I think a prominent Russian jurist would be a nice nomination.

I think it's going to be Kavanaugh.

I’ll say Kavanaugh because agree with his politics or not he’s unquestionably qualified for the position. Barrett is not and is probably the only person that could be nominated that might actually not pass.

We'll ALL know a lot more after the knock-down drag out hearings that are going to take place.

I guarantee the Oppo research on every one of these possibilities has been going on for months.

And if it's Barrett, Feinstein has already shown her religious bigotry. Which ia actually rather odd coming from a Jewish person.

You'd think she'd be a little more careful about stuff like that...

How about Michael Cohen?

Heck, Dirtbin already stated that Party is more important than the election of Red state Demoncraps. How bias can you be with a statement like that. And get this, Trump hasn't EVEN ANNOUNCED who it is. If that doesn't show the true colors of the Demons then I don't know what does.

"Obstruct!"
"Obstruct whom?"
"Um, I don't care, just obstruct, dammit. Don't ask stupid questions".

I wonder how that statement went through Monkchin and the other Red state Demons. I wonder if it will provoke them to say, "screw you Dirtbin, you're not the one running for office in a Red state, I'm voting 'For' just to P's you off".

I picked Barrett as who it should be, not necessarily who it will be, because that would put democrats in a bind.

BIPARTISAN FIX

Anyone that’s picked is going to be way right, traditionalist, and be supportive of overturning Roe vs Wade and Obergefell. That all just falls under “elections have consequences.” Barrett though is just completely unqualified for the job. I have no clue if she’s any more or less out there to the right than any of the others, I just know no one with her resume should ever be on the Supreme Court. I guess I’d prefer to pretend to be nominated to the highest court in the land you’d have to have some level of judcial experience.

Oh, and Kagan was a mid-term nominee too. Wow, imagine that, there's hypocrisy from the Demons.

respectfully, your opinion doesn't matter ...

ONE FOR ALL

cryin' chuck taking the podium to do what he does best -- cry; cry about the Heritage Foundation and "the list".

Sorry, bro. It was a losing argument in 2016, and it's still a losing argument now. Elections have consequences. There's nothing you can say or do.

So you opposed Kagan? Any links to your posts expressing such opposition?

Hypocrisy from a political party? Come on no way! I find it funny that the right loves to scream about “activist judges” overturning precident and making up the law out of thin air when Gorsuch has made it clear he wants to overturn Chevron Defecerence which would be about as activist as you could possibly get.

The reality of "qualified" or "unqualified" for a government office was completely turned on it's head by the election of Obama, then Trump so why is the appointment of a Supreme Court Justice any different?

Americans are TIRED of the Washington establishment. A traffic court judge from flyover country is preferable to some swampy insider with all the right cocktail invites.

Like Rehnquist, who was Chief Justice for 19 years? Not one bit of bench experience prior to being named to the Supreme Court.

More importantly, why would sitting and hearing cases in a lower court be a necessity?

I would think having a sharp legal mind, being able to synthesize information, and understanding the Constitution would be the most important qualifications.
