Doc Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Supreme Court nomination could end the Senate’s history as the world’s greatest deliberative body With Trump expected to announce his first Supreme Court pick Tuesday, Republicans are contemplating putting an end to the filibuster, allowing them to confirm a justice with a simple majority. But its all Harry's fault.... Boo hoo. It's called "looking further down the road," an ability the liberals seem to lack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Miner Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Trump bringing The Two Supreme Court favorites to Washington https://kobi5.com/ne...shington-45668/ Once his SC nominees get approved, liberals will begin whining that judges should have term limits, much like the electoral college needs to go away.

B-Man Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 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. .

KD in CA Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Senate committee approves DeVos nomination http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/317044-senate-committee-approves-devos-nomination 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.

Education secretary nominee that appears to have plagiarized answers submitted to senate committee Also cited threats from "potential grizzles" as a reason for guns in schools... Another gem...

I was half kidding when I wrote that. Turns out it's true It’s ‘The Apprentice, Supreme Court Edition,’ as Trump Summons Finalists to White House ■ President Trump is bringing his top two candidates for the Supreme Court to the White House on Tuesday, adding to the tension ahead of his prime-time court announcement. ■ Networks will give Mr. Trump the show he wants, cutting into prime-time programming to broadcast his Supreme Court choice. ■ They may be “getting away with murder” but President Trump played the nice guy with drug makers at the White House.

PastaJoe Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 This. But worse...she is a Christian who donates much money to Christian private schools. It's like the double whammy for leftists. Two things they hate: private schools and people who believe in God. Just the people who want make their religious beliefs the law for everyone. Seperation of church and state. 'DeVos has said that she wants to advance Gods kingdom through school reform, a view that is far from mainstream. Similarly, many of her family members views which she has, whether genuinely or shrewdly sought to distance herself from recently are alarmingly extreme, such as support for conversion therapy, opposition to same-sex marriage or the view that intelligent design should be taught in schools.' Private schools would be fine if they accepted anyone who applied. But they get to decide which students they want to admit, while public schools don't. So they want public funds while being able to deny students they want. They take the best and leave the rest in public schools with less money, which can lead to public schols closing, as was the case in Detroit. 'During DeVoss hearing, Sen. Bernie Sanders asked DeVos, Do you think that if you were not a multibillionaire, if your family had not made hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions, that you would be sitting here today? The implication that DeVos is only being considered for this job, which would be her first as a public servant, as a political favor to reward her for years of donations is not without merit. While Sen. Alexander asserted in his post that her critics dislike her because shes wealthy, in reality its because her wealth appears to be buying her a cabinet post that she is unqualified to hold. By some estimates, DeVos and her family have donated over $200 million to Republicans nationally, including sizable donations to many of the senators who will vote on her confirmation. In fact, DeVos is open about her support of pay-for-play, once stating that I have decided to stop taking offense at the suggestion that we are buying influence. Now I simply concede the point. They are right. We do expect something in return.' Throw in her lack of experience and subject knowledge, and yeah, there's lots to oppose. http://www.usnews.com/opinion/knowledge-bank/articles/2017-01-25/5-reasons-to-oppose-betsy-devos-for-donald-trumps-secretary-of-education https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2016/12/08/a-sobering-look-at-what-betsy-devos-did-to-education-in-michigan-and-what-she-might-do-as-secretary-of-education/?utm_term=.8ee3faf50b26 https://news.vice.com/story/school-choice-detroit-betsy-devos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
