Trump is announcing his pick for the Supreme Court.
Can you imagine the thread after thread of outrage?
Can't help but think that those who have claimed "two wrongs don't make a right" when it comes to Trump doing what Obama did will not take the same position if the Dems in Congress choose to fillibuster because the Republicans wouldn't hold confirmation hearings. I'm sure they'll be all in favor of holding up any nomination.
Then again, the so-called nuclear option was passed by Harry Reid's Democrats. So it will be interesting if it's now used against them.

Why is it always tit for tat or finger pointing.
I believe 100% that they should have held hearings on Obama's pick, but that ship has sailed.
I believe they should hold hearings on trumps pick, but he does need to be properly vetted and go through the proper channels.

While you're sitting back waiting for people to take the bait, go take a look at the thread you started a week ago about intending to take your wise old mothers advice to dial down the constant argumentative bullshit you spout on a daily basis.

I heard on the radio he had narrowed it down to two that were judges already. But I cannot recall their names. I should research them.

add to that uproar, the firing of the stand in AG! she refused to defend the EO... he fired her. replacement picked and ready to serve until the dems confirm DT pick. get used to it. he's a different kinda guy - not a politician. he's doing what he said he'd do. notice, he hasn't blinked on the protests and other agitation by the left. Full speed ahead. go Trump! he's got a humdinger down the road a bit. that'll make ya screech! but he's got a lot of other things to do first.

I will be honest and say there's a part of me who hopes he nominates someone the religious red will hate so that all the people who threw him in our faces because of "all those Supreme Court positions" will shut up, but as I do favor a conservative judge over a loose constructionist, that desire is only half hearted.

Oh, I am sure he has one or more humdingers down the road to make us screech. But I don't believe the troll has any inside information whatsoever. Delusion loves company.

I believe the troll only reads alt-right rumours and those rumours, if implemented, will fit right into her warped beliefs.

Funny old Lauren must be losing her mind with age, as she forgets her precious little republicans threw a tantrum for over 10 months, refused to do their job and blocked, obstructed, and refused to work with the President and refused to do their jobs.
My my, tables turned.
Your mother raised a fool--based on your post after post after post tearing down others and taking digs at them and your overall hatred and meanness.
You've become a Trumpster sheeple, kool-aid spouting mouthpiece for a man who has serious issues not only in America but world wide.

If the finalists I've read are true, they are all conservative federal judges with similar ideologies to Scalia. I didn't necessarily care for Scalia's politics, but given Bannon's, I mean Trump's, current level of disrespect for the Constitution and judicial branch, I'm just happily surprised they didn't choose a Breitbart editor or the leader of the KKK.
I'll save my outrage for his various Constitutionally questionable decisions and the apparent puppeteering of Trump by Bannon, thanks.

I hope the Democratic senators prove themselves to be better than the Republican senators by giving whoever it is a fair hearing. Particularly, if it is a respected judge they have already confirmed and praised in a previous hearing like in the case of Garland.
Your post does confuse me. In some posts, you seem annoyed by the "hysteria" that you think Peas are demonstrating, but in posts like this you are predicting outrage that hasn't even happened which kind of seems like a way of encouraging it. It makes me a little hesitant to respond to the posts as I don't want to argue with anyone just for the sake of arguing. Forgive me if I am reading your comments incorrectly - this is just the impresssion I am getting.

No Terri, you're not interpreting incorrectly--she likes to take digs at the more liberal peas at every opportunity, she loves stirring the pot, and thrives on bitchiness and condescending posts.

Or have I got this wrong and one can select/appoint a non legal person as a judge and also to the supreme court? I'm asking purely out of interest.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and predict that it will be a white, conservative male. And unless it is some ridiculous pick from the KKK, I think we can call it even. Replacing a white conservative male with a white conservative male. No matter who the pick is, I think Justice Roberts is a voice of reason--so at this point, I'm not gonna get worked up.
But I'll bet you anything, in the vetting process, the nominee was asked if he will support Trump no matter what. Seems to be a theme...
And im going to agree with others that Lauren seems a little desperate to get a rise out of people. It's sad.

But there are no specific qualifications to be a Supreme Court Judge. One would assume that the POTUS would nominate someone who has judicial experience. But in the current climate that is not a given.

I personally hope that the Democrats stop any attempt to hold a hearing for the open Justice.

he's got a humdinger down the road a bit. that'll make ya screech! but he's got a lot of other things to do first. actually I do think there are bigger things coming from him. Good or bad I don't know but I think this is just the beginning and by the time we get to those bigger things, we as a nation are going to be so exhausted that we may not be able to put up a fight if a fight is necessary. I also think that sometimes people forget he is a business man, not so much a politician so he makes decisions based on that experience. Not defending or blasting him, just pointing out that his decision making process is very different than what we have seen in the White House.

I'm even more now as to how someone can legally define the specifics of a law if they have no experience of the law to be able to interpret what it means.

Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but haven't each of the SC nominees already been approved and confirmed by the dems. (and reps.) for the current seats they hold? I thought I remember hearing the dems. really shouldn't have a problem with any of them.

One would assume that the POTUS would nominate someone who has judicial experience. But in the current climate that is not a given. Maybe it'll go to one of his kids. I'm sure he can get his cronies to change whatever laws needed to make it happen. They seem to be letting him do whatever he (or, more likely, Bannon) wants. Tiffany needs a White House position, like her sibs/sib in law, but she undoubtedly ticked off her old man by being registered to vote in multiple states. Kinda made him look like a fool. (Poor Tiff, it's an easy thing to do, honey.)
