Westside Steve Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 So I realize some of you are Democrats, Trump haters or just general malcontent but I'm curious as to what will be the basis of the opposition to the Supreme Court nomination here? Is there anything of substance or are you just mad about Merrick Garland? WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadbrownsfan Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 I don't think the dems have much choice, but that being said, they should pull out any thing to delay it they can. What the republicans did last year, and it was a year ago, to prevent an up or down vote on Garland was horrible representation of what our political system has become. So if they drag it out an extra week or so that would be ok with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You better believe the opposite would have occurred with a Republican prez.

Garland went 300+ days without a hearing. Even your article says it, there is a precedent for rejecting, not a precedent for just not having a hearing in a reasonable amount of time.

WSS It's a shame that a Supreme Court Justice nominee turns into a political circus, no matter what side of the aisle you lean toward. They are supposed to uphold the law of the land, not uphold the wishes of a political party. I'm an American first. I wish our elected folks would realize that as well.

Stuart And that's what conservative judges do duh....uphold the law of the land, which in turn is not what liberal judges do. Open your eyes...did you not hear about the recent ruling from that scumbag judge in Hawaii? These liberal fuckers legislate from the bench. Upholding the law of the land to liberals is outdated, the Constitution is outdated, the Founding Fathers are outdated. Put the "conservative' label on Gorsuch if you like but there shouldn't be a label if all judges adhered to upholding the law of the land. Its only because of liberal judges that we label a judge "conservative". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because help wasnt coming soon that night he drove himself to the gas station. The issue of whether he was freezing or not didnt seem to be part of gorsuchs dissent. What gorsuch argued was that it was irrelevant the company still had the right to fire him despite clear circumstances pointing to faulty equipment beyond the drivers control.

OldBrownsFan Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Great News. If the dems are dumb enough to fillibuster a more than qualified supreme court justice in Gorsuch then change the senate rules like Harry Reid did and confirm supreme court nominees with a simple majority and while on Trump's watch hopefully he will have an opportunity to get a few more in place.
