    That's funny, I thought the Supreme Court was designed by the Founding Fathers to be above politics and now you are recommending it become another Sondergericht, very unConstitutional of you

    I'm saying we need to fill the court with judges that look to the constitution instead of their heart to decide cases.

    Or 9 pm in the east is 6 pm in the west. That gives his support base time to get home from work to see his pick. But hey, what fun is simplicity when you can overanalyze to the extreme?

    Nominating judges that will follow the Constitution is not political.

    Try to keep up.

    I'm excited, and I'm glad he's waiting for the whole country to be home from work and settled in to watch the announcement. It's better to watch him announce it than to get the highlights from NBC or CNN.

    I thought the left valued women in power. I guess that's only if the woman follows their viewpoint. No bigotry there.

    My inclination is that Trump nominates Amy Barrett. She has all the qualifications, and presents the greatest threat to Dems. Not perhaps because of her potential rulings when confirmed, but for the way that Barrett will force Dems to sully themselves in the process. They'll be called out for misogyny and religious intolerance on a grand scale. Great prelude to mid-terms, and a solidly originalist SCOTUS.

    No, Fresh, they were not center of the isle. Gorsuch hasn't followed Trump to a tee because Trump picked someone who was fair and not politically biased, as he'll do again tonight.

    Interesting how he feels the need to do it in prime time, then again, it is not like him to miss an opportunity to make it all about him, watch to see how many time in the preface introduction he inserts the pronoun "I"

    It is a simple announcement, done and finished in ten minutes, everyone in America knows he is going to nominate a conservative judge, the only thing that separates the lot is one is a women, it is a nonevent, usually such affairs are done more nonchalantly respecting the significance of the position.

    You got to be kidding? "Fair and not politically biased," you are aware that Trump outsourced screening the candidates to the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation? Are you going to tell us now those groups are "not politically biased?"

    They are all hard line conservatives, as I noted, the only thing that separates them is that one is a women

    Definitely... To the left, everyone is a sexist and racist except for them.

    Guess you thought wrong, well, at least what you thought the "left" actually values, but that isn't all that surprising

    Actually it's not gonna be all about him at all, it's gonna be all about the new SC Judge.

    As far as saying "I" time and again, I don't care how much he says it as long as he continues to make this country flourish with patriotism, a booming economy, and jobs again.

    Their all the same, she is the "leaked" choice, but it matters little, just the process will give Democrats the issue of abortion heading into the November elections, and I'd hate to be that Republican Congressperson from a swing district having to defend eliminating abortion in the United States

    I doubt he thought it thru, or maybe its just a lack of education in civics.

    Well, announcing a Supreme Court nominee takes about three minutes, you won't even finish your popcorn by the time the show ends, then again, as I said it is Trump, he'll find plenty of things to say about himself to fill the whole presentation

    And his only role in "making the country flourish" is not blowing the building economy he inherited from Obama, but he has plenty of time yet to do that, trade wars would be good start

    They might be Conservatives, but they don't let politics get in their way of ruling. It was ok when it was split one way or the other back when democrats weren't at the peak of corruption and all Judges ruled constitutionally.

    We've gone back and forth on gay marriage for years now, and it was never in the Constitution, therefore it never should have been enforced by the Supreme Court. There are other ways to go about such decisions.

    Do you think the Supreme Court is going to go back on same sex marriage or abortion?

    The hypocrisy screams at us. If you care about life, you would care about education and healthcare..
