TIMELY: 5 Things You Should Know About Supreme Court Nominee Neil Gorsuch.
LOL.............ABC News rushes out DNC release on SCOTUS nominee Neil Gorsuch before he’s done speaking
and as one of your constituents Senator Schumer, I'm kind of confused by your slander towards Judge Gorsuch.
why then did you vote for him previously Senator ?
Remember, Gorsuch was confirmed unanimously by the Senate to the 10th Circuit.
What has changed ? (rhetorical)
Sasse Statement on Supreme CourtWashington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Ben Sasse, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, issued the following statement regarding President Trump’s nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the United States Supreme Court.
"Neil Gorsuch is a highly-regarded jurist with a record of distinguished service, rooted in respect for the law. He was confirmed unanimously by Democrats and Republicans. Senator Schumer is about to tell Americans that Judge Gorsuch kicks puppies and heckles piano recitals. That’s hogwash. Democrats are working overtime to cast Judge Gorsuch as a reflexive partisan but, as I said when Justice Scalia died, there are no Republican or Democratic seats on the Supreme Court. -
Are you talking about Merrick Garland? I agree, eminently qualified.
Nope, that decision was left up to the American people, and they chose Trump over Hillary .
One of the main reasons that I decided to overlook The Donald's blowhard actions was the Supreme Court,
and he came through.
Gorsuch is as good as it gets. First-rate intellect. Has integrity. Writes brilliantly. And, most important, he treats his role properly.
And, like Scalia, Gorsuch isn’t a conservative so much as a textualist and an originalist who takes the law as the law and not as putty.

Neil Gorsuch: A Worthy Heir to Scalia
Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/444437/neil-gorsuch-antonin-scalia-supreme-court-textualist-originalist-heirGorsuch is a Colorado native and the son of a Republican politician, the late Anne Gorsuch Burford, who was a state legislator and then director of the Environmental Protection Agency for President Reagan. He attended Columbia University and Harvard Law School, after which he clerked for D.C. Circuit Court judge David Sentelle. He then clerked for Supreme Court justices Byron White and Anthony Kennedy in 1993–94. The next year he studied for a doctorate of philosophy at Oxford University under the legal philosopher John Finnis.

This is a really well thought out and reasoned thought. Stay classy my friend. I will await the predictable "verbal thrashing" on how I am a whiny liberal.......5....4...3...2...1...
No................no thrashing.
but I would point out that it was such a useless, petty remark that no one even bothered to respond to him in three hours.

Someone linked his story yesterday, basically that liberals need to turn Trump into Hitler, otherwise they end up looking like morons.
Here you go sir.
SCOTT ADAMS:
Obviously they don’t prefer it in a conscious way. But the alternative to Trump becoming Hitler is that they have to live out the rest of their lives as confirmed morons.
No one wants to be a confirmed moron. And certainly not after announcing their Trump opinions in public and demonstrating in the streets.
It would be a total embarrassment for the anti-Trumpers to learn that Trump is just trying to do a good job for America.
It’s a threat to their egos. A big one.”

I've seen some mild hysteria over this one, which will certainly be pushed to the back burner as soon as the SC fight gets underway. What is the left's problem with DeVos, other than being a billionaire?
Believes in school choice.
So that is seen as anti-union, anti-education.
As Big Dan Teague would say....."It's all about the money, boys!"

BREAKING: Senate confirms Elaine Chao to serve as Transportation secretary in Trump administration.
Vote was 93 - 6
Senator Schumer voted no.
Fortunately, these past eight years of liberals and media have taught all of us the obvious reason why.
He must be a racist or a sexist.

EVEN TED RALL THINKS THE WOMEN’S MARCH WAS STUPID:
A good indication that the Women’s March got coopted into a Democratic boo-hoo Hillary/Cory Booker-in-2020 pep rally was that the speakers were limited to celebrity millionaire liberal Democrats like Michael Moore, Ashley Judd and Gloria. Had this been a militant action (i.e., one that might frighten Trump and the GOP), or a coalition of liberals who welcomed and respected their leftist allies rather than merely wanting to vampirize their righteous anger and energy into midterm votes, the roster of speakers would have included people calling for revolutionary change and action outside of the existing system. There would also have been some radical activists you’d never [heard] of who do important work.Celebrity liberalism and pleas to vote Democratic are where the Left goes to die….Well, they managed to make it too obnoxious to appeal to the mainstream, and too vapid to appeal to the hard-left. Nice work!
UPDATE: From the comments: “When you’ve lost Ted Rall, you’ve lost anti-America.”..
Plus: “Video of the march is probably a much greater recruitment tool for ISIS than any travel ban.” True.

Democrats Face a Political Math Problem
“What we are witnessing are the effects of ‘epistemic closure’ on the Left, as the Obama era caused progressives to think of themselves as being on ‘the right side of history.’ This triumphant belief in their own moral superiority, in turn, led Democrats to believe that they no longer had to debate the merits of policies, because anyone who opposed them could be dismissed as ignorant and/or evil.”
As I say, they’re doing a better job of de-normalizing themselves than of de-normalizing Trump.

CONSUMER CHOICE: Sales Of Short-Term Insurance Plans Could Surge If Health Law Is Relaxed.
After the Affordable Care Act was enacted, some people gravitated toward the short-term plans because they were willing to trade comprehensive coverage for a cheaper sticker price — even if it meant paying a tax penalty for not having the comprehensive coverage required in the law. Sales increased sharply.Now, as Republicans look for ways to loosen the health law’s coverage requirements and explore the possibility of not enforcing the requirement that people have health insurance, sales of short-term plans may be poised to grow even more. If that happens, consumer advocates say it could be bad for consumers.And what do these “advocates” say is so bad for consumers?
As the policies’ name suggests, short-term plans provide coverage for a limited period, often six months or less. They generally don’t cover such things as pre-existing conditions, maternity services or prescription drugs. The policies typically have maximum coverage limits of about $1 million.In short, the same kind of plans consumers were so crazy about that ObamaCare had to mandate them.
Leave it to the experts to tell people what they really want.

Senate committee approves DeVos nomination

Today, Acting Attorney General Sally Yates said she won’t defend Trump’s refugee Executive Order.She’s a holdover from the Obama Administration. And she’s only there because the Senate hasn’t yet confirmed Jeff Sessions as the new Attorney General.
Tonight on CNN, renowned law professor and Liberal Alan Dershowitz said what he thought of Yates’ move.
He called it a “mistake” and “holdover heroism.”
From the video:
Alan Dershowitz: “Sally Yates is a terrific public servant, but I think she’s made a serious mistake here. This is holdover heroism. It’s so easy to be a heroine when you’re not appointed by this president, when you’re on the other side. She made a serious mistake. I think what she should have done is do a nuanced analysis of what parts of the order are Constitutional, what parts are in violation of the statute, what parts are perfectly lawful. There’s an enormous distinction between green card holders on the one hand, people who are in the country and need to be thrown out on the second hand, and people who are simply applying to get visas. There’s also a distinction between what’s Constitutional, what’s statutorially prohibited . . . by lumping them all together, she has made a political decision rather than a legal one.“
-
Acting Attorney General Orders Justice Dept. Not to Defend Refugee Ban. Imagine what people would say if a Republican holdover did this to a Democratic president. . . .
UPDATE: “You’re fired.” You knew that was coming, right?
“The acting Attorney General, Sally Yates, has betrayed the Department of Justice by refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States. This order was approved as to form and legality by the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel.”
Well, if she seriously believed it was unconstitutional, she was right to decline to enforce it. And Trump was within his rights to replace her with someone who would.
That’s how it works.
ANOTHER UPDATE: From the comments: “Hysterical Facebook friends and insane protesters continue to bolster my confidence that I voted correctly.”

IT’S TOUGH WHEN YOUR BASE IS CRAZY
Sometimes you wonder why Democratic politicians are so crazed. But then you see stories like this that make it clear:
Protesters shouted down Rhode Island Democratic U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse during a community event as they protested his vote in favor of President Donald Trump’s nominee for CIA director and pushed him to vote against other nominees.A video of Sunday’s event posted by the group Resist Hate RI shows hundreds of people at the event, and the crowd chanting “Just Say No!” and “Obstruct!” while demanding an explanation of his vote for Mike Pompeo as CIA director.I’m so old, I can remember when Democrats condemned obstructionism. And who knew that one day, the Democrats would adopt Nancy Reagan’s “Just say no” mantra as their own?
Note that the protesters have nothing in particular against Pompeo, a superbly qualified nominee.
Likewise with Chuck Schumer. Try as he might, he just can’t get far enough left:
A coalition of activists called #NotOneInch are planning a poignant and unique form of protest today: delivering a number of “back-up spines” to Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s apartment in Brooklyn, New York.The protestors are organizing in response to Schumer’s vote to approve three of President Donald Trump’s cabinet members: Mike Pompeo, James Mattis and Mike Flynn.It isn’t enough to oppose some of an opposing president’s nominees. You have to oppose all of them!
The liberal press tries to pretend that it is conservatives who are extreme, but in 2009, were there conservative activists demanding that Republican Senators block every single Obama nomination, without exception? No. Not one conservative, to my recollection, demanded any such thing. Obama’s nominations breezed through, even such sketchy choices as Eric Holder.
If Democratic politicians seem crazy these days, there is a good reason: they are trying to satisfy a demented base.

IMAGINE IF GEORGE W. BUSH HAD SAID THIS ABOUT TEA PARTY PROTESTS AGAINST OBAMA IN 2009: Obama: I’m “heartened” by all of the public protest over Trump’s E.O.

Best 10 days, I have ever seen.
I sure as hell didn't want Trump, but the way he is bringing out the foolishness and hysteria of all the lefties (especially on our board) is just wonderful.
Every "middle of the roader" I know is laughing at the over reactions by Media / Hollywood / dems

In a way, the Left’s ability to go bonkers in lockstep is impressive. You have to give them credit for message discipline, if nothing else. The idea that a 90-day stay on travel from Yemen, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia and Libya is of any particular significance–let alone the crisis of the age!–is crazy. But on the Left these days, craziness isn’t just permitted, it is required.
There are many ways to gauge the Left’s overreaction to Trump’s executive order. Here is one: the main page of CNN.com. Note that every single story is about Trump’s order, and nearly all of them attack it. “Travel ban blasted,” indeed!

At this point, I have no idea which side will be hurt worse–the Trump administration for its inept implementation of the travel hiatus, or the left-wing press, for its juvenile and dishonest hysteria.
Certainly there has been a terrifically entertaining increase in hysterical liberal posts and threads here on PPP. No longer just the predictable outbursts of Exiled and Baskin, the ignorance of Pasta and Gator, but now we have The incredibly well-named "Meathead" and lunacy of Dr. Sack.
I knew that there would be a constant outcry, but this has really exceeded my fondest wishes.
But good news for them, I will continue to post articles from the right (pro and anti Trump) that I have no doubt they would not have access to otherwise.
No need to thank me.
