Trump says he'd move to fill Supreme Court vacancy before his first term ends
« on: August 12, 2020, 12:24:39 am »


President Trump on Tuesday said he’d move to fill a Supreme Court vacancy in the last five months of his first term if a seat opens up and that he has an unnamed prospect in mind.

“Absolutely, I’d do it. Sure,” Mr. Trump told radio host Hugh Hewitt. “If you’re talking about if something would happen now, … I would move quickly. Why not? I mean, they would. The Democrats would if they were in this position.”

He said he has an “excellent” candidate in mind, but declined to say who it was.

I don't think there is a snowball's chance of that happening.

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

They'll be an extended weekend at Bernies Ruthies before that happens.

It's a shame the Pubs in the Senate would never back him.

There has to be a vacancy first.  Silly thing for him to say.

How else should he have responded to a hypothetical question during a radio interview? 'No, I wouldn't'?

Nominating judges is part of a President's job. What the Senate does is part of their job.

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

I was going to post that.  AMY.  YES.  POTUS has a list ready.  I predict 5 Supreme Court nominated before end of both terms.

@bilo

I don't think it is just Trump. I don't think the alleged Republicans in the Senate would ever support anyone without the approval of the DNC.

That's what the #DeepState is all about.  They're on the same side and against our sovereignty.  NWO?  Globalism?  GOPe? 

Can you imagine what success we'd see if they would actually support our President? It is stunning to realize how much he has accomplished without their help.

Don't discount the possibility of one of the conservatives - say Thomas or Alito - deciding to retire.

I'd heard that. But Breyer is ten years older than either of those two.

Why don't leftists ever gracefully leave the stage?
