LOL... When Schumer is over the Senate in Trumps final year and Ruth passes, just see if they bring the new nominee to confirmation or a vote. Don't bet your house on that one.

Default No Kavanaugh, Roe vs. Wade SHOULDN'T be established precedent

What happened with Roe vs. Wade, the illegal aliens in the schools, and the Oberfeld rulings was that the Supreme Court breached the separation of powers of the US Constitution so clearly that, if Kavanugh cannot see it, then he shouldn't be on the bench.


The fifth section of the 14th Amendment says: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.



So if the Supreme Court was deciding that it was going to enforce and interpret the amendment, without any interpretation of Congress, then it was basically seizing the power of Congress and enforcing the amendment via legislation from the bench in both the cases of Roe vs. Wade and Oberfeld.


Furthermore, in the case of Roe vs. Wade, it ran roughshod over any state right to life procedures (see Section 1) and may have ran over a federal one too, so any state, technically, going along with the tyrannical Roe vs. Wade is VIOLATING the 14th Amendment.


In the case of the illegal kids must use schools, the very ruling violates the 14th Amendment in that the parents of the kids are clearly not citizens and, contrary to popular belief, since Congress was also given the power to determine rules of naturalization, if the courts decide that they are going to make the kids of illegals "citizens" or have the rights of citizens under the 14th Amendment, seizing both the power of enforcement of the 14th Amendment and the power of naturalization, then Kavanaugh would be wise to toss out that horrible tyrannical ruling as well.


If he's not willing to do that, then he shouldn't be on the bench.

I want to see consistency on the Republican side. If Republicans feel no SCJ should be elected in the fourth year under a Democratic president, then they should not be under a Republican president. Which means Trump only has about a year and a half left and no chance for more SCJ nominees after that unless he is re-elected.

You will find that out in 2020. Until then your speculating and blowing smoke.

So basically a president and the Senate must be the same party, or they will get no Supreme Court Justice nominees. It would be entertaining if Democrats take the Senate in 2020 (far more likely then) and Trump got NO Supreme Court Justice nominees the entire four years because Democrats decided to expand on the McConnell rule.

What the OP doesnt seem to understand is that the supreme court, and majority of voters on both sides, disagree. And established precedent is honored in order to avoid chaos, it should only rarely be overturned.

George Soros. You're not just figuring this out, I hope? On the plus side, it's the first time some of them have worked in their lives!

I suspect the frustration felt by the OP is a direct result that some of these judges don't agree with his legal analysis or findings.

Guess there are different view points.

Time will tell if having a Conservative leaning court will do much for the conservatives.
