If you’ve spent any time around the Federalist Society — the hugely influential conservative legal society that plays an outsized role in choosing President Trump’s judicial nominees — then you’ve probably noticed their obsession with a singular issue

Yes! Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!
We still have John Roberts.........
If RBG croaks Trump should pick a conservative woman for SCOTUS nominee. Let’s see the left pull this sex assault BS on a woman. Use some haggard guy who talks like he’s high on heroin: “And then she laid on top of me boo hoo hoo” “Men are to be believed!”
I’d prefer a man. All the women skew Leftist over time. Example Sandra O’Conner.
We are not free yet
Still have state and local which can be more commie then the feds any day of the week.
This may be President Trump’s greatest gift to America—packing the courts with judges who understand the difference between their job description and Congress’.
He flipped the 9th, for cryin out loud. Maybe they will lose their “most over turned court in America” title (>80%).
What I don’t get is how Turtle is pushing the President’s appointees through. I know he’s using some kind of lethal force, but, what? Hate on Turtle all you want, but I do acknowledge his craftiness and cunning when he’s working for the right team.
I would pick Sandra Day O’Conner over RBG any day of the week
I have zero problems with President Trump selecting a woman, whomever he believes who is qualified and capable of doing the job is fine with me.
The Left is quite comfortable attacking a conservative woman. I’d go so far as to say they’re salivating at the chance.
“I would pick Sandra Day O’Conner over RBG any day of the week...I have zero problems with President Trump selecting a woman, whomever he believes who is qualified and capable of doing the job is fine with me.”
Unfortunately the history is there for all to see, regarding Sandra D. She started center/right and ended center/left. In Texas, we had to deal with Kay Baily Huchison who started as conservative and also ended up center/left. I don’t know what does it to non-white males, but something does (maybe tribalism just gnaws at them), only Justice Thomas has been able to hold-fast from our side.
It’s impossible to exaggerate the importance of this issue. Countless federal laws, from the Clean Air Act to the Affordable Care Act, lay out a broad federal policy and delegate to an agency the power to implement the details of that policy. Under Kavanaugh’s approach, many of these laws are unconstitutional, as are numerous existing regulations governing polluters, health providers, and employers.
In order to get the courts back on track and all government agencies, we need to expose and eviscerate two pernicious and destructive ideas infecting and driving government tyranny; "SETTLED LAW and PRECEDENT".
Liberals 'SET PRECEDENT' in their rulings without the law behind then. Once the 'precedent' is established liberals don't argue law they argue 'precedent'.
Together, 'SETTLED LAW and PRECEDENT' are used to undermine and circumvent written law.
Whenever a liberal talks about 'SETTLED LAW and PRECEDENT' you know they're not citing law. They're citing a liberal narrative.
He won’t talk about the elephant in the living room regarding this concern.
What REALLY scares them is their plan, now in action, to classify Carbon Dioxide as a ‘pollutant’, when that was NEVER INTENDED by the Clean Air Act. If that gets thrown out, then any future president is pretty much handcuffed in turning this country into a shithole nation...and that scares them, big time.
As Brown v Board of Education tossed out decades of settled law.
"Under Kavanaugh’s approach, many of these laws are unconstitutional, as are numerous existing regulations governing polluters, health providers, and employers. A revolution against the regulatory state looms on the horizon, and the biggest losers are likely to be Democrats who hope to regain the White House in 2020."
The Democrats made a serious tactical mistake when they revealed their eagerness to overthrow the government of the USA. Attacking Kavanaugh, Trump, et al. on spurious charges was not smart.
He should let it "leak" that he is considering Sarah Palin for SCOTUS.
That would be fun to count the exploding heads.
“Whenever a liberal talks about ‘SETTLED LAW and PRECEDENT’ you know they’re not citing law. They’re citing a liberal narrative.”
I caught that too with ‘Settled Law’. I suspect that it’s poll tested to show that anyone disrupting ‘Settled Law’ is an Extremist.
So, we might as well get used to hearing that term a lot, particularly if RGB gets replaced next year.
Justice Scalia was no slouch and neither is Alito or Gorsuch
Perhaps a sane Supreme Court will serve as a bulwark against the election fraud that will certainly be rampant in November 2020.
Every party needs a pooper...
I agree...I was referring to people who are not white males and may start off as conservative...they seem to drift left a lot more than white males starting off the same way (Thomas being the exception, thank God).
In any case, what’s the benefit for our side if we do elevate non-white males? The Left simply DESPISES them, to the person (look at Thomas an Ben Carson), and it doesn’t help our side get votes anyway. [although I’d put Thomas at the same level as Scalia as to being the best Justices to ever sit in that court]
Please remember....that the Precedent before the Court decided abortion was some kind of right....was that abortion was murder. And murder was a crime.
Keep praying.
We’re beginning to see some of the fruit of it.
