointments to head the Fed are not crucial?

I understand they are an “Independent” bank. But the BOG are about as political as you can get.

Getting rid of the Keynsians on the Board would be a nice step.

This election is about much more. Specifically it is about breaking up the politicians and the cash cows that buy their votes. That is why only Trump can stop this damn mess in DC. Look at the VA and all the damn lies we have heard from Shinseki to present about cleaning the damn mess up. We have received nothing except more lies and false and misleading figures that appointment waiting times have been reduced. This is all BS. The damn IG of the VA has lied and gone after whistle blowers. Our entire government is like Clinton, Obama, Holder, Lerner (IRS) etc. These crooks and the faggot and lesbian loving PC MC military generals and admirals they appointed will continue leading our decent troops, marines, airmen, and sailors down the path to hell and destruction. Only Trump can change this.

I have been yelling this for the past two years.

Even if the Senate Republicans somehow find the minimal balls necessary to block Obama's far left-wing liberal replacement for Scalia, there are still three Justices left on the Court who will be over 80 years old next year. The next President will determine the direction of the Supreme Court for the next 30 years

The Constitution now says whatever the hell 5 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices want it to say. Either we will have a far left-wing oligarchy of Justices legislating from the bench for another generation or we will not. This election will decide.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
