Trump adds 5 conservative judges to shortlist of potential SCOTUS nominees
Trump administration is preparing for the next Supreme Court nomination. We don’t know when that will be, but the prevailing wisdom is that Justice Kennedy will retire after this term ends in June. With the filibuster gone, there isn’t much Democrats can do to stop a nominee so long as the nominee has solid Republican support. So it’s important that someone of high caliber be nominated so that no Republicans succumb to the inevitable media pressure, and their own weak knees. That will be even more important if the nomination is replacing someone other than Kennedy. If Ruth Bader Ginsburg were to leave the Supreme Court, and Trump were to nominate a replacement, it would be liberals’ nightmare. Trump today took a big step towards preparing for the next Supreme Court fight, adding 5 conservative judges to the Supreme Court shortlist, Reuters reports: Read more here... https://legalinsurrection.com/2017/1...otus-nominees/ |

We should be pushing for liberal shriek worthy people who believe in reactionary liberal and moderate shriek worthy policies. I’ll say again: we should be pushing for Cody Wilson or James Yeager or joe “your dead kids don’t trump my rights” wurtzelbacher on the court. Screw playing nice.

Since as of now, there are no SCOTUS seats empty. The Donald should be filling the plethora of circuit bench seats that are gathering dust while the libs run rampant in lower courts. Like the 9th Circus.

Or it’s to make people feel Trump is doing more than he is.

You must not know how that works. You should read up on current events.

Ginsberg is 84. I think that's too old to be making these decisions. She was appointed by Bill Clinton 24 years ago. I know it's an appointment for life but they should cap them with mandatory retirement at 80. What is if she lives to be 95?

Regarding the current court make up and who the President may nominate, if Justice Kennedy resigns next June you can expect the Democrats to raise Scalia like objections pushing to hold off until the following January when the new Senate seats. Senator McCain should be away from the Senate by then, with perhaps a solid conservative having been appointed by the AZ Republican Governor. |

If Ginsberg was forced to retire at 80, that means Obama would have chosen her replacement....

B/C the other side will get to do it when THEY are in charge. Sooner or later, you wind up with DOZENS of SC justices.

Ms. Feinstein said she had asked Mr. Talley whether, if confirmed, he would commit to recusing himself in cases involving weapons. He refused. These are his qualifications.

Total loser conservative view that it’s better to lose with your principles than win dishonorably.

You do realize that Congress has to approve a lot of those, right? Otherwise they would've already happened.

And when you look at previous Justices, their abilities and how they got on the court - so many political hacks or hadn't even been graduated from law school. The court can handle a less than stellar performer now and again. Is that any worse than a Justice whose opinions are set in stone, impervious to influence or debate? It's unfortunate the court has become so important. That it has means there is failure in our political processes. |

More important than presidential nomination or full Senate confirmation is senatorial courtesy. Without it those lower court federal judgeship's don't get filled. It would be interesting to see in which states those positions are currently open.

SCOTUS is not about trying cases. It's about figuring out if something violates the Constitution - period. There is a lot of philosophy involved into what was intended in the first place.

Personally President Trump is the 1st President in my lifetime who has done exactly what he said he would do and I like the majority who elected him approve 100% of what he!s done and says he will do !
That said how can any critisise his nominees when the swamp promoted,worshipped,elevated this racist fool who has ruled against us on every important question regarding Liberty ! Quote of the Day “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion [as a judge] than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.” by ADMINISTRATOR on MAY 26, 2009 That was from Obama’s Supreme Court nominee Judge Sonia Sotomayor, in her Judge Mario G. Olmos Law and Cultural Diversity Lecture at the University of California Berkeley School of Law in 2001. Sorry but such racism should have no place in our color blind system ! One really needs to question exactly what rich cultural experiences this wise Latina is referring to ? Could it be demanding a foreign language by used in place of English? Could it be demanding people who violate immigration laws by welcomed and supported by money borrowed at interest ? Could it be demanding that America import an uneducated underclass that Mexico wants to rid itself of ? Inquiring minds must examine the concept of how a "wise latina" can really make better legal decisions than a white male! Just saying! Last edited by ja308; 12-09-2017 at 7:39 AM.. |
