Well either the idiots like Coons and Horses Ass and stolen valor take the bait or they don't and just let it go.
It's win win.
It would be nice to see a wise Latina as opposed to a wide Latina on the court !
Whoever it is I hope he does it fast. Like Monday. Or sooner. While the left is in shock and the media is all over RGBs life and funeral.
The Senate approved Lagoa for the 11th Circuit by an 80-15 vote. Bad sign.
“There has to be a conservative black female somewhere in this country”
you’ve posted that racist nonsense at least a dozen times now ...
You want to see trouble? Nominate anyone other then Amy Barrett and you’ll get a huge black lash from the right. Trump has teased us enough. Last time he said he was saving Barrett RBG seat, well it’s time, RBG seat is to be replaced.
The nominee needs to be a guaranteed pro second amendment judge. If we screw this up, our gun rights are gone. If we get this right, the second amendment is protected for generations.
Just how many wise Latinas does a court of 9 need?
I don’t like how she sailed though the Senate.
Your thinking is the same craven mistake the GOP makes time after time.
GOP minority and female candidates don’t win Dem support.
But it can make them look foolish real close to an election. And if it takes doing this to ensure another Trump term with at least two more SCOTUS picks, then it's worth doing.
“GOP minority and female candidates don’t win Dem support.”
Tell that to Congressman Mike Garcia, the first Republican to win back a Democrat held seat in California in decades,
If Trump wants this to go through quickly — and it’s clear that he does — his nominee must be a woman. I hope so as it would be “fun” watching the “Party of women” rip a woman apart in the televised confirmation hearings.
It's a pretty high probablity the people mentioned here as potential nominees will ultimately disappoint if they make it to the court. Again the best case is that they don't significantly add to our problems.
It would be a big mistake to nominate a women. The two women we've had have been an utter disaster. Picking a women at this point is clearly pandering and pandering is something we can't afford to even appear to be doing even if we are not. The chances of finding a true conservative judge is practically zero to begin with and the chances that judge would be a women even less. That being said if the President can get a women that will simply do less harm then that will have to do.
Lastly, our side needs to understand this idea of a conservative judge is a fantasy. For the most part, they simply don't exist. Yes there are very very rare examples that slip through the system every now and then but conservatives need to realize we will NEVER have more than one or two on the court at any one time, ever. So stop looking to SCOTUS to one day return our government to a constitutional replublic, it won't. The people are going to have to do this in the form of a series of Constitutional Amendments. The idea we will someday pick the winning 5 numbers in the Supreme Court lottery is wasting our time and effort. The justices are not the problem. The power we have allowed the court to usurp is the real problem that needs to be addressed.
Sorry for the rant.
Truer words were never spoken.
And I have no doubt the president is well aware of that.
Now that would be funny right there!
However, in reality leftists have no shame and they would attack a black women just the same. The media would go along with it and their base of useful idiots would swallow it hook line and sinker.
Not if they are more liberals by Supreme Court standards.
IMO they are both suspect on that count.
And GOP Hispanics are seen as “white Hispanics” anyway.
If Trump goes for either or some other sort of compromise candidates, IMO he felt forced to in order to get Mitch’s Senate behind him and/or his favorite libs, Ivanka and Jared, have struck again.
There are quite a few FReepers pasting instead of posting today.
They will...although...it makes it more politically precarious.
But...would these 2 turn squishy liberal down the road? Nominate a real hard-core conservative and then there’s no worries.
I was thinking the same thing. I hate identity politics also.
But we lose by taking the high road here is just way too much.
And once illegal immigration is really stopped for good, it only takes a few generations for hyphenated Americans to become much more American and that’s it.
My father was born in Italy and my first Grand nephew was named Cole :-)
they didn’t even play the tarantella at their wedding, my nephew and his wife.
As long as millions stop coming in, the ones here can assimilate more over time
