SCOTUS News - Kennedy Reported to be Retiring

Let the war begin. This is going to be a bare - knuckled brawl of a confirmation. I suspect the Dems are going to pull out every weapon in their arsenal.

RESIST!!

After the stunt McConnell played in 2016, he richly deserves a heated confirmation battle.

After the Garland episode...if I held a Senate seat I would never vote to confirm a SCOTUS nomination made by any Republican President.

You should cut back on your sugar intake, Whell.

LOL. Yeah, right.

You KNOW there will be some fireworks with this one, and for those of us who enjoy a little political theater, it'll be interesting to watch.

Fine. Don't take it from me. You can take it from the Crackpot News Network:

https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/27/polit...res/index.html

The nomination battle will likely ignite a firestorm on Capitol Hill as it comes just a year after Republicans changed the rules of the senate in order to push through the nomination of Justice Neil Gorsuch, Trump's first nominee.

RESIST!

I'm starting to believe these guys on this board when they call you a dimwit or a nitwit or even a halfwit, Mike. It's like that Trump-Ade you're drinking shaves off a couple of dozen points off your I.Q. at least.

He believes the Wingnut Echo Chamber lies without hesitation and is baffled that nobody here is equally willing to believe their counterfactual drivel. Limbaugh is a master at having the rubes believe that they're a special group being made privy to some deeply insightful stuff, most of which is "alternative facts."
