I saw that. This is huge.

Good times.

to me, this was the most important thing about trump vs hills
if "it" won, the supremes would have been stacked way left for a generation

Good news if our open carry/ccw bill goes to Scotus.

I agree. Looking at the ages of the current justices, Ginsburg and Breyer could leave any time. Gorsuch for Scalia would have gone differently.
As we are today, there are 5 conservatives and younger than 70. If Kennedy and Scalia were to have been replaces with liberals, that could probably last 2-3 generations.
-
Liberal judges Ginsberg and Breyer have both said they will not retire during a Trump administration.
-
After the 5-4 decision to uphold the President's authority to ban any country he wants from US immigration, Twitter was teeming with people bemoaning the Constitution (again).
This time, they want to change it to have age limits for Supreme Court Justices.
Wouldn't that be violating the Constitution via age discrimination? Only young judges would be appointed.
Elections have consequences. It's called WINNING!! :geekdanc:

Those choices are not always within their control.
Sickness, death, changes in personal circumstances, etc.

That is true, but they won't retire of their own free will.

I didn’t think Scalia was ready for retirement either...

Schumer's speech today called for putting off the nomination until Nov elections are over.
This isn't a Presidential election year. His only objective is to use the issue to drive voter turnout. Trump will still make the nomination no matter when.
Leftists are also calling for a "bi-partisan" nominee. This, from the people calling "us" Nazis and telling us to shove civility where the Sun don't shine.
I don't think so.....

Thomas Hardiman would be a good choice.

I think he should nominate the youngest female conservative judge and see the left try and tear her apart

because if Hillary won, she would consider "bipartisan" nominees and would wait until after the mid-term election to confirm

Kennedy would have died of a heart attack a week after Scalia, avoiding all this turmoil.

I hope they end up picking a real constitutional conservative.

Those were pretty stupid objections though. There was no legal or important reason that a new justice can't be picked just before an election.

That doesn't stop 3/4 of Democrats on Twitter from posting the exact same words on every semi-relevant thread. And even more believe them to be true.
If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it.

So that makes them just as stupid as Republicans?

Yeah, stupid enough to win the Presidency and both chambers of Congress.
November isn't looking much better for Democrats, either.

There have been a rulings in which the conservative judges haven't been so conservative. Most recently in the decision about tracking you through your cell phone.

Yes, Trump's pick voted against keeping your cell phone location data private without a warrant.

What is your definition of "location data?"

How about a prudent reason to give the incoming president the opportunity to shape the country as they see fit? And keep in mind, HRC was thought to be leading comfortably at that time. So why rush and try to push something through?
The conservative judges should be thankful that HRC didn't win. Saving money on additional life insurance premiums.
-
My choice of Thomas Hardiman is not one of the three finalists. Anyone know the 2A views of of three front runners, Brett Kavanaugh, Raymond Kethledge and Amy Coney Barrett?
-

It's not my definition, the case was about location data derived from cell phone tower locations. Not GPS but it would still tell a general location of your cell phone 24/7 unless it was turned off.

There was no need to rush. stalling was exactly type of political bureaucracy we always complain about.

Good luck with that! With social media, cell phones and video cameras everywhere you go, keeping your business private is like planning to put your kids through college betting on hard 12.

Looks like my choice of Thomas Hardiman might have a chance after all. Mitch McConnell sent a memo to Trump to narrow his choice to either Hardiman or Kethledge if he wants a speedy Senate confirmation. Kavanaugh has over a million pages on him to review and Barrett is anti Roe v Wade which two Republican Senators said they will not vote for her. They cannot afford to lose a single vote in order to get confirmation. Hardiman is extremely pro 2A and strongly believes in the right to carry. Kethledge is also pro 2A, but not as much as Hardiman. Kethledge is however an avid hunter.

It's hilarious how people change their opinions.
Well, really more like rationalizations than opinions. Whatever it takes to help them sleep at night.
