Who the heck is leaking these phone conversations? turtle?
Sotomayor had 17 years worth of “stuff”...what was looked at ? nothing-> other than she was presented ad nauseum as a “wise latina”.
What troubles me is Maggie Haberman is writing this as if she was sitting in on these discussions.
If true what the heck kind of huge leak hole is going on here ?
Hardiman is unabashedly pro-2A... sometimes even the RINO Turtle gets one right.
Trump should nominate a bus driver or sanitation worker from NYC that is a high school dropout but retired at 50 with a huge pension and is full of all kinds of common sense.
F#^K the Supreme Court.
Maduro made short work of the idiots on the SC in Venezuela, time to put these degenerates in their proper place in the US going forward.
Other than Thomas, is there anybody else left that should get advance notice of the MOAB?
I trust Trump more.
Trump should nominate ME. I have no judicial history, outside of a DUI case in the mid 1990s, and I plead no contest due to the inability to assemble an adequate defense.
I’m not a constitutional scholar, but I can learn pretty fast.
I know it’s easy to beat up on McConnell, but in this case I suspect he’s heard from certain Pub senators who have problems with the others, and he’s recommending the two who would have the easiest time passing. He did good killing the Merrick nomination and getting Gorsuch through, so I’m inclined to trust him on this issue.
Also those two have the best pro-2A records, though I think any of Trumps picks will be fine.
He's giving me visions of Souter plus Ann hates him over immigration!
Kethledge wrote a judgy man-splaining sort of a dissent on a rape case. If most women get wind of it I predict there will be pandemonium during confirmation that Trump does not want to deal with because it will weaken his position while giving the Never-Trumpers a victory. Between the weird open borders decision for a guy who had overstayed his visa for years and could quite easily have remedied his problem by simply getting his paperwork in order, and the weird “if she said yes once she has no right to say no later” reasoning, Mitch is very much mistaken if he believes that will be an easy sell.
Potomac fever sure is something to behold, and no, all women everywhere will not be deliriously happy if Barrett is nominated.
I hope Trump does not feel bound by any of these machinations. There are far more people who like POTUS than like Congress, the Senate, or Sen. McConnell.
let me guess ... anonymous sources, right?
in other words, rumors being presented as “news”, otherwise known as fake news ...
I also note, per the article, these two, in Mitch’s opinion, probably have the fewest obstacles to getting appointed.
I hope the most constitutional and just candidate is appointed.
If you want believe the NY Times go ahead....
Yeah, I remember a certain “nudging” by John Sununu to GWH Bush that David Souter was a “can’t miss” conservative. Bush heeded that bad advice, and the rest is history.
Trump should ask Sununu to list them in preference, & take least favorite of Sununu.
Lazy Mitch just want the Prez to make his job easier. He is no fighter.
Get back in your box Mitch the Bitch!
How dare you try and lecture our outstanding President, a man of genius and courage, who has saved our country!?
The choice for SCOTUS should be purely the purview of President Trump, a man who has not failed us in any way over these wonderful past 3 years !
“Kethledge also reversed a deportation order of a CRIMINAL ALIEN who had lied about a drug conviction and been convicted of grand theft auto, which Kethledge argued was not an aggravated felony. Van Don Nguyen v. Holder, 571 F.3d 524”
