None of your claims about anything have held water, Waldo. I'm beginning to wonder if you're actually the POTUS himself. He hasn't saved us a penny on Air Force One, no attendance records were broken at his self worship services, Obama did not wiretap Trump Tower, illegal voters did not cause Trump to lose the popular vote, Trump hasn't followed through on any of his promises, and what other claims are you unable to prove? It would fill a book. Type MAGA thousands of times if you want, Trump is nothing but a lazy Tweeting slacker who is an embarrassment to our country.

Wow, sorry.... but as a democrat I highly respected Reagan. Trump on the other hand is a narcissistic nut who doesn't deserve any respect. It's really shameful that you would even put Trump into Reagan's category.

Ha! I really don't like Trump but this is why I voted for him, so we could get conservative judges. I hope he picks someone ultra conservative and someone young.

Dems knew how important the Supreme Court Nomination was, so it begs the question, why didn't Hillary try harder?

Well, I'm not a left or right winger, per se.

I would like for ALL people's voices to be heard, but when people want things like discrimination against other Americans or for other Americans not to have the same civil rights they enjoy, I have ZERO sympathy for them and, frankly, most Americans aren't interested in that crap.

4) Prayer returned to schools, likely dependent on whatever faith the state chose as the state religion
5) Lawrence vs Texas overturned (homosexuality recriminalized), Russia-style anti-gay law will be passed soon after
6) Non-discrimination laws pertaining to race and gender overturned
And once they're gone, we'll see these things return and never speak of this dark time again.

I really do believe that. I hate it for the people who have to suffer for their rigid lack of empathy and consideration right now, though.

Well, my experience watching people wind up on the SCOTUS is that they say what they need to get that lifetime appointment, then they do whatever they want to interpret the Constitution. Since the SCOTUS is a huge part of the checks and balances system, I'm fine with them being a little conservative, a little liberal, and a little moderate. The balance there is nice.

They are ultimately not beholden to any president, nor should they be.

Thank goodness. I was wondering how long it would be before we discussed something completely irrelevant to the topic at hand.

Thing is, the judges ALL fight for ALL the amendments. If your sole reason for voting for Trump was for gun rights, that's a bit odd.

I don't really think guns are getting banned or anything crazy like that. The NRA are fearmongers.

They never guaranteed admission, even by the party in charge. Picks have to be smart. That's what got us Gorsuch.

He's a good choice. I'm not dissatisfied with him at all.

Nice replacement for Scalia.

Congress will generally look to keep a balanced court. As crazy as I think some of them are, they're not trying to ruin the country entirely with a lifelong appointment that will go against the will of so many voters.
