Anthony Kennedy just announced his retirement!

[August West]

Oh HELL YEAH! Trump's election was worth TWO SCOTUS picks. Damn I like WINING!!

One pick legit. One pick stolen.

 

[Some Guy]

Gotta admit, it's going to be fun watching the usual suspects in the media lose their minds over this. As if they needed anything else to show just how unglued they are.

 

[Polishprince]

Same level? An SC seat is far beyond the appointments Dems passed their rule for.

The Constitution says a majority is all that's needed. Garland didn't have a majority. Gorsuch did.

Capische?

 

[hadit]

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

Won't happen. The Democrats are powerless to stop proceedings in this matter.

Oh, they'll try. We'll see tears and tantrums.

 

[OKTexas]

Oh HELL YEAH! Trump's election was worth TWO SCOTUS picks. Damn I like WINING!!

Me thinks the court will swing more conservative now. A great day for the Constitution.

Yessir, a politically biased court...just as the founding fathers intended!

Yeah, following the Constitution, soooooooooooooooo political. IDIOT.

The administration better wrap this up before the mid-terms. If the Democrats take the Senate; which I believe to be unlikely, they can stymie the President's nomination until the cows home.

 

[ChesBayJJ]

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

Yup. That precedent was set with Justice Gorsuch.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

This just made a lot of people happy.
A bunch of people on here and IRL have said they only voted for trump for the SC nominees

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?

We are cheering for getting good policies.

If progessives has there way we would have no bill of rights

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Yeah, following the Constitution, soooooooooooooooo political. IDIOT.

Yep,a severely biased court...just as the founding fathers intended. Yessir professor, you are smart.

 

[blackhawk]

Just heard on ABC News radio.

Well that should send the far left into hysterical overdrive.

Watch Trump move at light speed

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Apparently the mods here who are libs haven't spotted this thread yet, or else they would have whisked it away by now to an obscure board no one sees.

 

[Some Guy]

Trump won't be able to rush to a microphone fast enough.

 

[skews13]

Shit is going to hit the fan boys and girls...

Yep. We now have a government that does not represent a majority of the people. When such a government exists that the majority of the people do not respect, the people will act accordingly.

Do not act shocked or surprised in the coming future when those actions occur.

you were one of them i was thinking about

 

[Aba Incieni]

Or, the POTUS can nomination someone on August 1st and that person can be sitting on the bench by mid-August.

 

[WillowTree]

Replace Kennedy with Merrick Garland.

In your wettest dreams!

 

[mdk]

I thought it was stupid of the Democrats to get rid of the option in the first place for all nominations except the Supreme Court. Once it was gone, there was nothing stopping the GOP from getting rid of the exception for the Supreme Court

It's remarkable how short-sighted politicians can be.
.

Is it?

 

[Wyatt earp]

Yeah, following the Constitution, soooooooooooooooo political. IDIOT.

Yep,a severely biased court...just as the founding fathers intended. Yessir professor, you are smart.

It gave you gay marriage and Roe vs wade
