Let the American Bar Association nominate mixologists. They are a very unprofessional organization which produces judges who don’t understand that there are two sexes.
Eight years too late!
Well, with all of Trump’s legal knowledge, he should do just fine picking his own judges.
Trump is a very slow learner, he was warned about them in his first term.
You are obviously a much faster learner than Trump. When did you earn your first billion?
Then, there is this:
“Heritage Pulls Out All Stops for Amy Coney Barrett’s Confirmation”

Newsflash - being good at one thing doesn’t mean you’re also good at every other thing.
Too bad for him. The judges are there to uphold the Constitution and a co-equal branch. The same judges are the ones who struck down numerous bad laws and EOs during the Obama and Biden terms.
It is unfortunate that Congress refuses to do its job passing laws. Then Trump would not need to issue so many EOs.
Newsflash - nobody is perfect, and Trump is far better than anybody we have had in my lifetime, including Reagan as much as I respect him. Trump is a fighter. He’s not going to get everything right, but he loves the USA and the American people.
“ The same judges are the ones who struck down numerous bad laws and EOs during the Obama and Biden terms”
Nope and there is no comparison. Biden experienced nothing like this. The Presidency is under assault by the Judiciary.
If Trump was trying to make sure no conservative judges retire in the next four years, it seems to have worked. Reports are that several judges have said they are canceling plans to take senior status for fear of the quality of person he would appoint to replace them. Alito and Thomas are expressing the same concern. Thomas, in particular, is very close to Leonard Leo.
There’s nothing coequal about the branches of the federal government. That is a myth. There are checks and balances between the branches but they are not co-equal. For example, can the president remove a congressman? No. Can the congress remover president? Yes. can the Supreme Court remove a congressman ? no . Can the Congress remove a Supreme Court justice ? yes. And so on.
Yes, but please don’t pick another Coney Barrett.
Can I see your financial accounts dating back as far as you can provide.
Please provide pictures of the bookshelves in your home.
What news programs do you watch? Do you normally watch them all the way through?
What subscriptions does your household have?
Rate CNN on the left to right spectrum.
If Jane Fonda offered to shake hands, what would you do?
Have you watched The View all the way through at lease once.
Name at least two persons I should consider for the job other than yourself.
List some of your best professors in law school.
Name at least three federal judges that you admire.
Name some movies as they come to mind that you enjoyed.
Did you vote for me in 2016? 2020? 2024?
Specify the federal tax rates a person should pay by income if you had that choice.
I’d like to speak with your significant other.
An American who would adopt foreign children probably leans left.
Let Thomas and Alito suggest their possible replacements.
Quite.
You are absolutely right. The different branches are not co-equals. For many years I have bristled when I heard that word used to describe power of the branches. I have usually pointed out that the Congress has certain powers as set forth in Article 1; the executive branch has much different powers under Article 2; and last, the Judiciary has only the powers contained in Article 3. The powers are not the same, and there are no duplicative powers with other branches. So co-equal? Never intended or granted.
Saying the branches are co-equal is like saying the heart is co-equal with the lungs. They are not. They each have different, very important functions, but they are not co-equal.
