Obama got to appoint 2 Supreme Court justices in 8 years. Trump will get to appoint 2 in less than 2 years.

Obama should have gotten to appoint 3.

Mitch McConnell is a piece of shit.

And if they move fast enough it gets to be an issue in 2020. I think the left would fucking love to have Trump running on defending the removal of Roe.

You think the Women's March after Trump's election was intense....just wait.

There's a difference between Cuckservatism and the Right.

One of them bows down to leftist accusations of slander and made up words (Islamophobia anyone?) and stands on it's 'principles', losing battle after battle, failing to realize that even if it won a battle for once, society requires certain conditions be met for it's principles to be useful, and that the Left has taken away those conditions.

Both are equally cancerous and must be extirpated for Western civilization as it is understood to survive.

[Adam Jensen]

The scary thing is that's legitimately on the table with Trump.

Welp, it's been nice knowing you America, I'm moving to Mars with Elon Musk and Matt Damon.

Christ, it'll be Judge Jeanine Pirro, won't it?

RIP Abortion

Justice Kennedy is a good man.

Exactly. That's the point. We'd be going in with McConnell okaying a court pick in an election year despite what he said, the Democrats relentlessly pointing out how unbalanced the Court is, and waving the radical social decision to overturn Roe.

If I still had a dick it'd be rock hard for two years.

[Adam Jensen]

Never thought of her but the idea of folks like you being uncomfortable with it makes me support it wholesale.

You would watch the world burn to spite liberals.

You would literally eat Donald Trump's shit, if you thought it pissed off liberals.

I can't think of a single lower position to place yourself in. This has got to be the most idiotic way of thinking to exist.

Its not the Senate's job to rubber stamp any judge the President nominates. Its their job to advise and consent. They told Obama his choice sucked and was a left wing activist judge and go pound sand. Give us a good judge to consider and we will approve it

To quote Orrin Hatch, one of the most conservative members in the legislature, from 2010

"Asked if Garland would win Senate confirmation with bipartisan support, Hatch told Reuters, “No question.”

“I have no doubts that Garland would get a lot of (Senate) votes. And I will do my best to help him get them,” added Hatch, a former Judiciary Committee chairman."

and 2016,

"The President told me several times he’s going to name a moderate [to fill the court vacancy], but I don’t believe him," Hatch told us.

"[Obama] could easily name Merrick Garland, who is a fine man," he told us, referring to the more centrist chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia who was considered and passed over for the two previous high court vacancies.

Obama literally nominated the centrist judge the Republicans had been asking for, to which they replied with a big middle finger. As for your "their job isn't to rubber stamp any Presidential nominees" thing, McConnel and Grassley have already stated they will move to get anyone Trump nominates approved as swiftly as possible. As in, they're going to rubber stamp whoever he puts up as a nominee.

You were given a good judge, one that you had literally been asking for for years, and refused to even consider it.

Hey that's how I felt when Obamacare passed and my health insurance skyrocketed.

I couldn't agree more.

Yay America is becoming a totalitarian state!

[BuckSparkles]

You're not the entire country or even the majority.


Notice that word "popular." That changes what I said. If you weren't colossally stupid you would have noticed that the country aligned against you recently over child separation. Now imagine court decisions aimed at overturning abortion or gay marriage. You guys are fucking morons if you think this ends well for anyone.

Well if pussy-hat wearing male feminists want to fight strong, traditional family role gun-loving men, that's their mistake.

So I do say to the Supreme Court, continue full speed!

[Adam Jensen]

You realize that hating more than half of Americans puts you closer to "enemy of the US" part of the spectrum than "patriot of the US", right?

I mean seriously, what precisely did the libs do to you, that made you such a bitter and angry enemy of the US?

Besides the higher wages, progressive science, equal rights for gays and blacks and better healthcare reform what have the liberals ever done for us?

It's a shame you are not as entertaining as your avatar.

I've no idea why male feminists would want to fight beta cucks that rely on guns to compensate for their personal deficiencies.

Care to explain?

Your welcome then for me sticking up for your gun rights.

[Gutpile]

Your opinion of what "a good judge" is, is immaterial given your opinions on just about every subject. Radicals don't know what a moderate is, because to them a moderate is a "suber lib anti american hateful person".

Your opinion of anything is immaterial given your opinions on just about every subject. Cheer on any police officer's murder lately?

Silly arguments on the internet are irrelevant when my side is achieving real world victories.

The supreme court was a very important battleground and prize of this election.

I hope the Democrats in the Senate are going to enjoy reaping what they sowed. What I refer to here is that with regards to the Gorsuch nomination they acted like he was some radical when it came to replacing someone like Scalia. At the time some Republicans like Collins warned them that trying to block Gorsuch would only lead to the nuclear option and result in the Democrats not having any real say with replacing Kennedy.

Fact is that a few Republicans would have been far less willing to nuke the filibuster to replace Kennedy then they were with Gorsuch.
