Trump to announce supreme court pick on 9 July
The Guardian ^ | 06-29-2018 | Staff

Posted on 06/29/2018 5:04:25 PM PDT by NRx

Donald Trump said on Friday he plans to announce his nominee for a forthcoming vacancy on the supreme court on 9 July – a lightning-quick move to replace the retiring swing vote Justice Anthony Kennedy, 81.

Speaking aboard Air Force One en route to his private golf club in New Jersey on Friday afternoon, the president announced that he has five finalists, including two women, out of the shortlist of 25 names that had been previously circulated.

Speaking to reporters on the plane from Washington DC, Trump said he may interview one or two contenders for the nomination this weekend in New Jersey.

“I’ve got it narrowed to about five,” he said.

Of Roe v Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that legalized abortion in the US, he said: “I’m not going to ask them that question.”

Yes, NRO is painful to read. They mask themselves as conservatives but they cant hide their subtle Never Trumper / fake libertarian nonsense..

Good choice...

Today’s Highlight in History:

On July 9, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was read aloud to Gen. George Washington’s troops in New York.

Reminds me of seeing a clip of Diane Feinstein on TV last night. She looked and sounded dreadful, like she was in mourning. Come to think of it, for her, it couldn’t have been any worse. (snicker!)

DON’T COUNT ON IT.

It would not surprise me to see them find a look alike and do a porn video just to smear the woman, else they may try going after her physically. Remember this:

1. They hate conservatives.
2. They hate female conservatives worse.
3. They hate minority conservatives worse.
4. They hate female minority conservatives even more.
5. And if you are conservative, and fall into “grouped” category as outlined by the opposition, the hatred level for you increases by a factor of 10 for each group you represent.

I’m thinking Thomas might stick around, this will be a historic court. On the other hand has anyone else thought Roberts might resign? If ALL the dirt comes out and Roberts acted from a threat against exposing his kids’ adoption, he would be forced to resign. This court would go down in history as the Trump Court.

The left is going to fight this tooth and nail. They want a Stalin type put in that position, not someone who might actually believe in the real Constitution, as written, not as a liberal judge determines.

Any older conservative would do the country a favor by retiring and allowing Trump to choose a younger person to serve thirty more years !

The left is already busy looking up dirt on the list. They will stop at nothing to destroy the next nominee. I hope he/she is ready for the mean, vicious attacks that are coming. A colonoscopy is nothing compared to the intrusive anal exam that is coming.
The left has no shame.

Judge Napolitano? Are you serious? For one thing, he was a Never Trumper during the election. He even wrote an article arguing that there was no real difference between Trump and Hillary. I also remember him praising Hillary to the hilt after one of her debates with Trump.

Beyond this, he’s far too old (almost 70). Plus, delving into his private life might prove controversial for some of Trump’s evangelical supporters. Although he has neither confirmed nor denied it, it is widely believed that the late James Sheil was his “life partner.”

Why didn't Obama at least put up a fight to confirm Garland? You know, throwing a hissy fit, shutting down the government? One theory is that Hillary was such a hideous candidate that he wanted to save a supreme court pick for her. Didn't work.
