Yes, we need a plumber on the Supreme Court.
Good grief.
they don’t even have to argue a case. They need do almost nothing.
Ok, so you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. Thought so, thanks for confirming it for me.
clerks, buddy. they have clerks.
I wonder how many of those ever showed up to the Halloween party as Jay and Silent Bob?
the dude doesn’t even know how tariffs affect things. i would expect that he doesn’t know how the SC works.
SCOTUS justices read, ask questions, and then give you their opinion. Sotomayor proved that you can put anything in writing regardless of its constitutional relevance.
Anyone can do the job.
I don’t care about perception. If the person is a proven qualified constitutionalist then put them on the bench.
However, if they’re like Ginsburg who openly stated she uses world court opinions and world opinion in her rulings then no. They should be stripped of their ability to practice law period.

That should be international law. I had a brain cramp. Ginsburg uses international law.

The Supreme court is about the Law & the Constitution. Politics is the bailiwick of Congress.
Should Trump appoint a non-white male to the Supreme Court? If you think like a dem or liberal or a compromised Republican (in name only,) then you may think that Mr. Trump should appoint a black male as the next supreme court justice. If you haven’t been living under a rock or in denial of the facts in evidence regarding the state of the nation, then you understand that the Constitution and the very sovereignty of our country are at great risk. The American people are in danger of losing it all. Every illegal alien, every open border advocate, every Antifa or BLM protestor, every socialist like Bernie Sanders, every subversive group like the muslim brotherhood, the communist party and members of secret organizations formed to overthrow the sitting president, are engaged in trying to literally destroy America. Even though the supreme court was tarnished and corrupted by obama, and even though the supreme court destroyed its reputation with the ACA decision and even though the supreme court overstepped its authority when it passed the marriage law, (American law originates in the legislative branch, not the judicial branch) and even though the supreme court has not acted to correct it corrupt decisions, it should make no difference who is in there. Black or White. Male or Female. The only qualification is that a supreme is a Patriot. Loyal to the American people 1st. A supreme should be incorruptible protectors of the Constitution, as written. None of them should be in there for life. Why? Because every institution in our government has been corrupted by the former administration and “special interests.” And the American people are tired of this cronyism. The old boy network. The SES bobby trap. These appointees and elected officials will only fear the people when the people can control them. Term limits. Watchdog committees. Accountability ratings. These people should be impelled to act lawfully and Constitutionally no matter what their color or gender is. O,r face the full weight of punishment from the law that they craft. The President will appoint a faithful steward of the Constitution, no matter what his or her color is. The supreme court will only get its integrity back if it confesses its complicity in the crimes of the obama administration, for starters, defends the Constitution, as it promised to do and reverses its corrupt decisions. The illusion of justice that these people put forward is no longer viable. If the supreme court continues to push the globalists agenda, they must be arrested immediately after they render such a decision, the decision vacated and the Constitution upheld.
tl;dr…

Don’t look now but…your weakness is showing. 
I want someone that has full understanding of the laws and it’s proper place within our Constitution, someone that is more libertarians side that won’t base his vote on motions but with full knowledge of original intent.
Now having said that it would be funny if RBG had retired and Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett to replace her…that would have been a hoot to watch libs reaction. That alone would be justifiable for the pick.
It is not necessary to make a choice between a quality candidate (education and experience) and a quality candidate (judicial philosophy). We can have both.
Antonin Scalia was a Georgetown undergraduate and Harvard Law graduate.
Thomas was a Yale Law graduate.
Both had exceptional career backgrounds AND judicial philosophy.
Potential candidate Don Willett, who has a libertarian streak, is a Baylor undergraduate and Duke Law graduate, holding not only the standard Juris Doctor, but the advanced law degree of Master of Laws. His career is exception in variety and scope. With him you get both a quality candidate AND the desired judicial philosophy.
Plenty of qualified candidates of the desired judicial philosophy. Getting a desired judicial philosophy in no way means sacrificing quality.

You’re inadvertently making the argument for being even more careful about how we select justices.

just stop. I expressed a whimsical desire to have the common man represented by a common man on the bench. No way that a Senate with half its members being lawyers is going to let that happen.
But my point is still valid. Do you have an opinion on any SCOTUS case? Bingo… . that is all any SCOTUS justice needs to deliver. They can write nonsense like Sotomayor did. They can disagree with any or all other justices. There is no success or failure in their business.
