Dems Latest Scheme: ‘Balance’ Supreme Court by Adding Two Liberal Judges

Rofl! Interesting take, especially when we hear from Dems that Obamacare was really a GOP plan because the Heritage Foundation once advocated something similar.

 

As the messiah of the Democrat party once said:
“Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won.” – President Obama to House Republican Whip Eric Cantor, January 23, 2009.

If the Democrats had not offered the worst candidate in the world and she hadn't taken it for granted that her "blue wall" was infallible, and hadn't been caught rigging the election with the DNC and CNN then maybe she would have won. You guys just don't learn.

 

The first two nominees were confirmed without obstruction from the republican party. Why such is so difficult for so many to actually remember, it is not known.

 

15th Amendment secures our RIGHT to vote.

 

As Cocaine Mitch gets 15 more lower court judges confirmed the Democrats are now pimping a scheme that's as old as FDR to pack the courts with Leftist hacks-in-black.

McConnell Rams Through 15 More Federal Judges

 

15 more republican appointees on the federal judiciary? That's wonderful news!! Thank you so much for posting!!

 

Cocaine Mitch, Delivers!

In exchange for mass confirmation, McConnell agreed to put the Senate into recess allowing vulnerable Dem Senators to return home to campaign.


Fresh off his victory in confirming Brett Kavanaugh, Mitch McConnell forced stalling Democrats to agree to 15 more federal judicial confirmations in exchange for putting the Senate in recess so vulnerable Democrats could return home to campaign.

By the end of Thursday, McConnell and President Donald Trump will have confirmed 84 judges over the past two years, including two Supreme Court nominees.

If there's an election, sure.
Your state does not have to hold an election to seat its electors.

 

I don't hate Joe Biden. Overall, I like him as a person and as a politician. He's a good man; he has a heart. But I don't agree with EVERYTHING Biden says. I don't agree with EVERYTHING anyone says.

 

I think the truth is demonstrated in your post. . .that we're far more alike than different, and we should focus on our common ground far more and our differences far less. We don't need the warfare.

 

Well, considering the quality of your last candidate and his personality traits so overwhelming from the Oval Office now, I'd say your side wasn't any better at picking quality leadership than ours. Actually, considering our present predicament, I'd say your side was far worse at it. You've succeeded in giving us the WORST President in U.S. history. I wouldn't draw attention to myself by bragging about him. That would make you look like you share his values--or lack thereof. And that wouldn't enhance anyone's popularity.

 

Did you express your displeasure with Uncle Joe when he presented his idea?

 

He won and spent less than a quarter of what Clinton did. I share his political agenda. I don't care that he eats Big Macs or if his hair is fake or not. I like what he's been able to do to wipe out the executive over reach of Obama. I also like that a good portion of the left is breathlessly enamored with criticizing idiotic stuff like what shoes Melania wears when she boards AF1. I would argue that he is the worst president to ever be elected for the Democrats, making him the best president ever elected for the Republicans.


"The Trump administration’s often overlooked list of achievements has surpassed those of former President Ronald Reagan at this time and more than doubled since the last tally of accomplishments after his first year in office, giving President Trump a solid platform to run for re-election on.

As Trump nears the two-year mark of his historic election and conducts political rallies around the country, during which he talks up his wins in hopes it will energize Republican voters, the administration has counted up 289 accomplishments in 18 categories, capped by the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court."

I guess the way the last was handled made a great impression on the public mind & the system itself. That change impacted the process in ways that will reverberate across America for generations--but NOT in a good way.

 

I wasn't aware of the statement until several years later, after the impact of McConnell actually acting on the idea forced me to recognize the ramifications to the process & the political system. As a liberal, I'm disappointed and concerned when conservatives place a new judge or justice on the bench, but as an AMERICAN, I want the system to function smoothly, and the Constitution to be honored & adhered to. I'm an American more than I'm a liberal. I hope you conservatives feel the same.

 

Indeed - the Democrats should be ashamed of themselves.

 

no it doesn't
all it does is proclaim you cant use ones race for a reason to be allowed to vote

 

How was the Constitution not honored and adhered to? Nothing in the Constitution requires the Senate to act on a nomination. In fact, it's not totally uncommon, hence why Presidents have had to use the recess appointment process to fill spots that the Senate didn't act on.

 

1. First, I don't care that he spent <1/3 of what Hillary spent, and won. I don't measure everything I value in life with a dollar sign. Second, I DON'T agree with Trump's agenda. In fact, I have found only one thing he's said that I agree with--that we should return & establish a base on the Moon. I disagree with everything else he stand for. Thirdly, I couldn't care less about what Melania wears--period. You may think Trump is the best President ever elected by Republicans, but I feel Lincoln was. Lincoln wanted to bring Americans together--in spite of the war. Trump thrives on tearing us apart. He enjoys it. That's not only bad for Democrats, that's bad for the nation.
2. Your commentary on Trump's massive accomplishments sounds hollow & without substance. What achievements are your referring to?
3. What 289 accomplishments in 18 categories are you talking about? For conservatives, getting Kavanaugh in as justice was perhaps an accomplishment, though the methods they used doing it was destructive to the process. Other than that, I know of no significant accomplishments of the Trump administration. Do you?

 

How so?

 

That I can agree with. Unfortunately, because of the current division and tit-for-tat politics, I don't see it happening any time soon. Like you've just done, I can admit when my side is engaging in these tactics. Both sides do it, and the "outrage" over it by informed people is disingenuous. The biggest problem? Most people AREN'T well-informed, and fall victim to believing these things heart and soul depending on which side their personal inclinations happen to favor. So these tactics have to be answered in kind, and the war rages on.

 

Lincoln had to kick the Democrats in the ass to get them to do the right thing.
I agree with his agenda. He has backed that agenda with actions. I don't care what "you" care about or don't care about in the big picture of things. You are one person in millions that are in the Democrat party or are liberal. I observe what they and the mainstream media arm of the left does.
I linked an article with all of his accomplishments. Question already asked and answered.

 

I agree with your entire post except your last sentence, which seems to endorse the continuation of that "tit or tat" you pointed out so nicely. Someone sometime must have the integrity to step away from that mindless behavior and take action they know is better for the country regardless of how others feel about it, and do so without arousing the anger and ire of opponents. Or, if that's impossible, just be independent enough, and strong enough to avoid getting sucked up into that tit for tat exchange again. I hope someone steps up for this soon. I'd respect that someone regardless which side he or she comes from.

 

Their shenanigans during the Kavanaugh confirmation. Embarrassing.
I mean, I understand their desperation, but jeepers, have some respect for yourselves.

 

I wish I could agree with you, but it's going to take a lot more than "someONE". It would take a large group of congresspersons, from each side, to try to take things in a new, hopefully more bipartisan direction. Problem is, the Congress reflects the electorate. It really is close to 50/50, plus or minus a percentage point or two either way. And at this point, each side feels that the stakes are too high. The GOP and supporters (myself included) were adamantly opposed to the way President Obama wanted to take the country. So you got Obamacare rammed down 1/2 of the country's throat, and 2010 trouncing of the Dem congress happened. Then you had obstruction, which is what the GOPers were elected to do. And then you had the Dems actually change the rules in an attempt to get around the obstruction roadblock. All of these things led to Trump, and then the situation was reversed. The Dems were adamantly opposed to Trump and the way he wanted to take the country. And the GOP doubled down on what the Dems had done with the rules changes.The only difference I see (and it could be my personal bias shows here) is that I have more respect for the GOP for changing the political direction via voting in their candidates and via the system and the rules than I have for the DEMS and their social unrest and disruption, and personal attacks, and for some, seemingly advocating violence and unrest. The Kavanaugh debacle was a new low. So on it goes. At this point, there are moderate adults on each side, but the extremism keeps escalating, so while we agree with your proposal in theory, at this point we're looking at the other side and saying "You first".
