Justice Kennedy to step down

[madinsomniac]

Credit to Del for posting this another thread. They have no chance.

There is no blue wave in the Senate, that's for sure:

They literally have no shot. None.

Absolutely, but thats not the line being fed to the base.... much like impeachment wouldn't hand the presidency to the Dems, but many are being led to believe it will...

I hope it's Barrett, for no other reason than this:

Conservative:

Liberal:

Studies have been conducted, Conservatives are better looking than Liberals. Just a fact.

Ever looked over and seen what's driving the Prius? Take your own sample set. It's true.

Jeez, Ginsburg is a duplicate for this guy:

Holy ****, if the crypt keeper ever robs a bank, Ginsburg better get her alibi in order.

Do you really think the base can’t read between the lines? I know there stupid but are they really that stupid ?

I guarantee you that the Dem establishment is very happy Kennedy resigned. Remember, elitist Dems care about nothing other than holding power. They have no core beliefs other than those that they think can get the largest number of people beholden to them.

That's why you can play a montage of people like Clinton or Schumer taking the exact opposite stance just a few months apart. That's how Obama switches from being against gay marriage to it's biggest supporter. Whatever is required at that moment to get elected is Dem policy.

With that in mind they don't give a **** about the court. They are happy because they now have an issue they can run on.

Polls have shown them that impeachment is a loser. Immigration is a loser. The economy is booming so talking about that is a loser.

Now they have an angle that may work. Vote Dem or by next year, abortion will be illegal, women will no longer have the right to vote, and slavery will be reinstated.

Voting Dem is always based on emotion, not reason, so this hysteria is made to order for Dem elitists campaigns.

You know who clerked for Kennedy? Neil Gorsuch. I don't know if who they clerked under is as important as their record or their adherence to upholding the constitution.

And I was worried about him too. I have flashbacks to Souter and Kennedy. I agree records matter but Souter had a "record" as well. I know Mike Lee will be a long term conservative.

Great find on that Twitter feed, Tim. One if his tweets is a video of a black supporter at one of his rallies - Twitter makes me click through a "This Tweet may include potentially sensitive content" to see it.

Strange how the right constantly needs to skewer facts and reality. If you think 'liberals don't care about kids at the border' all of the sudden because of Kennedy's resignation and think this is just 'any other crackpot liberal issue' you're ignoring the facts on the ground. Nearly 600 protestors were arrested yesterday in DC including congresswoman Jayapal, with massive, nationwide rallies expected tomorrow. It may come as a shock to some, but people actually care about what their government is doing. This is a humanitarian issue, a moral issue. It should not be a partisan issue, as the right is making it out to be. The fact is, this aggressive, zero tolerance policy is happening right here and right now in 2018, and many people disagree with it around the country, like it or not.

Easily fixed. Seat the Justice before the election.

It won't be a campaign issue because the seat will be filled before the election.

And where were all of those people at when Obama was president and he was holding people in cages, just like all the pictures prove ?

Total bullshit selective outrage. Anything to try and make Trump look bad. You should know by now he is Teflon Don but keep trying younkeep looking dumber and dumber. Until you move on to the next outrage.

It will be a campaign issue for Democrat Senate incumbents in states that President Trump won.

WINNING!


President Trump could end up replacing 3, even 4, Supreme Court justices in his first term

President Donald Trump reportedly has said he thinks he can remake nearly half of the nation's highest court in his image with four separate appointments.

•Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush made only two appointments each over eight years in office.

•Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 85, and Trump has reportedly speculated that Sonia Sotomayor could be forced into early retirement because of diabetes

Have you guys read about the situation with Justice Kennedy's son which may explain his sudden resignation? I swear we're living in the Twilight Zone with this President. Not a day passes without some new, crazy story leaking out. A tangled web indeed.... No wonder it's taking Mueller some time to unpack it all.

Good Lord I've seen it all now.

Since your resurrection from underneath your bed from behind your wall, and while taking a break from your cats...you have called the conservatives here "conspiracy theorists" no fewer than probably 1,243 times.

Yet you post bullshit like this. Theories. Which is what the Left has done since 2016 - thrown accusations and claims at YOUR President, Donald J. Trump, trying to hope something will stick.

You're a lemming. As your whack AltLeft Liberal sources go, so too do you.

Since it fits Tibs, wear it.

Wonder why they aren't screaming for gun control after a shooting? Wonder why the news has never mentioned THE GUN?


Because it's a SHOTGUN!


Maryland suspect used legally purchased pump-action shotgun

"We've confirmed I think already that it was a shotgun used in the incident," Police Chief Timothy Altomare said at a press conference on Friday.

"I will also confirm that it was a pump action shotgun, it was legally purchased a year or so ago."

Why aren't they screaming BAN SHOTGUNS?????????

So you are suggesting that Trump leveraged Justice Kennedy out of his seat on the Supreme Court so he could put his own guy in there? I love the way the tweet by Mark Follman is worded in a way to suggest Kennedy's son, not Deutsche bank was "Trump's most important lender." Like Kennedy's son could just loan Trump over a billion dollars all by himself. Well, it will certainly get the left frothing at the mouth.

Come on Tibor. I thought you were better than that.

Nobody's frothing at the mouth. I think the point to be made here is that it's well known Deutsche Bank is front and center of the Mueller probe, with defined ties to Russian money laundering. The fact Justice Kennedy's son was the point man for Trump's loans at the bank is a bit of a shock, is it not? The innuendo is he too may be in Mueller's cross hairs, along with whatever else they have on Trump. That could have made Justice Kennedy uncomfortable enough to hasten his exit before the hammer drops. I'm not saying this is the case, I'm saying that's what makes this revelation interesting. Just didn't know where to post it, here, connected to Kennedy's sudden, unexpected retirement, or in the Mueller investigation thread, as it seems to be relevant to both.

this is not relevant anywhere....more liberal drivel to stir up the liberal masses.....

Sounds like you have a magic wand that makes the fact Justice Kennedy's son was the lead banker for Deutsche Bank disappear. A bank under investigation for Russian money laundering which secured Trump a billion dollars in loans when no other banks would. Abracadabra.
