2020 SCOTUS Nomination...

[Kutnupe14]

This "fake" conservative 5-4 majority seems to have been in place, at least to my memory, since Warren Rudman tricked the stupid, cowardly George HW Bush into nominating David Souter.

It has finally taken a 6-3 court to actually deliver 5-4 (*presumed - yet to demonstrated).

Nobody ever did a worse job nominating SCOTUS justices than Republicans. I mean nobody. Man, did they ever suck.

This is Trump's Presidential legacy. His administration has been worth it...in other ways as well, but certainly in this.

I sure hope Amy Barrett doesn't turn out to be a schmuck.

I am interested to see how Barrett votes. I’m not opposed to her. So if she good, I have no problem with it. If she goes off the rails and has a hand in striking down Roe, I’d expect there to be a serious effort to pack the court. I’m still undecided if that would be a deal breaker for me.

If I recall correctly, during hearings she had no intent of reversing "super precedents."
She listed Roe v Wade as a super precedent.

Who knows just how the "science" could go though?

What with modern day equipment, maybe one day soon they'll have some kind of contraption to put on a mother's belly to show the baby moving around inside?

How could Roe be legit when we actually get to having something like that?

thank goodness we had justices who felt differently throughout history. I'd Dred the thought of some miscarriages of justice to be allowed to stand

I think I win the pun game for today

I wonder if Trump learned a thing or two from Putin and made sure Ginsburg was put down in time to replace her?

Now to find some links to support my conspiracy theory!


That's how it's done, right?

No. But I've fixed it for you.

since Warren Rudman tricked the stupid, cowardly George HW Bush into nominating David Souter.

At this point I'm not so sure 41 was tricked.

 

[foszoe]

No. But I've fixed it for you.

Wow I knew he spoke to Putin as a head of state ofen enough. I had no idea he kept in touch with Hillary?

Can I cite you in my expose book coming next year? I accept anonymous sources.

Who is the next judge to Go?

I've heard Clarence Thomas may be next. What do y'all think is the best case scenario if Trump wins a second term?

 

[hoosierdoc]

Breyer out, Clarence Thomas resigns beginning of 7th year

 

[SwikLS]

btw Thomas is the de facto Chief Justice right now, and he will be swaying the court on election decisions in the next few weeks against Biden. now thats what you call justice. not to mention all the other cases that will coming down the pike in the next few years.

and for Thomas probably the number #1 issue for him is this shopping around the country to find the right judge that will rule in your favor. he really wants to nuke that I think.

Is Kutnupe saying Dred Scott shouls have stood even though it was bad law but becauae it was precedent?

It doesn't take speaking to someone to learn from them. Now if he is truly understanding her lessons, he has a lot of ground to make up in corruption, paying for conspirators to undermine opponents, selecting targets in the way of his power (ex: Pelosi), theft on a national-level from the poor (Haiti), carpetbagging and all those other skills that Democrats have been voting for in these last two presidential elections.

Now maybe we can get some gun bills in front of SCOTUS. Roberts can keep getting invited to parties and we're still 5-4.

It’s the parties. And maybe a little plane trip on the Lolita express he’d rather people not talk about.

Lighten up, Ferguson. Don’t be such a Plessy!

Actually she did not. She said super precedents were ones where the vast majority of Americans agreed with the decision. That was not true of Roe.

She never gave any indication that she would overturn it either.

I don't really think that is going to even come up. Where you might get wins from the anti side is on the newer smaller cases. There could very well be an end to everything getting ruled in favor of the pro-a view.

Thank you, that was my recollection also.

In my years of court watching I have never even seen a "conservative" nominated, including Bork. They all were originalists and textualists and the left identifies them as conservative.

The left nomiates jurists that believe the constitution "grows" as we make progress as a society, in that growth they find penumbras that they say support their decisions, though no text actually exists to support that contention.


Once a justice makes it they have a lifetime appointment and can be themselves, not under anyone. It is a fact of human nature that humans often get softer and reflective the nearer they get to the end of life. I hope this trend of younger justices doesn't give them longer to become liberal...

Thomas. Though he has expressed a desire to retire.

The exception that proves the rule. LOL
