Trump picks Gorsuch

Thing1 said:
Another "beam me up, Scotty" moment. McConnell coming out & lecturing Democrats (much like Yurt in the OP) about how they should give Trump's nominee an up or down vote, just like the GOP did w/ Clinton's 1st 2 nominees and Obama's 1st 2 nominees. Of course, he doesn't mention Obama's "other" nominee.

a) I disagree.
Majority Leader McConnell refusing to give Obama's SCOTUS nominee a hearing delayed filling the slot until a Republican president could do so.

That didn't give them the white house. It gave them, or perhaps more properly, "restored" a 5:4 Republican advantage they had while Scalia was on the court.

b) What gave them the white house was Trump's masterful manipulation of mass media to his own ends.

And what ends are those?

SURPRISE !!

Wow!
Vote an unethical $Billionaire $Businessman into the most powerful job in the world,
and who knew he'd act in his own economic self-interest!

Gorsuch! Why the %$#@ didn't those low down dirty Democraps warn us?

His credentials are incredible. If the democrats are still pissy about Garland, let's not forget what Biden said. Democrats need to grow up. If it was important to get an up or down vote with Garland, then it should be important now.

I doubt it will happen, Democrats love to whine about the very things they support and do.

Translation from Yurtish. "If Democrats do to Gorsuch what Republicans did to Garland I'm going to have another meltdown.".

In your dreams.....They had the power, your guild don't have anything except MOUTH. Just like the conformations...the left will bloviate...make minority token attacks, followed by the she bitch token attack, and chuckie schumer will parade out a grannie hippie from the 60s that had back ally abortion as a prop to attack the right to life stance...yada, yada,

But....there will be no BORK'N in mudville today because the mighty chuckie has struck out.

They will intentionally drag this out and force the Nuclear Option. They are not done. They're just trying to decide how publicly shitty they will be and will it be worth the possibility of losing their careers.

They certainly will claim they are.

For the good of America and all....

I can see Chuck Schumer holding back tears now when only 51 votes are required...
 
One hopes that the man does not allow his obvious religious bias to control his decisions. But then again he wasn't selected for nothing. It has always stuck me as hypocritical how a religious test is now the determining factor in selecting judges in America by the republicans. But it also points out that the religious choice must coincide with your religious values. No religious Mormons or Muslims allowed. Imagine a Mormon judge ruling in favor of multiple wives? That would be funny. In this case it is only the right of religious discrimination and the love of the unborn that mattered. The born by the way don't count, they must fend on their own. Religion, like that constitution document, must work in the right way or all is lost. Interesting piece below.

Clearly, we need an all Muslim supreme court. It's the only way to make the leftwing happy.

Nah. But it would have been nice if Republicans gave a hearing to Obama's very moderate choice instead of going nearly a year with just 8 justices.

Obama divided the country. He was horrible.
 
He got the job last time on a voice vote but the donkeys already said they would try to make it difficult.
Whatever...
 
Gorsuch is qualified. I don't agree with his politics, but he should be confirmed.

The Democrats should really not sink to the level the Republicans did, but they will.
 
"The Democrats should really not sink to the level the Republicans did, but ..." J #58

The Republicans should really not sink to the level the Republicans did, but they did.

The whole People of the United States need a loyal opposition, and a level playing field.

Republicans already have a powerful advantage over the Democrats in the electoral college.

We're almost two decades and 3 presidents into the 3rd Millennium.
In these 16 years there've been one Democrat and two Republican presidents.

BUT !!

There would have been no Republican presidents in that time, without the million vote advantage the e.c. gives the Republicans.

And now you advocate the Democrats give the Republicans even MORE advantage?

For Republicans to obstruct in unbridled form, and the Democrats to meekly cooperate with Republicans would add a titanic bias to our political system that might work no end of harm.

It is each party treating the other party equally that balances the system.

If Republicans want meek cooperation from Democrats, then Republicans will have to first provide meek cooperation to Democrats during the full term of a Democrat president.

So that option is off the table for the duration of the Trump administration.

Why do a 180 about a religious TEST. It was just yesterday the lunatic left was propagating a religious test concerning the President's extreme vetting immigration enforcement EO. As far ABORTION on demand.....there is no religious test needed all one need do is allow SCIENCE to take the stand in defense of human life....proving that once a human DNA signature exists in a state of gestation.....human life exists.
