#14   Roe v. Wade is a democratic litmus test.

They're the Blood for Baal party.

#13  #12 #6 -- That's crazy talk, BP. It's, like, 100 years old or something.

Thank you Tommy Vietor

A point not to lose sight of is that the nominee must have nothing, and I mean nothing, in his or her personal life that would provide a basis for blackmail.

#11  Record the outrage and use it in commercials during the election season.

#10  #8 - yes, the states have to weigh in. The ones operating under judicial decrees that tell them how to spend their tax income, telling them how to gerrymander their districts, who gets standing to sue them, et al. It'll take about one to two state legislative sessions to get 2/3rds.

#9  I'm for going farther, P2K

Expand the SCOTUS to 50. Each state appoints their judge for a term of one year. Vice-president gets tie breaker vote just like Senate.

Good luck packing that court.

#8  #7 - Great idea, BUT. 2/3ds of the states would have to approve it. Could take years or never happen at all.

#7  Make them a deal. Congress has 90 days to either pass a Constitutional Amendment limiting judicial terms to 16 years or the Trunk senate can confirm his nominee. Taking a 'life' appointment out of the game would reduce the 'tension' of these games.

#6  Maybe Trump should just pick a judge who'll faithfully follow what the US constitution says...

#5  I hope Trump sticks it to the unhinged left this time and nominates another justice like Bork to replace retiring justice Kennedy.
I would love for conservatives to fight back this time and to not cave in to the hate filled radicals this time like 1987 with justice Bork.
It is now very obvious what the leftist radicals were trying to do way back in 1987 by torpedoing justice Bork.
The leftist were attempting to legislate their lawless tyranny on the entire country at the hand of a few radical justices.
As soon as Trump was elected these leftist justices sprung into action in collusion with social justice groups throughout the country to make judicial rulings from the bench to block the executive branch from carrying out any of its administrative roles to keep the country safe from those who would seek to enter the country illegally and then carry out other crimes or simply by voting to give power to those leftist who would attempt to take over the country for their tyrannical purposes.

#4  The outrage centers (as it always has) on the convenience of infant murder. Roe v. Wade is a democratic litmus test.

#3  Got it - thanks!

#2  You did indeed submit three separate posts, Raj. But for ease of reading, we cluster briefs on the same topic —and this way all the comments on the subject will be in the same thread.

Today we happen to have clusters by province in Iraq, too.
