[Flaming Conservative]

Rudy for SCOTUS.

---

As much as I like Rudy, SC Justices are usually a bit more discreet, and hold their cards closer to their chest, than Rudy.

[Flaming Conservative]

Or she could live to be 100, and stay on just for spite.

[Enlightened1]

?

Were you responding to another post?

[jjotto]

Repeat:

There will not now be, or ever, a retirement age appointee to the USSC.

[jjotto]

Pirro is several years past retirement age.

[fatima]

WooHooo I hope Ginsburg follows.

[Flaming Conservative]

Flake needs to be censured.

[Czech_Occidentalist]

He (kennedy) votes with the right about 3:1, including the big cases this week in all of them.

---

But he is very bad on abortion and marriage, and quite weak on religious freedom. “Thanks to him”, the decision in the baker’s case is weak and doesn’t protect religious freedom very much.

[rdl6989]

I agree, but I’m not getting my hopes up.

[rb22982]

The abortion decision has been around for way before him. I seriously doubt Roe is ever overturned. I also doubt the courts will revisit gay marriage at this point, either. Not sure I agree with you on him with religious freedom either. Point being, he generally votes on the right. I’d have much rather have had any of the 4 leftists leave.

——That is counterproductive defeatism.——

Hardly...it’s realism....

[TigersEye]

Zippety doo da zippety ay
my, oh my, what a wonderful day!

[Czech_Occidentalist]

His brother, Justice Thomas Lee of the Utah Supreme Court, would be even better.

[KC Burke]

My dark horse replacement candidate is Sydney Powell although I would like to see her running DOJ some day.

[Husker24]

With all the RINOS i dont see how we get anyone through.

[Enlightened1]

Remember when all those Never Trumpers were pouting and rooting for Hillary Clinton because Donald Trump “wasn’t presidential” or something?

Two Supreme Court picks...

[Drew68]

Doesn’t change the 5-4 outlook of the court. Just makes it more solid.

President Trump will place a conservative on the bench and Roberts will become the Court’s swing vote.

[Freee-dame]

We have to keep praying that we don’t get another Souter. Just think how different our country might be if we had a Bork instead of Souter. GHWB...total swamp creature.

[JamesP81]

If we can get RGB to retire, two conservative replacements on the court might enable us to beat some state AWB’s in court.

I’d especially like to see the injustice perpetrated by California and New York on its citizens removed.

[rb22982]

Yup!
