Oil depletion allowances, dirt-cheap grazing rights on millions of federal acres, mining claim rights on almost anybody's land who's in your way,highways built whose costs aren't close to be being covered by low fuel taxes, patent laws protecting aspirin-repackagers, television and radio frequencies for free to monopolies that sell advertising, and taxpayer funded bailouts to key banks when it all gets to be too much for "free marketers." Oh, and food stamps to move cheap subsidized food commodities in the supermarkets and federally supported crop prices and mandates to use corn based alcohol for fuel. Also, thousands of private airports maintained for only private planes (do you have one?) adding billions of dollars to every ticket sold on common carrier airlines that use only 146 airports in the US. Let me see, what else am I forgetting? About 67 bucks a week to an unwed, uneducated mother who couldn't find an abortion at the right time so that she and her kids can half-starve and grow up to do it all over again. THAT'S what's breaking us.
No, those aren't freebies, that's just freedom. Big difference.
THat's completely false. We want a reasonable Supreme Court justice, not another far left judge who will legislate from the bench. You have no problem with Sotomayor who supported allowing firefighters who failed the test to get the job over qualified white firefighters simply for affirmative action purposes? She also said that her Hispanic race should be a factor in why she should be chosen!
Or Elena Kagan who is clearly biased in favor of the gay movement and who was so radical as to ban the military from the Harvard campus? If Obama appointed a moderate like John Roberts, PERHAPS you might have a point, though Roberts himself is a liberal who supported Obamacare twice and also supported gay marriage. So much is at stake here, including the jobs that will be lost if the EPA is not reigned in (one of Scalia's last cases was where the Court struck down an EPA mandate that would have destroyed tens of thousands of jobs here in Appalachia) , our gun rights, and the lives of millions of unborn children that Planned Parenthood will potentially end if they are not kept in check.
As if Scalia's Catholic faith didn't highly inform his judgments?
PUH-LEASE.
Go cry somewhere else.
This is a lose-lose for the GOP. There's no way to come out ahead. Block the nomination and lose the election in November, pass the nomination and lose a conservative justice.
It's likely the Grand Obstructionist Party's actions will motivate a great number of people who hadn't planned to vote to reconsider and vote against their decision to refuse to perform their Constitutional duty and honestly consider any choice.
I assume you are talking about Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and their dim party.
Do we want another Sonia Sotomayor? Some might, but many don't. I agree with you tho, this topic shouldn't be what makes someone vote. You can protest the choices with a write in vote, or vote for an independent. Ross Perot cost Bush I an election.
Totally true. Bubba got 43% of the vote ... same as Hitler got. I hope Bernie goes independent (like his party listing is). It will show the exact composition of the dim party.
What many "believe" means nothing when their are exit polls and you can google Perot's platform and see it in no way aligns with Bush.
Perot took a beating from both sides and the media trashed him with lies upon lies.. just like Trump today. That is what happens when you are truthful about the corruption, the American people are forgotten and jobs go over seas.. now we have an invasion of illegals taking welfare benefits, and jobs..
Obama spent millions on getting lawyers for the illegals.. how crazy is this?

If you want a reasonable Supreme Court justice, then you want somebody 180 degrees from Scalia.
But I'm guessing what you say you want and what you want are two completely different things. I think you'll be sad that 75 year old white men aren't considered Supreme Court justice candidates.
Gun rights? How about some more gun laws, please?! Like outlawing automatics for starters. .
Comments like this is why I started this thread on my intent to do my part to prevent a progressive tow the line judge from getting the job. Take note at the comment "for starters".
After they go for the "autos" thy will move on to these in the video...........
Or that much free time in the middle of the day...
Yep.
-Too busy working
-Operating in fact-based reality, thus no need to have talking heads spew the day's fictional nonsense and conspiracy theory nuttery at me all day

Isn't that pretty much always the case?
The right loves to rant and scream and gnash their teeth about activist judges and the constitution, but what they really want, as they demonstrate on a daily basis, is a right wing activist judge who will gleefully trample on the rights of people they hate while ensuring that they personally get to do whatever they want.
