vulnerable GOP senators may be reluctant to support a controversial Trump pick.


Controversial to who? The liberals? The liberals who create scenarios and trumped up charges of sexual assault? The liberals who lead us to believe, that a decades long career in the law meant nothing, and that the only thing that mattered was what happened when two teenagers rolled around on a bed for about 30 seconds 36 years previously? Trumped up controversies will dissuade Republicans from supporting a judicial nominee????

This will be THE subject and THE campaign slogan for the Deeper/Demos. HE’S IMPEACHED! (Except they may not have the votes, they certainly don’t have the crime!)

This is what the impeachment inquisition is all about. If Trump is able to swing the Supreme Court over to 5 solid constitutionalists, it will fundamentally change the US. Unborn babies may be declared to be persons with rights, many gun control laws will be turned over, and many other decisions.

I hit “post” too soon. Need to add, even if the alleged rolling around on the bed at age 17 happened as described by the woman with two front doors, that was the only subject that mattered in the Kavanaugh confirmation, to the liberals.

I don’t think many Republicans will be persuaded by such criteria.

They had better grow some backbone pronto. We will not tolerate weaklings and Romneys (I guess I can use it as a noun). There are only so many publishers willing to take instant remainder memoirs of losers who beg to be on leftist TV panels and say "I hated Trump" and "the whole White House was in chaos because of him."

Even the low IQ CNN viewers get bored and say "what else can you show me?"

In a heated election season I say nominate Cruz.

I hate to say it because he is one of my favorite justices but seeing how he's a 71-year old black men (and black men aren't known for their longevity) I think it might be time for Justice Thomas to consider his retirement.

There's a good chance the person elected in 2020 will pick his replacement.

As much as liberals love RBG, many are still angry with her for not stepping down in 2014 when Obama and a Democrat Senate could've picked her replacement.

I don't want to see a repeat of this mistake.

If Ginsburg codes dead before November, Trump would be wise to defer nomination until after the poll. He likely has a single page in a old folder that will handle this contingency better than anything I got.

He could stand up to tough questioning.

Today I was in a CVS to pick up a prescription for my wife. While I was there, I heard a medical news report on pancreatic cancer. I learned the two-year survival rate is about 7 percent.

I suspect Joan Ruth Ginsburg’s tenure on the SCOTUS is rapidly coming to an end.

"Trump is likely to have been defending claims against abuse of power and obstruction of justice in an impeachment trial"

Bogus charges and a bogus trial, all set up for political purposes--nothing else! "Guilt by accusation" carries no weight.

If things happened as you describe, then the Supreme Court would be a major election issue, for both parties. It may be huge anyway, because the Justices are aging. Clarence Thomas as noted on another post, is 71. Sonya Sotomayor is 60+ but has had health problems. Breyer is pushing 80, I believe. And we know about Ginsburg. So potentially these three liberal justices could be replaced by the president elected in 2020.

It’s always *controversial* when the dems don’t like it.

Nah, that wouldn’t make the dems curl up in an fetal position and eat their hair. I say Jeanette Pirro.

If there were a USSC opening, I feel confidant the Senate will confirm quickly even in an election year. McConnell and the Senate know how important this is. Pres. Trump and the Senate have turned 3 Appellate Court Districts Constitutional. The 11th Appellate District is the recent third.

If the President gets nothing else done and is voted out, these appointees have changed the course of the next 10 years or more. Now on to the most over-turned and liberal Appeals District - the 9th. Hope there are some openings in the next year.

Having metastatic pancreatic cancer complicated by sepsis isn’t a “health scare”

It’s a terminal Illness.

For ambassador to Canada.

We need a solid American nationalist.
So, as much as I want to get Cruz out of Texas and replace him with someone who won’t lose the Senate seat that even Irish Bob the transvestite almost stole...No.

Just No.
