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?
2016 is all about Borders.
No 2016 is about deciding if America will be made up of Americans or not.
Does anyone here actually know?
I thought it was about the WALL ?
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.
Very good article, but bad title.
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.
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.
Good article. Ken Blackwell appears to be resisting infection with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Has there ever NOT been a clarion call to the voting booth? If it’s not the ‘end times’ in one fashion or the other: SCOTUS, roll-back of XYZ, or...
Course, I’ve not seen anything BUT a continual shift to the Socialist Left in my 25yrs of voting age, so I’m not exactly sure where, let alone IF, those brakes will kick-in.
No it’s not “all about SCOTUS”.
SCOTUS always has the same importance as a vacancy can open on any given day.
Other issues rise and fall in importance, but SCOTUS is a constant.
This is one of the many reasons why I believe that all the ‘conservatives’ who are claiming that they won’t support Trump will eventually come around to vote for him. There is simply too much at stake.
There are two powers above Scotus.
God Himself.
We the People.
It is way past time to trim the wings of a morally twisted Scotus. Article V is right in front of our noses.
Didn’t John Roberts’ betrayal on Obamacare destroy the argument that we need a GOPe president for SCOTUS appointments.
If you don’t know by now that there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the Rats and the GOPe, you are either part of the GOPe scumbags or you’re just plain stupid.
