Abortion isn't ever going to be the main issue in elections. It may have some people making a lot of noise about it but many of us conservatives have no problem with the libs killing off their own.

I disagree on this issue, and strongly. I think many, many women who would describe themselves as conservative would be be very concerned about this R. V Wade issue. I include in that group women who would never consider having an abortion themselves, but who would likely see this as going backwards as it relates to women's rights.  I have no hard data to back this up, just a hunch based on conversations and feedback with many women.

 

I do not believe there is any serious threat to the abortion issue nationally, cannot see any party looking to pick a fight with women in general, and firmly believe this I'd a fight that will be a loser.

The issues of the judge ruling about self pardons, if the president can duck a subpoena and other issues associated with the investigation into possible criminal conduct by this president will also be important. Will she (it will be a she, I believe) recuse herself from ruling on such matters? If this court lets  Trump skate by not having to testify, pardoning all his buddies and himself with 5-4 votes in the courts, then we are not a nation of laws anymore.

He should nominate Hillary. Wait, wasn't she disbarred or something?

 

He should nominate her just so the Senate can refuse to confirm her.

 

Then she'll have been denied two of the three branches of government.

It's an amazing talking point. Harris, their only possible nominee in 2020, went on CNN and said Kennedy's retirement means the Constitution is about to be shredded... because Trump is going to appoint a constitutionalist to the court. The establishment DNC has no argument left but hyperbolic idiocy.

 

Their platform right now is raising taxes, open borders or amnesty, and "working class" socialism. November will be a disaster for them.

Absolutely -- but the underlined part of his last sentence is what amused me.

Amazing how Progressives, people that prided themselves on moving Forward!, are so freaked out about the retirement of an old white guy who has been there for over 30 years

 

They'll all rejoice and sing about diversity and glass ceilings if Trump nominates a woman, right?

Amazing how she can weigh in on ANY serious legal issues on behalf of the Communist Party USA/Democrat Party when she could not even pass the California Bar Exam

You weren't kidding about the D bench being shallow. Harris a possible, if not likely, nominee? Yikes.

Harris will make a big run because Planned Parenthood is completely beholden to her for raiding the house of David Dalaiden while she was AG in CA. They stormed the house, confiscated all his undercover videos, and basically shut him down to protect PP.

 

Point being, she will do ANYTHING for money and support, so make no mistake about her chances to run in 2020.

Collins: Won't support SCOTUS pick hostile to abortion rights


Washington (CNN)Republican Sen. Susan Collins, a key vote in the coming Supreme Court confirmation fight, said Sunday she would not support a nominee hostile to the landmark abortion ruling in Roe v. Wade

 

"The President really was soliciting my views on the type of nominee that I was looking for," Collins said. "I emphasized that I wanted a nominee who would respect precedent, a fundamental tenet of our judicial system."

We need more planned parenthood clinics in targeted areas.

See the new @USSupremeCourt clearly: Abortion illegal; doctors prosecuted; gay people barred from restaurants, hotels, stores; African-Americans out of elite schools; gun control banned in 50 states; the end of regulatory state. My @NewYorker column.
 

 

 
Please remember that this hysterical lunatic is one of CNN’s primary Supreme Court analysts...
 
 
 
Also.........is he saying that African Americans cannot be in elite schools except by the help of SCOTUS?

His twitter account has a banner that says "From the bestselling author whose book The Run of His Life inspired the FX drama "The People vs. O.J. Simpson..."

 

Really?  Like no one ever thought about a docu-drama about OJ until he wrote a book?  Could he be any more of a self-centered little twerp?  :lol:

In all fairness, if you work at CNN, it's a little hard to get attention...what with Jim Acosta yelling at everyone all the time.

The Federalist Society has picked its list for Trump. There needs to be a complete and transparent look at what this society is using to pick these people, what financial dealings the leaders of this society have before the courts, what discussions were had in relation to the pick. 

 

 

The pick also also needs to promise to recuse themselves from any matters relating to Trumps criminal investigation. 

 

A criminal cannot be allowed to choose the judges that might have to rule on self-pardons, ignoring subpoenas, pardoning his buddies and other issues of executive privilege.

You are a drunken POS who can't even ignore me correctly. You have said time and again I was on ignore, now put me on ignore and go drink yourself into another stupor and pass out of the park bench and don't reply to my posts.

It amazes me that the fringe on both sides still gets anxious over Roe v. Wade in 2018.  

 

The Supreme Court isn't going to touch that case ever again, regardless of who is on it.  They aren't in the business of overturning one of their own decisions.  It'd be like rewriting a chapter of the Bible to "reflect modern viewpoints."
