I knew he’d pick a woman, just to stick it to the Dims and show them for the hypocrites they are. They will make up excuses to attack either of the two picks Trump mentioned. The real reason they will be attacked is BECAUSE they are women. To the Dims it is ALWAYS “How dare the GOP nominate ANY woman or “minority”, such nominations are RESERVED for Dims.
Why? Because preventing female or “minority” nominations from the GOP from getting passed is necessary to maintain the myth that only Dims represent women or “minorities” “interests”.
Calling her a “Liberal” is like calling David Dukes a “conservative”.
I want to know if the nominee is pro Second Amendment. We are one vote away from losing our gun rights.
I'm with you.. Amy Barrett would be just fine.
I'm looking forward to the fact that if it is Barrett I want to see how she's treated and questioned by Kamala Harris who I believe will be on the Senate Judiciary committee.
That confrontation will speak volumes to the electorate about Harris's political personality.
I’m changing mine, too.
RE: Christopher Wray was easily confirmed too.
Yes, and look how that turned out... he’s a weasel.
BARRETT !!!!
My point exactly.
Agree with you, should have made it more obvious I was joking. I do wish she could be a temp for a month or two just to see the fun that would ensue. Cheers,
You were clear—and she would be fun. In a Conservative Judge Judy sort of way.
But some here haven’t realized her age and have adocated for her as the pick.
“according to several people familiar with the conversation”
and
“according to two people briefed on the discussion”
well,which is it? two or several “anonymous” sources?
“and could help solidify Florida for Trump. “
florida is solid for trump anyway, and it’s not a good reason to make a life-time appointment to SCOTUS ... what we need is a guaranteed, rock-solid, strict originalist conservative on SCOTUS who has a long and distinguished record of conservative rulings in the lower courts ...
“I only want a PROVEN conservative”
exactly!
we need a guaranteed, rock-solid, strict originalist conservative on SCOTUS who has a long and distinguished record of conservative rulings in the lower courts ...
“based on his recently announced list of SCOTUS candidates, I have to believe that Trump had advance notice that she was in her last days”
the same thought occurred to me ...
What do we know about Lagoa?
**************************************
We know her father in law is a judge that Clinton appointed, and her husband worked for Crist.
“Even better, the Biden/Kamala ticket will get even less traction in the weeks ahead.”
what will REALLY take the starch out of biden and the dems IS to make the appointment BEFORE Nov.3, because that makes the appointment an entirely moot issue ...
“But if a woman is nominated, 90% of the Democrat bag of tricks won’t work anymore and they will have internal strife.”
totally ... and as long as the female nominee is a KNOWN, rock-solid, originalist conservative with a well-known track record (e.g., Amy Barrett), then a female would be an excellent choice ...
In this specific case? Probably.
Do you want to win and quickly get a conservative (but “OMGWTFBBQ FEEEE-MAAAAAAAALE”) justice on the Supreme Court to replace RBG? Or do you want to whine, cry and throw your toys out of the pram and perhaps lose the election because with compromised Justice Roberts, we don’t actually have a majority on the Court?
I too believe the votes have already been counted. This will become the
cornerstone of McConnell’s legacy.
Well stated wise owl. ;o)
