Let the Democrats show how much they hate people of color.

In Viuda de Mejia v. Sessions, in 2017, Thapar wrote for a 6th Circuit panel that upheld a Board of Immigration Appeals decision denying a Salvadoran woman’s asylum claim. Noting that the woman was required to establish that she was or would be persecuted for being a member of a particular social group, Thapar remarked that “[h]er proposed social groups have … expanded and contracted with each appeal as she searched for the right fit,” but that “novelty is not often rewarded on appeal.” And in United States v. Agyemano, in 2015, Thapar rejected a motion to dismiss a charge of resisting deportation in the case of a noncitizen who came to the United States from Ghana on a student visa in 2003 but never enrolled in classes. Edward Darko Agyemano had been convicted already on a similar charge, and the court delayed his sentencing until Agyemano’s administrative challenge to the removal order, based on the immigration authorities’ failure to notify him of his right to appeal it, could be resolved. During that delay, federal agents again tried to deport Agyemano, and he was again charged with resisting deportation. Agyemano argued that it violated due process to charge him for violating the removal order because the order had been suspended while his challenge was pending. Thapar parsed the language of the relevant immigration regulations and came to a contrary conclusion. Thapar acknowledged that “[i]t may seem harsh to force Agyemano to obey a removal order while his appeal is still pending. But—save for extreme cases implicating constitutional protections—it is not for the courts to moderate the choices that Congress has made.” Another 2015 immigration ruling, in Lopez Hernandez v. Prindle, involved an issue that the Supreme Court will resolve next term: whether a noncitizen convicted of a crime becomes exempt

Thapar's father, Raj Thapar, who owns a heating and air-conditioning supply business in Toledo, Ohio, says his son is so conservative that he “nearly wouldn’t speak to me after I voted for Barack Obama.”
Paul Salamanca, a right-leaning law professor at the University of Kentucky who plays poker with Thapar, described him as a reliable conservative who believes, as Scalia once wrote, “that the rule of law is the law of rules.”
Even at the poker table, where Salamanca says Thapar is a “phenomenal” player, he is a strict constructionist; when Salamanca won a hand and didn’t realize it, Thapar insisted he take the pot.
Another great nominee!
This is the guy I’d like to see nominated. Everybody else is about coalition politics. Yeah, I’d like to see a conservative female, if I thought they wouldn’t drift once on the USSCt bench. This guy has the stones to remain independent. Love the immigrant family small business background, sacrificing for education. Indians are the new Cubans (note to Marco Rubio: sit down and shut up). America has no caste system...if you vote for conservative Republicans.
He’s also my first choice.
The biggest problem with these court choices is that they “grow” or “evolve” in order to gain “a strange new respect”. They fall victim to social pressure, peer pressure and DC group think.
The best antidote is to choose people who have demonstrated that they have resisted liberal peer pressure and intimidation in the past.
I say Trump should choose Tharpur. He has shown he will stand up to the peer pressure to conform to liberalism that comes with being a “minority”.
One reason, I think, Gorsuch stands strong is because his mother was so badly abused by liberals. He learned of their ways early on, and wasn’t interested in having their “respect”
He sounds good to me, too. I don’t think a conservative woman would “drift,” I just don’t think a conservative woman has a snowball’s chance in Hades of getting approved. The left hates conservative women as much as it hates conservative blacks, or possibly even more, and I don’t think she’d have any chance of getting approved.
Thapar is Mitch’s choice, so I am told. While that is not normally a plus, I think it is here. It will help hold the Senate GOP together if McTurtle is counting the votes.
In addition, it would be a great ploy if the Democrats were seen as bullying the first Asian nominee on the Supreme Court. Obama can have his “Wise Latina”. Why not a “Much Wiser Asian?”
Let the Democrats show how much they hate people of color.
In that picture he looks a lot like Fred Gwynne in “My Cousin Vinny.”
if you think “Indians are the new Cubans,” you have been thoroughly brainwashed.
They went for Obama in the 70 percentile.
They are pursuing advanced degrees and coming out increasingly Socialist.
Kamala is half Indian.
Tulsi Gabbaard is too (the open borders, gun-confiscating Bernie supporter who uses her military photo-ops to push her political career).
The socialist lesbian in Seattle is also an Indian.
Talk to Indians. Watch what they do. They still believe in the caste system (which is so racist it not only says that if you are not of a blood-line Hindu caste not only are you inferior to them and bound to serve them that certain bloodlines (castes) within the Hindu bloodlines are also inferior and bound to serve (the Brahmans)).
They are not here to join us and defend America and send their children to fight in wars to defend the US Constitution. They are here to attend the best schools, so they can get the most impressive degrees, so that they can get the biggest, highest-paying jobs in positions of the most power and influence so that they can rule over us and advance their people and their ways (which have failed miserably).
They expect us to send our children to fight in wars to die to protect their advancement.
Seriously. Stop drinking the kool-aid.
To all Senators:
Have a cigar, belly up to the bar and vote for Thapar.
No, he’s a BUSHIE and he’s MC’CONNELL’S MAN.
Upon reading the article, he sounds like he should be qualified based on MERIT, and that should be the only criteria. Liberals seem to believe that plumbing, culture or skin color are merit, here is a clue. They are definitely NOT. MERIT is training, experience and good decisions, based on established facts. All leading to one to be able to predict with some reliability a future of continued solid good decisions based on solid facts.
This is what we need
I know this is a small detail to worry about. There are things about every possible nominee that cause some to worry. I just hope we get what we expect, because It will be very depressing if we end up with another justice that can't be trusted.
My grandparents were new deal Democrats. My parents were Republicans. I’m a registered Independent, well, because Paul Ryan is a fairy, McConnell is tied in with a wife who practices “guanxi” , McCain is a poof who rode getting shot down and imprisoned into a US Senate seat and Romney has a glass jaw as evidenced by his complete inability to recover from his “binders” blunder. He can’t throw a punch. He can’t take a punch. He’s worthless.
I like people who start out in shit positions in life and demand fair treatment. This guy would cut off his father for voting for Obama. I like that. You expect your mother to get stupid and go left once in awhile. Typical response to an emotional appeal in a political environment dominated by images, not reason. But your old man? Never. And this guy was ready to cut him off. I like that.
I think Trump is popular with a lot of Indian prime minister Modi’s supporters because they see him as an ally against Islam. I have no idea if that has any affect on how American Indians view Trump or the republican party, but I think that’s why some perceive that to be the case.
In my experience, off the boat Indians are socialists among their own kind, and extremely xenophobic, both bad traits for SCOTUS.
2nd gen kids, boys particularly, are American.
Yuuuuge difference.
Don’t fear Thapar’s background, he’s on our side.
