Anthony Kennedy just announced his retirement!

[TroglocratsRdumb]

That is Good News for our Constitution and our freedoms, but it's bad news for the left wingers who want a totalitarian government.

 

[Aba Incieni]

The Senate rule was changed back 2013 to include all nominations except Supreme Court Justices. That exception was scrapped by the GOP controlled Senate for Gorsuch last year. Some ya'll have such shitty memories.

You sow the wind, you reap the whirlwind.

Just breathe....the world is not ending.

Kennedy takes a dump on his own legacy, letting the dotard replace him with a sycophant

He's probably glad himself that Hillary is whining in Europe, instead of in the White House. Most people are.

Our Supreme Court will be noticeably conservative for at least a generation or two now.

The problem is, as a Conservative, I don't want the SCOTUS conservative or liberal. I want it to be a true Constructionist Court. The SCOTUS should be ideologically neutral.

But you know they are not!

 

[S.J.]

And the left loses again.

 

[bendog]

Ah, the beginning of the second dark ages.

There is absolutely nothing funny about that, Odium. Ravi is unfortunately right.

So its the second dark ages to have a SC that rules BASED ON THE CONSTITUTION? Wow. I guess coming from people who vote for Socialists and Communists you are right.

Time to reverse Roe Vs Wade!

Go. To. Hell.

It’s a bad law. Deal with it. Return the decision power to the states

Neither you nor my state has a right to interfere with what happens in my womb.

The baby has a right to life. Don't want a kid don't get pregnant! MANY ways to avoid pregnancies.

The next time you're the one who gets pregnant, let me know and we'll have a chat about it.

McConnell is the one who screwed the Constitution and you know it. You're just happy about it.

Roe can only be overturned in red states. I'm not sure it will be in any event, but the legit criticism of it is that the question was a state question under traditional federalism.

 

[OldLady]

That's absurd. He was the President, he had 11 months to go, and he did his Constitutional duty. McConnell then failed to do his. He should have been impeached.

It was Obama's job to nominate a conservative to replace a conservative. Maintain BALANCE on the court, is just so essential.

McConnell didn't do anything, there were not the votes available to do anything as far as Garland- had the Dems won the Senate and Presidency in November 2016, Garland would have probably been confirmed.

No, Obama had a job to nominate an SC justice, period. There is no President that has ever followed your fairy tale "rule." Obama nominated someone moderate; he was as fair as McConnell wasn't.

 

[Aba Incieni]

Meh. The pendulum will swing back eventually. Hopefully before it’s too late.

I predict Trump will have at least one more pick beyond Kennedy. Ginsberg and/or Breyer will go.

This is good for a generation.

Well , a white generation.
Maybe we can lynch again?

Dems love them some lynchin'.

Wonder how many KKK boys are Dems.
Old Dems are repubs.
Remember Lyndon?
There goes the south for 100 years?

They all were. Ask Bobby Byrd's fam.

 

[williepete]

Why? I should think people would relax and stay home.

I might be wrong but most of the people I know who voted against Hillary did so for the future of the Supreme Court and illegal immigration.

McConnell is the one who screwed the Constitution and you know it. You're just happy about it.

I saw how rudely the crowd of liberals treated the Senator's old lady this week, you should look at this and understand why he doesn't show libs any respect.


Elaine Chao turns the tables on protesters harassing her husband Mitch McConnell

 

[hadit]

I expect a full court press to delay any hearing on replacement until after the elections.

The butthurt runs deep with this one.

It should have been changed to eliminate the rule entirely.

 

[hadit]

Why do you sad losers care more about hurting liberals - who are Americans the people protected by the constitution and bill of rights - rather than getting and explaining good policy?

The court isn't supposed to set policy, it's only supposed to determine the constitutionally of laws.

Neither you nor my state has a right to interfere with what happens in my womb.

Neither I, nor any other man I know wants anything to do with your womb. We just don’t want you killing your children.

Don’t kill your children. And we promise to stay far far far away.

Oh and the issue should belong to the states regardless of our viewpoint. It would make it a far less divisive issue and likely strengthen democrats to boot

He’s probably struggling to control his bowels

 

[Wyatt earp]

Democrats can't win now...

Totally unbelievable


The liberals screwed up so bad.

Gorsuch's seat was a stolen seat. You shouldn't be so proud of yourselves. But of course, shame isn't part of the vocabulary if you support Trump.

No it wasnt, we played you fair and square

No, YOU didn't do shit. The Republicans play dirty politics and stole the seat from rightful nominee Garland. You know it, I know it. The Dems need to stop being pussies and start playing dirty too.

Ok let's see who Will replace Kennedy sean?

 

[WillowTree]

filibuster

Nope. Republicans passed the nuke option.

Nope!

Nope what?

Nope! The simple majority 51 vote rule stands for judicial appointments! Don’t you just love it? Isn’t what’s good for Zoe goose good for zen gander? Dew ewes object?

Republicans passed it for the Supreme court. You love it now, you’ll hate it one day.

Not for many years! Trump will pick youngsters! I will be dead! But payback is a bitch for Harry Reid and Chuckie Schumer!

 

[hadit]

And just think, it only takes 51 votes to confirm. Thanks Democrats!

GOP changed that rule.

They followed Harry Reid's precedent, thus putting them on the same level as the democrats.
