No more Establishment Republicans for offic like Rubio, Jeb and Kasich.
And the GOP.
If they lose this, they are indeed a dead party.
The Supreme Court, in my opinion, has not performed its proper role in a very long time.
I feel that the Court is supposed to block the execution of laws which violate the Constitution. Nothing more. Nothing less.
The started legislating from the bench a very long time ago. And now they just completely make #### up.
If the Republicans ‘ROLLOVER’ AGAIN, it will also mark the DEATH of the Republican party.
Trump for President. Only chance.
From what I have seen so far this morning, the United States of America died yesterday too. The funeral will be held in November.
Best tell that to the crowd last night who was all out for Bush and who behaved like little children.
My grey fear is the possibility of a lefty judge being put in and the new majority unilaterally ending the 2nd amendment on a pretext. The decision would be ignored. People would go to DC and do the unthinkable to the leftist justices with their Now “illegal” guns. That would do nobody any good. And be very detrimental to our side.
NO ONE PERSON SHOULD HOLD THIS MUCH POWER OVER 300,000,000 PEOPLE.
NO. ONE !!!
We must reduce the power of the Supreme Court.
One idea: Every state governor nominates a justice. It can be any one citizen (judge) from anywhere in the country. It would be approved by the state legislature. At the same time, a “back up†nominee would be approved so we would not have a long-term vacancy ever on the court.
They would serve 15 yrs and done.
Yeah, it would be political, but it is now.
“....vague, confused, indeterminate philosophy of Justice Anthony Kennedy, who apparently decides cases on the basis of whether he has a solid bowel movement that morning.”
(Such Truth!) That sentence needs to be emphasized.
Principled people like Scalia are necessary for ALL US court justices and those that don’t “think” like a Scalia, should NEVER be allowed to take the oath of office-—for they are lying or are too stupid or undereducated to be able to understand the simple philosophy of our Founding FATHERS.
The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land and for those who would warp it or “change” and “twist” the words——they, like Kagan and Ginsberg and the evil “Latina” belong in prison for treason.
“the Constitution ought to be interpreted according to its original meaning.”
It’s not as though the Constitution should be interpreted in the same manner as a popular song with ambiguously worded lyrics but that sure seems to be the approach of the left.
It occurs to me that maybe the “Supreme” Court has to go full tilt Left before Americans finally, fully wake up to the fact that the Court is supreme ONLY over the inferior courts, NOT over God, over nature, over the Constitution, or over We the People of the United States.
“You seem . . . to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy...The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal...”
— Thomas Jefferson, Letter to William Jarvis, Sept. 28, 1820
“I do not forget the position assumed by some that constitutional questions are to be decided by the Supreme Court, nor do I deny that such decisions must be binding in any case upon the parties to a suit as to the object of that suit, while they are also entitled to very high respect and consideration in all parallel cases by all other departments of the Government...At the same time, the candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the Government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made in ordinary litigation between parties in personal actions the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their Government into the hands of that eminent tribunal.”

The GOP needs to really stand firm on this. We've let the left bully us into picking losers like Souter and Roberts because they block hardline conservatives while we let Kagan and Sotomayor sail through.
Oh get a grip Breitbart.
No wonder we can’t move forward with Conservatism in America. All we get is “OH NO HERE COMES THE COMET”.
The Constitution isn’t going anywhere. What IS dying is Conservatism because we talk nothing about policy or the benefits of a Conservative government. All that happens is the childish screaming that we saw at that horrifying, embarrassing, debate last night.
I’ve been involved in politics (works on Nixon campaign among others) since I was a teenager. And we have had a real opportunity to espose how Conservatism could take our great Nation to even greater heights. But no. We are lost in conspiracy theories and Chicken Little rants.
I thought forced obama healthcare “tax” and forced gay marriage ...not to mention stuff like partial birth abortion..signaled the end.
Obama gave us Sotomeyer and what’s her face. Do you really think that Roberts is worse? I want to know how Scalia died.

We'll be just like venezuela. (from WSJ via ZeroHedge)
"Thanks to the Supreme Court decision, Maduro obozo doesn't need the assembly's Senate's permission to intervene further in business, to allocate funds for imports, and to introduce new capital controls. The opposition is furious and says it will speed up efforts to usurp Maduro obozo once and for all.
"The Supreme Court of Justice has spoken, its word is holy and must be respected by all parts of society and all institutions," Maduro obozo declared.
What I want to know is how the regime managed to kill him. I hope the autopsy is thorough!
