Supreme Court Resignation rumored for summer...

[TheOldSchool]

Well so much for my idea. Let the wild partisan trainwreck continue!

 

[Ame®icano]

Want to know how Trump could instantly end partisanship (as he promised) in the government and have the liberal attack dogs completely called off, ending all the protests and restarting communication between all Americans across the aisle in one swoop? Nominate and swear in Justice Merrick Garland.

“Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won.” – President Obama
​

Your messiah has spoken...heed his words. You lost.

In his immortal parable of the bus...he spoketh sooth...'you may cometh along for the ride, but thou shalt sit in the back.'

So it is spoken, and so it has come to pass.

​

Yet again, you guys want Trump to be like Obama. So strange.

Nope, we want him to undo all that Barry did. Than we'll see what's next.

61 times they voted to repeal Obamacare, and now you all are completely fine with them passing a cosmetically altered ACA instead of repealing it. Lame.

I agree with you on that. They're bunch of pussies.

They' should've repeal it and send for signing minutes after inauguration.

 

[Missourian]

Well so much for my idea. Let the wild partisan trainwreck continue!

Conversely, you were all for partisanship when Obama and the Dems had control. The fight over Obamacare led DIRECTLY to the Republican majority in the Senate that denied Merrick Garland a hearing, using the Biden Rule...a rule Biden made up when he thought Bush might get a crack at another Supreme Court nomination.

Elections have consequences.

Dream on.

Oh I'm convinced Trump hates this country and everything it stands for, so he'll keep driving the stake in. But hey who knows? Maybe he'll surprise me and prove me wrong by doing this

He's not driving the stake through the country.

Yeah it's looking like he might be too incompetent to know how to pick it up.

No, silly. He's driving it through you people.

We've had enough anti second amendment assholes on the court already. Trump still has 20 names on his list and Garland ain't one of them.

Wouldn't work. The haters would just ramp up their demands to see his tax returns. It's never been about Garland or anything they say they are upset about. it's always been to get rid of Trump out of sheer hatred.

If it doesn't work, rescind the nomination then

Which would just give them more to rant about. That's how it works and why he should simply go about doing what he intended to do all along. Nothing will satisfy them, nothing will ever get them to admit he's doing an okay job, so why try to placate them? You might as well try to calm a hungry shark by dropping pieces of meat in the water. "Why won't he go away and leave us alone? We gave him what he wants."

Well at least you're open about having zero intention to try to change anything about the crippling partisanship in this country.

Is the irony of this post not evident to everyone ?

Mere days after Justice Neil Gorsuch was seated on the Supreme Court, restoring the panel to full strength, a top Senate Republican said the court could soon be down a member once again – in turn giving President Trump another big appointment.

“I would expect a resignation this summer,” Sen. Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told Iowa’s Muscatine Journal.

Grassley, R-Iowa, said there was a "rumored" retirement in the offing, though he wouldn't disclose which justice was considering stepping down.

Chuck Grassley expects Supreme Court resignation 'this summer'
​

I am expecting at least TWO Supreme Court resignations in the next two years...Kennedy (probably this summer) and Thomas (who has been and associate justice for 25 years). If RBG or Breyer (84 and 79 years old respectively) resigns as well...the Supreme Court will be 6-3 Conservative for generations.

Thank you Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer and the rest of the Democrats for teeing up that nuclear option.

​

Really? Has it really been 25 years since we heard about Thomas' joke about a pubic hair on a can of Coke? Senate hearings were so much more fun in those days.

Well so much for my idea. Let the wild partisan trainwreck continue!

Obama could have started the path toward bipartisanship had he nominated mainstream justices instead of Kagin and Sotomayor. Did you advocate he do that? It seems a mite, shall we say, partisan to call for bipartisanship now, when the majority party is Republican, if you didn't when it was democrat.

It wouldn't change a thing. Partisan haters such as yourself would still be a partisan hater and you would still attack him for everything he says or does.

One must remember that to a Lefty "rationality" and "bi-partisanship" entail complete capitulation to whatever it is they want.

Whatever the situation, it's covered by the Twelve Commandments in the Liberal Bible.
The liberal progressive pukes here use them in every thread. Don't ever make the mistake of thinking they love America.

Read these rules and see them in the liberal progressive pukes responses.


Alinsky’s 12 Rules:

1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.“ Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.

2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people.“ It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.

3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.“ Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.

4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.“ If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.

5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.“ There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.“ They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.

7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.“ Don’t become old news.

8. “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.“ Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.

9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.“ Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.

10. “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.“ Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.

11. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.“ Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.

12. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.“ Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

Justice Garland? LOL

Do you understand that by the time Trump is done there will be nothing left to remind that Barry existed in US politics.

Doing a terrible job so far. 100 days next week, and nothing to show for it.

Gorsuch, fewer wetbacks and the ceaseless whining prove otherwise.

Suck it up Buttercup.

 

[whitehall]

Grassley said "retirement". Why is it interpreted as "resignation"? More media spin? Somebody needs to check the pulse of Ruthie Ginsburg every day. She could be dead for a week and nobody would notice.

But amen brother all the same. Things are hopeful though the wheel grinds exceedingly small.

Ginsberg should as well. Last time I saw her on TV she looked like a corpse.
