I don’t care who is selected by President Trump as his next nominee for the Supreme Court of the United States of America.
No I have not lost touch with my senses.
The Supreme Court must not be filled with partisans as we have now and no one must be considered the “Swing Vote.
His main qualification must be that he will render his decisions as our founding fathers had intended through the hand of God they laid down on parchment.
Some would not speak of him in such harsh terms, and it’s questionable why “Real Jew News was needed in the image above.
It’s troubling that “Anyway the wind blows, Chief Justice John Roberts is now being called the swing vote on the bench. (Source)
Here is the way he came up with his decision. (Source)
Seriously, where did he come up with the interstate commerce clause to suggest it was a tax when all those supporting the disaster said it “WAS NOT A TAX.” (Source)
Perhaps the only lie Obama didn’t tell us about Obama Care was……….
It took the poor and down trodden to be among the first to find out that not only could they not afford the premiums, making it essentially unaffordable, but the deductibles required made them completely useless.

Because the Trump White House has done this before, it’s expected to follow the same model: Bring in the same helping hands, and ensure the process goes just as smoothly as it did last spring for Justice Neil Gorsuch.
But the political landscape is different this time around, and some Republican allies have privately expressed concerns about the president’s ability to navigate the situation.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has been battling cancer back home for months and could leave the GOP in a bind if he doesn’t make it back to Washington for a vote that is expected to take place this fall.
A slew of vulnerable Senate Democrats are facing pressure from progressives to oppose Trump’s nominee, even though a show of bipartisanship could boost them in their re-election races.
And with anti-abortion conservatives itching to undo abortion protections, at least two centrist Republican senators, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Susan Collins, R-Maine — are expected to be a tough sell on any pro-life nominee.
Do we not already have enough divisiveness and wack job facts among those who see themselves as our rulers?
“That’s not a question I’ll be asking them,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday, when pressed about Roe v Wade, a landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized access to abortion.
A source closely involved in the nomination process last year said questions about key abortion rulings were posed to candidates then and are even more likely to come up now, even if Trump isn’t the one asking them.
According to this person, the final three candidates will likely be asked to submit a questionnaire to the White House counsel’s office outlining their opinions on cases involving hot-button topics like abortion, LGBT protections, civil rights, and religious freedom — issues some Senate Democrats have already alluded to while criticizing Trump’s pool of candidates.
Trump told reporters he has already narrowed down his list of 25 possible nominees to a shortlist with four to five names, including two women and some whom he expects to meet with one-on-one at his Bedminster, N.J., golf club this weekend.
“Outside of war and peace, of course, the most important decision you make is the selection of a Supreme Court judge,” he said Friday en route to New Jersey. “I may have two of them come up, like the old days at Bedminster. It is exciting.”
The president, who intends to announce his nominee on July 9, has already met with three Senate Democrats who supported Gorsuch last April and face difficult re-election races in red states this fall.
One of the three — Indiana Sen. Joe Donnelly — said he had a “good conversation” with the president about the qualifications and judicial philosophy of potential nominees. Donnelly was joined by Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., for the Wednesday night meeting at the White House.
Once Trump selects a nominee, he or she will work with a guide, or sherpa, to set up courtesy visits with dozens of senators.
Gorsuch participated in 72 such meetings before his confirmation hearing last March, during which he was accompanied by former GOP Sen. Kelly Ayotte.
Ayotte told a local New Hampshire media outlet earlier this week she would be open to assisting Trump’s second nominee through the same process.
“I think it is an important position for the country, and I’m sure that the White House has a strong plan, having already gone through one of those confirmation processes,” she said in an interview with WMUR.
Some former White House officials and outside advisers are less convinced that Trump and his aides have a firm plan in place, following reports that the administration did not receive advance notice of Kennedy’s retirement.
“They’ve been so caught up in trade, North Korea, and recently immigration.
This was not on their radar and McGahn is overwhelmed,” a source familiar with the situation told the Washington Examiner, adding that the White House “will no doubt figure things out.”
Trump is scheduled to depart on an overseas trip to Europe a day after he announces his Supreme Court nominee, leaving much of the heavy-lifting to the White House counsel’s office, McConnell, and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.
McConnell said in a floor speech earlier this week he hopes to have the nominee confirmed by the start of the new court term on Oct. 1, just over a month before the November midterm elections.

How I would respond: wit all due disrespect, Senator,. the court decides on the constitution and the law,; the merits of the case, not your partisan demands. Go to Hell.
