Rioting in New York, threats of court-packing, promises of arson at the thought of Trump replacing its demi-god with a justice who actually believes in the Constitution. The left is rabid.
Even character assassination (a la the Bret Kavanaugh inquisition) is no longer enough. When will the hostage-taking start?
The President has Article II power to nominate “judges of the Supreme Court.” Donald Trump’s power doesn’t extend to the next election, but to the next inauguration -- still four months away.
The composition of the United States Supreme Court was a major issue in the 2016 election. Voters balked at the idea of giving that supreme power to the Queen of Corruption, the Bonnie Parker of Illegal E-Mails. Trump was empowered to nominate justices for his entire term of office.
The media told us conservatives had a 5-4 majority prior to Ginsberg’s death. This was meant to soothe us into a false sense of complacency.
In reality, it’s now 4-4 at best. Chief Justice John Roberts is a turncoat who sides with the left (Breyer, Kagan and Sotomayor) on the really important stuff. That’s why a replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsburg has become the center of a storm that makes Hurricane Laura seem like a summer breeze.
At the time of the Kavanaugh circus, I said it was a dress rehearsal for choosing Ginsburg’s replacement. World War III just broke out.
For decades, the judiciary has been the left’s House of Lords. It can lose the presidency. It can lose Congress. But as long as it has the courts – the Supreme Court in particular – democracy is in chains.

Basically too many individuals serving in a judicial capacity that either don’t understand the law or refuse to abide by it. Leftist activists, of course, think it’s A-OK to legislate from the bench. That alone should be grounds for immediate removal.
Of course, it also depends upon what they’re attempting to act on.
As I sometimes point out: so-called “progressives” never lament the Law that had to be unsettled first so their “settled law” might become how our government operates and must always so or we are becoming fascist or some such.
One thing is plain. It’s well past time to unsettle their “settled” laws. Start with Roe, Obergefell and all this “separation” nonsense.
Two things.
First I maintain that because our government was so limited by the Constitution before the rise of the modern Court they simply were incapable of doing damage compared to what they might have done. It’s not that they were competent but functionally incompetent at being destructively incompetent. Now with Arbitrary government they are mighty in their in incompetence!
Secondly, there ARE enumerated powers.
Of course those serve no function since the way the progressives read A1:S8:C1 all possible enumerations of power whatsoever may be inferred from that one justifying clause given to explain the why for a power to levy taxes.
To be a modern jurists means thinking the majority of the Constitution is a superfluity.
Not oddly at all that includes the situational exceptions to the doctrine of delegated powers spelled out at length, as pertaining to the Territories or what became D.C.
As Marshall might have said (based on Marbury): the enumeration of such exception demonstrates that it is the only exception whereby more general legislative power can be lawfully claimed.
Communism, socialism, world federalism ... you ever notice you only get to vote “yes” and once you say “yes” — or it has been said for you and you never got a vote — saying no isn’t a thing?
The Brits never got a vote on the EU. If the EU had an army of its own their vote to leave would be as meaningless as a commie’s personal integrity.
Indeed, one EUweenie said that letting people decide on national sovereignty is against everything the EU stands for.
Why I would advice the Poles ets to get out before the EU has an army.
Etc ... not “ets”
Some idiot recently said that the Constitution is “over 100 years old”, so therefore not relevant to anything today. They think it’s either dead (as in dead dead), living (as in, we can make it whatever we say it is), or the daily comics section (something to line the birdcage with).
Remarkable how the legal profession has done such incalculable damage to our great nation. Perhaps those serving on the courts should not even be from that profession. Just give them a book of flowcharts in order to ascertain a right or wrong decision. Couldn’t be worse than what we’ve had in the last century.
I especially love how when the people vote on issues (such as the California Proposition 8), they have their black-robed thugs on speed dial to say, “Oh, no. You can’t vote against that. We will impose on you what you oppose.” I mean, that level of tyranny should be a sedition-level offense worthy of public execution.
Humorous aside ... I wrote a number of Transformers fan fictions. In one of these called The Hall of Dead Gods I reveal my take on what makes the Decepticons different. Something about being able to remember.
As part of that many are in fact trial lawyers with the galactic bar. Starscream included.
When Quintus Ray responds to Starscream’s suggestion that they hang out a shingle saying they could do great harm to jurisprudence Starscream says that’s what would make it fun.
These can be linked to from the links section of my profile of Free Republic.
Will it make me look gay if I admit I preferred “Jem” to the “Transformers” ? :-P
No.
Aside: Wilma Flintstone was seriously hot.
