You care to point out a federal district court that’s not in a very liberal city? Would you prefer Austin? Atlanta? DC? New York? Boston? Philly? San Francisco? Chicago?

“I everybody aware that Neil Gorsuch is living in Boulder Colorado, aka, The Republic of Boulder? Hope this isn’t a red flag.”

Another David Souter (who fooled them by acting conservative until he was on the court) who was replaced by Sotomayor..???

Hope NOT!!!

Per Wiki:

At the time of Souter’s appointment, John Sununu assured President Bush and conservatives that Souter would be a “home run” for conservatism. In his testimony before the Senate, he was thought by conservatives to be a strict constructionist on constitutional matters; however, he portrayed himself as moderate who disliked radical change and who attached a high importance to precedent.

However, in the state attorney general’s office and as a state Supreme Court judge, he had never been tested on matters of federal law.

Initially, from 1990 to 1993, Souter tended to be a conservative-leaning justice. In Souter’s first year, Souter and Scalia voted alike close to 85 percent of the time; Souter voted with Kennedy and O’Connor about 97 percent of the time.[citation needed] The symbolic turning point came in two cases in 1992: Planned Parenthood v. Casey, in which the Court reaffirmed the essential holding in Roe v. Wade; and Lee v. Weisman, in which Souter voted against allowing prayer at a high school graduation ceremony.

In Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Anthony Kennedy considered overturning Roe and upholding all the restrictions at issue in Casey. Souter considered upholding all the restrictions but still was uneasy about overturning Roe. After consulting with O’Connor, however, the three (who came to be known as the “troika”) developed a joint opinion that upheld all the restrictions in the Casey case except for the mandatory notification of a husband while asserting the essential holding of Roe, that a right to an abortion is protected by the Constitution.

After the appointment of Clarence Thomas, Souter moved to the middle. By the late 1990s, Souter began to align himself more with Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg on rulings, although as of 1995, he sided on more occasions with the more liberal justice, John Paul Stevens, than either Breyer or Ginsburg.

Are you aware that owner of F.R. lives in, heaven forbid Kalifornia?!?!

I live in Illinois myself but don’t tell anyone else. Also I’m a retired 30 plus years U.A.W. member. Don’t let that little tid bit slip out either and for heavens sake quit being so concerned, you haven’t been here long enough to be that concerned.
