Catholic ping!

[Gen.Blather]

The Senate seems more than willing to confirm the most blatantly unqualified and/or racist and/or anti-American candidates. It apparently doesn’t matter what the candidate believes or how damaging those beliefs are to what most of us view as the traditional American ideals.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Scalia and Kennedy both turn 80 next year. The next president will replace at least one of them, probably both.

If Hillary is our next president, there will be a far left wing majority on the Supreme Court legislating from the bench for the next 30 years.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Is it possible to be more evil than Obama? Yes.

[Balding_Eagle]

This is an illustration of the difference between intelligence and wisdom.

In any case, Republicans should resist the urge to engage in demagoguery on this question. The fact is, if Mrs. Clinton thinks the Citizens United ruling is egregiously wrong, then she has every right, and even a duty, as president to nominate justices who would correct it............. On this other hand, this also means that there is nothing wrong with a Republican president applying a litmus test and nominating only justices who would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade.

[Steelfish]

She and her husband made sure they used a pro-abortion litmus test in the appointments of Justices Breyer and Ginsburg.

[ZOOKER]

There's a glaring flaw -

Who believes that a Dem candidate will actually fulfill a campaign promise?

Say this hypothetical SC candidate admits to Congress that no, he/she wasn't asked how she would rule on Citizens United.

Ahah, gotcha! say the Repubs.

Yawn, says the sheeple.

[Amendment10]

What Clinton and Sanders wrongly ignore about the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling is this. The Founding States had made the Constitution’s Clause 8 of Section 8 of Article I to give citizens the right to become wealthy from a temporary monopoly on their intellectual property, Clause 8 saying nothing about innovators and authors having to give up their 1st Amendment-protected free speech as they accumulate wealth.

So if Clinton and Sanders really want to stop conservative-owned corporations from supporting RINO candidates for office then this is what they must do. Instead of working outside the framework of the Constitution by bullying the Supreme Court to either limit or put a complete stop to corporate campaign contributions, Clinton and Sanders must do as follows.

They must work with state and federal lawmakers to propose to the states whatever kind of amendment to the Constitution that it takes to limit 1st Amendment protections and put a stop to such campaign contributions. And if the states choose to approve the amendment then corrupt Congress will have the constitutional authority that it requires to make laws to restrict such contributions, and Clinton and Sanders will be heroes.

[TigersEye]

If Republican critics of Mrs. Clinton wanted to be demagogues about it, they could seize on this remark and accuse her of trying to politicize the Supreme Court and destroy its independence.

I don't think the author understands what demagoguing is.

Thanks for the advice, lefty, but criticism in and of itself is not demagoguery.

[VerySadAmerican]

The SC is no longer independent and hasn’t been for years.

[Verginius Rufus]

The Democrats have been treating SC nominations and other important judicial nominations as political appointments for decades.

All Hillary would have to do would be to appoint a black female and enough Republicans will be afraid to vote no that the nominee will be confirmed.

Newspaper shills for liberal elites. ABC, NBC and CNN have liars posing as journalists...

Every two bit democrat liar gets knee pad coverage for free from the ‘press’. Conservatives are suppose to pretend it’s not happening - that the liars who run ‘the news’ aren’t biased liberal elite jerks...

But we know they are....

George Stephanopoulos doesn’t pretend to be a journalist for OUR benefit. No, he’s a Clinton boy.... Candy Crowley doesn’t step into a Presidential debate to defend a conservative. No, that’s never gonna happen. That kind of bias and favoritism is reserved for white liberal elite jerks. Only.

Oh - and eff ABC ‘news’...
