Kennedy needs to suck it up and keep it together for 6 more months

The timing has to be purposeful.  I'm thinking he already has a good idea who the replacement will be, and would rather McConnell handle the confirmation.

I guess you missed the 60s.

We are in uncharted waters.  All you need is for CA to have a statewide non-binding referendum on secession.  If it passed, a dozen other states would do the same.  Then vitriol would hit a crescendo and decisions would be made.  They'd have some unrest in rural areas, but not much after NHS systems were implemented.  And the South would also happily do its own thing.  Only new growth Southern states like Florida and, shockingly, Texas would prefer trying to keep the band together.  This isn't even the Civil War where the North wanted to keep the South around against their will.  Nobody would really fight because nobody would have to.

I think you mean the 70s right?  the violence of the 70s resulted in  Reagan/Bush living in the white house for 12 years. 

People just need to show up at the ballot box and get involved in government if they don't like the direction the country is headed.   This violence rhetoric is undermining the democratic candidates this fall.

They did in 2016, and the candidate with 3 million fewer votes than his opponent became president.   These are some of the consequences of a system that doesn't reflect the will of the people and a president who tells the majority who voted against him to fuck off on a daily basis.

In all fairness he has been getting attacked from all sides. I don’t blame him for pushing back with some assholishness. He has been on the receiving end of plenty lately.

Are you talking about the Johnny Sack that said 'if you are poor it's because you made a lot of bad decisions'? Because if you're talking about that Johnny Sack...well, he's a fucking idiot.

He has no fucking clue who the replacement will be, because Trump doesn't either. Trump won't know until he's seen which of the guys on the list given to him has the hottest wife.

It probably has something to do with that 3 month vacation the supreme court takes every year.

Reid, Pelosi, Obama (with pen and phone) and Hillary absolutely fucked the left.  

The left posters here can even admit they got screwed by idiots who went for short term personal political gain.

Compare offices held in fed and state offices over the last ten years.  Dems have been slaughtered.

Roberts is the swing vote now.

Honestly the way it should be. The chief justice should try to be as non-partisan as possible. They all should, but especially the chief justice. I wish judicial nominees required 80 votes. Only moderates that are agreeable to both parties should be on the court.

Trump wants whoever will give him the most good press with the base in the moment.  EVERYTHING is about optics with him.

If they are trying to put them in order Alito and Gorsuch should be switched.

How's Houston and Harris County looking? Dallas and Dallas County? San Antonio and Bexar County?

Yeah. That's what's coming for Texas. That's what's coming for the United States.

Wrong. It's in the constitution. Kennedy has to give his blessing to his replacement, because only Kennedy knows the password to his computer, where all of the laws are stored. If Kennedy doesn't like his replacement, well you can kiss that password goodbye.

One does not need a crystal ball to see what is about to happen on the right.  Hell, they're "retiring" at a record pace.

Keep up with the identity politics and freebies.  That’s what will win.  Keep it right on going.

I’m seeing socialists taking over the left.  That’s going to succeed.

The nominee is so obvious. We have a reality TV star in the White House. Clearly Judge Judy will be proposed at any minute now.

Bookies currently have Brett Kavanaugh and Thomas Hardiman as the most likely replacements.

Prove it.
McConnell has every incentive to get this confirmation through committee and onto the floor yesterday.  And the Democrats can't stop it.


Umm...no. GOP would love to motivate their base for the midterms by putting the “lives of babies” and “Adam and Eve not Steve” issues front and center.

Yup. Ultimately, Trump gets his pick regardless. The GOP want to milk it for all it's worth.

Hardiman and Pryor were the other "finalists"

If one is truly a conservative who is in favor of whatever it is Trump thinks a conservative is, then one would prioritize getting a SCOTUS nominee seated above all else.

They aren't going to gamble the seat.  McConnell has already made preparations for getting it through before the elections.

Yep. They will get this done on an accelerated timeline.  Not chancing it.

You see the 5-4 ruling yesterday on the California law and its injunction? 

WASHINGTON — In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court on Tuesday declared as probably unconstitutional a California law that required religiously affiliated pregnancy centers to inform clients about the availability of state-funded services for terminating a pregnancy.

The fact that 4 dumb fucks voted the other way is scary.
The left has gone off the reservation. There aren’t moderates on the left. It’s socialists, freebies, identity politics and victimhood.  


I don’t think that requirement should be applicable to those centers. Of course, I say this, assuming that there is zero state funding or assistance (besides usual tax exempt status).

Also, they should be regulated somewhat, so that they do not claim higher incidence of fatal breast cancer as a consequence of abortion, etc. That shit needs to stop.

Or this could be a ploy by McConnell to paint the Dems as obstructionists if it doesn't go well.

I agree wit him, but damn he needs to STFU and stop playing the role of general Trump hating pundit/activist.

He can do more damage focusing on his actual cases involving POTUS.

Only a Republican can gum up this confirmation. I don't trust any of them to actually vote against it.

They will all fall in line.  Just watch.

It's 50-49 right now because of McCain.  Your wildcards are pro-choice Murkowski and Collins.  Collins said (which means jack shit, but she did say it OTR) that Roe v. Wade is settled law and that's part of her vote, someone who respects that precedent.

The other wild cards are the numerous red state democrats up for re-election in November.

Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski are the most important people in the Senate right now.

Better hold on to them, wing nuts.

Can’t they lose one of them anyway, with Pence breaking the 49-49 tie?

I think you're wrong. It would be unprecedented (unless he nominates a complete nutjob)
