[Salaadin]

Unanimous? Could you believe it?

 

[Syncytia]

So uh, about the White House statement just released they weren't touching Obama's pro LBGT EO?

Now with this pick this makes that seem like a lie.

You're surprised Trump would lie?

 

[lilojigsaw]

"i am nominating someone from the supreme court for the supreme court"

Oh really?

 

[Avixph]

So uh, about the White House statement just released they weren't touching Obama's pro LBGT EO?

Now with this pick this makes that seem like a lie.

It was always a lie.

 

[Biske]

God... Trump is such a horrible fucking speaker. This word salad.

 

[BlackGhost]

He probably has someone telling them when to clap.
Pls clap

 

[DOWN]

The Hobby Lobby judge

It was always a lie.

 

[kevin1025]

Neil M. Gorsuch gets the rose.

How long before Trump tries to fire him when Gorsuch does something Trump doesn't like?

Like most Bachelor and Bachelorettes, they won't make it to the live wedding. Gorsuch will then appear on SCOTUS Paradise.

There's little he does to fundamentally change where the court is on that issue.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

So from some of the comments in other threads, it seems he's not that horrible of a pick?

He is Scalia 2.0 so it doesn't change much. Wait till Kennedy or RBG retires and is replaced by Scalia 3.0.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Fuuuuuck this dude is only 49???

 

[Apdiddy]

"He was confirmed by an unanimous vote in the Senate -- who thought that nowadays?"

Fuck you Donald Trump.

 

[SURGEdude]

Dude is among the worst of the worst, and he's young.

Fuck Obama for not pushing Garland through when he had the chance in early January.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Columbia, Harvard, Oxford


Not too shabby lol

 

[metalslimer]

Fuuuuuck this dude is only 49???

Hell be there for the rest of my adult life. Thanks both siders

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Fuuuuuck this dude is only 49???

Yep.

Hell be there for the rest of my adult life. Thanks both siders

Nod.

Dude is among the worst of the worst, and he's young.

Fuck Obama for not pushing Garland through when he had the chance in early January.

No, fuck Republicans and fuck voters.

 

[RCSI]

So is there a lesser of two evils here?

Naw, both pretty evil.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

That woman looks drugged. Having to stand next to Trump for that long, wouldn't exactly blame her.

 

[Mr. F]

the cosmic irony citing how important education is on the same day DeVos is confirmed...

 

[link1201]

Is this the guy that went to Oxford?
Edit: Yep

At least the guy got smarts

 

[ratcliffja]

I'd rather have a strict Constitutionalist when Trump is doing lots of un-Constitutional things all the time.

 

[Seth Enosh]

So uh, about the White House statement just released they weren't touching Obama's pro LBGT EO?

Now with this pick this makes that seem like a lie.

This judge won't overturn the EO.

Even Scalia or Thomas wouldn't do anything about the EO. It's not going to go anywhere.

 

[LionPride]

He is Scalia 2.0 so it doesn't change much. Wait till Kennedy or RBG retires and is replaced by Scalia 3.0.

Yeah that's the issue. Replacing Scalia with...basically Scalia is nothing. Replacing RBG or Kennedy with another Scalia...then we got a problem

 

[guek]

This guy is Scalia 2.0

Gorsuch wrote a concurrence in the en banc 10th Circuit that sided with the company and its owners. He stressed the need to accept these parties’ own conceptions regarding the requirements of their faith, and held (among other things) that they were likely to prevail on claims that the contraception mandate in the Affordable Care Act substantially burdened their religious exercise in violation of RFRA.

Could be worse. Could be a ton better.

 

[Strimei]

So...is Gorsuch bad? I have no idea about him.

Quick look at wiki says he's a proponent of gay rights, which strikes me as good, at least.

Though it also says he may be pro-life (no surprise there).

edit: Ah, involved in the Hobby Lobby case, that answers some questions.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Fuuuuuck this dude is only 49???

Now you know why they want him.

Dems need to filibuster until the end of time.

 

[SURGEdude]

Hell be there for the rest of my adult life. Thanks both siders

People like Jimmy Dore need to be shunned and shamed.

 

[RPGCrazied]

You're surprised Trump would lie?

It was always a lie.

It was always a lie.

That's mean. Release that statement just today, then pick this tool that wants to enforce religious freedom and discriminate against gay people. Fuck off Trump.

 

[Syncytia]

"He was confirmed by an unanimous vote in the Senate -- who thought that nowadays?"

Fuck you Donald Trump.

10 fucking years ago lol

 

[Goodstyle]

Fuuuuuck this dude is only 49???

Big reason why we needed to win this election. We failed.

 

[Kurdel]

Wow, asking Dems with GOP to unite "for once" fuck off

 

[Bucca]

this motherfucker really just say "I hope democrats and republicans can come together for once for the good of our country"?????


FUCKING

 

[Aurongel]

Dude is among the worst of the worst, and he's young.

Fuck Obama for not pushing Garland through when he had the chance in early January.

What?

Are you missing the fact that the Senate wouldn't even hold a hearing for Garland? Obama knew they'd strong arm him in the hopes they'd win the election.

By that metric, they won the bet.

 

[toddhunter]

So basically womens rights and protection of gay rights is now gone from large parts of America, all because "religious freedom".

Maybe the "being an aethiest is not a religion" people should change tactics? Yes it is a religion, protect our views and give us money!

 

[kevin1025]

Oh wow, Trump is letting someone else speak. It must be backwards day.

 

[NyMartin90]

Our GLORIOUS Nation

 

[Ogodei]

RBG dies and the court is permafucked until the 2050s. Dems will have to resort to court-packing to be able to govern even if they recapture government.

 

[Omadahl]

So filibuster until the end times? I still wish Obama had appointed Garland when they were out of session. I know it's against his character but he would have bought us some time.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

Excellent pick. Preferred Gorsuch over Pryor and the others.

 

[Beartruck]

Both are terrible but Gorsuch seems a little less terrible if he's to be Scalia 2.0. Seems like there's a lot of grey area there.

Pretty much. As long as its not the nutjob from Alabama they were considering that was going to overturn Roe vs Wade (Pryor).

 

[Syncytia]

That's mean. Release that statement just today, then pick this tool that wants to enforce religious freedom and discriminate against gay people. Fuck off Trump.

That's mean? It's god damned mother fucking compulsive liar shit head Trump.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Excellent pick. Preferred Gorsuch over Pryor and the others.

I also preferred him over Pryor

 

[kevin1025]

Trump's posture is so embarrassing. He's like a tall penguin. And he's looking the guy up and down in a real shady way.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

I'd rather have a strict Constitutionalist when Trump is doing lots of un-Constitutional things all the time.

Yah about that. It doesn't mean what you think it does.

 

[metalslimer]

I'd rather have a strict Constitutionalist when Trump is doing lots of un-Constitutional things all the time.

Lol Scalias ideas went out the window to suit his political beliefs

 

[RDreamer]

Scalia 2.0 for the next 3-4 decades makes me ill.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

Excellent pick. Preferred Gorsuch over Pryor and the others.

Mind telling us why you like him and what you agree with him on?

 

[SURGEdude]

What?

Are you missing the fact that the Senate wouldn't even hold a hearing for Garland? Obama knew they'd strong arm him in the hopes they'd win the election.

By that metric, they won the bet.

He could have done a recess appointment in early January. It would have been taken to court, but he would have won.

 

[Ac30]

Well, if the Republicans nuke the filibuster (which they will), then the next President will have many a seat to fill, probably. Let's make sure it's not Trump, hmm?
