A Confirmation Battle That Means Something

[Flanders]

Forget Scalia’s successor who will certainly be another advocate for more government.

Forget the Russian Ambassador. I’d give a few bucks to see the faces of those UN-lovers in the State Department should President Cruz nominate Phil Robertson:

"Just for a thought experiment, imagine for a second, Phil Robertson as Ambassador to the United Nations," Cruz joked. "How much would you pay to see the Russian Ambassador's face when Phil says: 'What is wrong with you people?'"

Obama: Republicans Risk Diminishing Credibility of Supreme Court​

Liberal activists destroyed the Supreme Court’s credibility long before his two appointees, Sotomayor and Kagan, turned the High Court into a joke.

The biggest joke of all is that a failed president who never tells the truth about anything talks like his prediction means something.

In addition to being a failed president he is a failed salesman who could not sell water to a Bedouin. He could not sell the ACA before he signed it, and he cannot sell The ACA after his party rammed it down the public’s throat.

In short: A president’s primary domestic duty is to sell his party’s agenda. A president’s domestic authority is limited to nominating people to fill positions that require Senate conformation, and vetoing legislation his party objects to.

The lying sack of shit’s foreign policy, where he had some real authority, was a bigger failure than his domestic disasters.

Piling failures on top of failures does not slow him down one bit. Now, he will try to convince the public that Senate Republicans are meanspirited obstructionists because they will not let him replace Scalia with another political hack like Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayer.

Does anybody in the Senate wonder why the Chicago sewer rat cannot find somebody for ICE with a history of advocating immigration control?

Average Americans should form their opinions on a different level than the crap the media puts out. I’ve long-known that it is politics and nothing else. That’s why qualifications mean next to nothing to me. Over-educated bums are always down by the head with qualifications. On top of everything else the super salesman, who never did anything except lie, is trying to sell the country another Chicago sewer rat:

In a Rose Garden announcement, Obama announced Garland, 63, a Harvard law graduate who, like Obama, calls Chicago his hometown, as his pick.​

Blowtorch of opposition ignites over Garland nomination​

If a fellow sewer rat is not bad enough, King Rat nominated the last thing the country needs: Another Harvard graduate on the Supreme Court:

I would rather be governed by the first two thousand people in the Boston telephone directory than by the two thousand people on the faculty of Harvard University. William F. Buckley, Jr. (1925 - 2008)​

With the late Mr. Buckley’s preference in mind I looked up the 12 eligible bureaucrats in the line of succession. None served on Harvard’s faculty, but a whopping 41 percent attended Harvard at some point:​

XXXXX​

Barack Taqiyya attended Harvard; so I decided to see how many of the Nifty Nine also went to Harvard. Lo and behold, 66 percent made the cut. Elena Kagan must be Mr. Buckley’s worst nightmare come true because she attended Harvard and also served on Harvard’s faculty:

John Roberts

Antonin Scalia

Anthony Kennedy

Ruth Ginsburg

Stephen Breyer

Elena Kagan

It all reaffirms what I said in another thread:​

Journalism schools, film schools, etc., get tax dollars, too, and you see what they have produced. Worse still are schools for government; they are nothing but Socialist seminaries. Whenever I think of them I think of the plots in two 1964 movies; Failsafe and Dr. Strangelove. Both movies promote the Left’s favorite line of crapola. In both pictures a nuclear bomb is accidentally dropped on the USSR. In a show of good faith the American president makes a deal. The Soviets can bomb one American city in order to avert an all-out nuclear war.

My suggestion is to “accidentally” bomb the University of Tehran after Iran gets the bomb, then tell Iran’s leader he can bomb Harvard to even the score.

Most Unwanted Criminals​

This article offers frightening connections to Garland for those among us who judge nominees as though they had a confirmation vote. Anybody with a connection to Jamie Gorelick, no matter how flimsy, should be in jail not on the Supreme Court:

Alas, my suggestion will not sit well with Muslims:

Harvard University Law School hosted a Muslim Brotherhood-organized conference on April 13 billed as a “human rights” forum on Egypt and the Middle East.

The event, titled “As Goes Egypt, So Goes the Middle East: Changes Begin with Me,” was organized by Egyptians Abroad for Democracy, the overseas branch of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, which Egypt’s current government and many other governments consider to be a violent Islamist movement intent on implementing Shariah law.

EPA Continues To Implement Global Warming Plan Supreme Court Said It Couldn’t​

Concerned Americans have been railing against activist justices ever since Democrats began packing the entire federal judiciary with political hacks. Loyal Americans trying to stop the Supreme Court from legislating never saw bureaucrats sneak up on them. Now, it looks like the sneaks were sneaking up on the sneaks in black robes, too. See this thread for bureaucrats in the line of succession:

Paul Ryan Was Demoted!​

Question: Where in hell is the Senate in the confirmation process for bureaucrats?
