I’ll be good, as always. It will be interesting to watch you guys whine when the first ruling doesn’t go your way. Sorry, I’ve been following the SC long before you discovered it existed.
Over due library book, he’ s finished.
Well you don’t sound good. You sound kindof, well NeverTrumper.
I know you’re sorry. You don’t need to tell me.
I won’t be whining. I’ll be blaming the justice who makes the bad call as I always do.
You’ll be trying to shaft Trump to prove what a poor choice he was. We’ll just laugh at you again, when the time comes.
Though Judge Gorsuch’s maternal side of the family is Irish Catholic, he is an Episcopalian. But there already are 5 Catholic Justices, so we can use a token Protestant. : )
But seriously, I think that this was an excellent choice by President Trump. Judge Gorsuch will be confirmed without much of a filibuster attempt, and SCOTUS will return to being Justice Kennedy’s personal plaything ... until either Ginsburg, Kennedy or Breyer leave an opening ....
If they rule from the Left, of course you’ll defend them. Who said you wouldn’t.
We will demand they remain faithful to the U.S. Constitution.
You betray yourself post after post...
Republicans had approved Garland before.
Theyll just go through the power drama and he will be easily approved.
They'll go through the filibuster and Gorsuch will probably be approved eventually. But it won't be easy.
A 4/4 court is good for neither side.
We've survived the past year.
And that’s a LOT of posts! Tens and tens of thousands of them.
What comes first? This confirmation or the tax cuts?
Yep, so there’s no mistaking what your ideology is.
Thanks.
Well, just to provide an Executive Summary to others who might be interested despite your confusion: supply-side conservative in the mold of Ronald Reagan. Come visit an econ thread now and then, you might learn something.
Perfect pick.
Thanks for the invitation.
I don’t agree with your views on that matter either.
For a dumb, liberal guy,Donald Trump, he sure seems to make a lot of smart, conservative decisions.
/sarc off
I didn’t think so. You voted for Gore by proxy, after all.
“Come visit an econ thread now and then, you might learn something.”
Well, we have learned that you know nothing about economics. I mean, your postings are on the level of a pizza delivery boy.
“For a dumb, liberal guy,Donald Trump, he sure seems to make a lot of smart, conservative decisions.”
Well, 1rudeboy says otherwise, and he says if we go to an ‘econ’ thread we’ll learn something. We should send Trump to get educated from the pimply-faced teenager.
i get it, but sometimes, in order to get into those ivy league colleges sometimes takes the well connected.
Oh, here we go—nothing screams “butthurt” like a drive-by personal attack.
