GOOD!

Lol

 

:popcorn:

 

I will admit that I said he would be gone by now, but the GOP has problems.

Lovin' it!

GOOD!

 

Papa, I assume you are saying good because you think Trump would have a tougher time beating Hillary than others in the R party? You certainly are not a Trump fan is my guess. So do you really want HRC to be our next President? Would you vote for any R's over HRC??

I know you asked papa and not me, but I'll chime in: "No, No, and HELL NO!!!"

 

Now, if I knew for sure that one of them would nominate progressive Supreme Court justices, then I'd consider it. Right now, turning the Court over the other way is top priority.

Spoken like a true Leftist with no regard for the Constitution.

David Souter was as "Progressive" as you could have ever wanted and he was nominated by whom exactly...ah yes, a Republican President. He even waited for Obama to to be elected to ensure another "Liberal" took his place...again nominated by a Republican President.

 

John Roberts was the swing vote on Obamacare, who was he nominated by...again a Republican.

 

Yes there are some Justices that generally go right or left in nearly all cases. But there are two recent (last 20 years) nominees by Republicans that have not as you would say "Followed the Party Line".

 

The next "Liberal" appointed Justice to not follow the "Party Line" will be the first in forever to do so.

I don't think one case a liberal justice makes (and even that one was a nice nod to the right by writing the majority opinion to lay the groundwork for a weakening of the Commerce Clause). Roberts has been steadfast in pushing the Court's decisions toward the right, though he's exhibited more restraint than some of his colleagues would have. Scalia, Alito, and Thomas are as rigidly ideological as justices will get. Ginsberg is probably the only liberal on the court I would consider similarly rigid. Breyer and Sotomayor have joined a good number of unorthodox coalitions with the conservative wing, depending on the issue. I think Kagan is more of a milquetoast Democrat on the bench without either the ideology of Ginsberg or pragmatism of Breyer and Sotomayor. At any rate, the polarization on the Court is hardly a liberal thing and its disposition can change drastically in the next four to eight years.

Fact checkers literally cannot find a single thing Trump has said that is true

I would LOVE to hear your opinion on each of these situations?

And everyone, the pattern is very easy to figure out here.

Liberals are reaching for something.

Trump says no to illegals and he becomes a racist.

The NYT analysis would disagree with your analysis. Kagan, Sotomayer and Ginsberg vote liberal about 70% of the time while Breyer is at 59%. Kennedy was right at 50% while Roberts and Scalia were at 45% liberal vote and Thomas and Alito were at 40% liberal vote. Surprised me, although the data is from the 2013 term. I would love to see an analysis for each term.
