Yes he did. He suggested it because waaaaaaah the president’s job is just too hard!

No he didn’t. Quit making things up. It’s no way to win an argument.

What’s true?

How would you know, if I do or do not know if they would be true?
Absolute is a bad word to use in politics.

What that gorsush and kavanaugh are extreme right wingers.

Absolutely. Read some of their lower court opinions.

Ill go ahead and post knowing there is going to be quibbling.

Read or attend social events. But don’t be fooled. The job and the pressure never stop. We exalt and revere the presi- dency in this country—yet even so, I think we grossly underestimate how difficult the job is.

Deferral would allow the President to focus on the vital duties he was elected to perform.Congress should consider doing the same, moreover, with respect to criminal investigations and prosecutions of the President. Of course after this sniveling hack wanted to turn the Clinton hearings into a porno show.

Published list? Is it cast in stone?

Almost nothing Trump says he will (or will not) do is cast in stone.

So far he has kept to the list. Until he stops, he’s moving SCOTUS in the right direction.

But I agree … Garland would be the new Kennedy.

And that’s a huge improvement over Ginsburg.

Any motion to the right of RBG will be a win for everyone. It would be unnecessary to swing that seat too far to have a solid and fair court.

A fair court would have included Garland. Instead of Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.

Allan

Obama once said that elections have consequences. There was no mention of fair this and fair that.
So…here we are now…I have no problem with “unfair” SCOTUS.
After Trump as his turn and Democrats are in office we can take up “Fair” where ever you want.
How ever I doubt you’ll be eager to make it fair then.
Best example of the top of my head of Liberal hypocrisy is when Sen. Harry Read pulled all kinds of shenanigans and dirty tricks and Democrats raised no brow.
Like when he accused Mittens of not paying taxes which, was a lie…and he admitted it being a lie when he responded “But he lost, didn’t he?”…meaning the end justifies the means.

Both Gorsuch and Kavanaugh are two of the most right wing justices to date.

Here’s hoping for two more!!

Maybe Trump will get a chance to select someone even more to the right, and then they won’t look so far to the right? Problem solved.

One of the better qualities of Trump is the left medias inability to intimidate him. I am hoping if he has the chance that he will not try to select someone who will make the left feel loved and give them a sense of “fair”. If the Republicans held 51 seats in the Senate, that might be necessary. It is probably what Bush (Roberts) would do.
If we have to put up with Trump’s tweets, he at least needs to move the court to the right if he has a chance.

I’ll take the inch, or a foot. But yes, I’d rather have the mile.

And the extra seats in the Senate (absent the Flake!) gives a lot more leeway to reach for the mile now.

For Conservatives, how great would it be if she did retire!!!

Wow, is all I could say, because then Trump could put someone else in there!

She’s one tough lady, regardless of my political affiliation on the opposite end of the spectrum I admire her tenacity and grit.

A balanced court is good for all Americans.

Sorry a simple disagreement among citizens.

A just court is good for Americans.

Blackwolf:

Should the presidency be subject to the same testing, or is it a less important office than sitting on the SCOTUS bench?

Presidency has a term limit. In fact, even after just the first term the electorate get to give him another election ordeal.

We give senior citizens a re-test for a drivers license periodically.

Maybe judges need to be able to pass at least a roadside sobriety test. Not testing for drunkenness. Just to prove that they have the minimal capability to function as well as someone buzzed, but not drunk enough to be charged with DUI.

Good luck with your Constitutional Amendment to do all that.
