2020 Presidential Race

[nuclearjunky]

Yep. To 15. Five appointed by Republican presidents, five appointed by Democratic presidents. The other five are appointed by unanimous agreement among the 10 appointed Justices.

What happens when a judge dies or retires during them term of a president who isn’t a member of the party that nominated said judge?

Judges are not supposed to be partisan.

McConnell should have thought about that before he did what he did.

Judicial partisanship started because of McConnell???

 

[zeppelin128]

Wouldn’t this change require a constitutional amendment?

Like McDad said, yep. Which means it will never happen.

 

[zeppelin128]

Judicial partisanship started because of McConnell???

Yeah. He avoided allowing a vote on a perfectly bipartisan, decent dude. He started this **** storm. He will feel it soon enough.

Go ask Pete, I don't know. I'm just saying it is an interesting idea.

Check with Robert Bork on when the sh!tshow started.

Pete's full interview with the Washington Post from last night. Knocked it out of the park, again.

I think someone has a crush on Gayor Pete.

 

[McDad]

It started way before The Chinless Chimp did anything. Get woke to the decades of politics before your birth.

Who that?

 

[1972 Grad]

Your side probably shouldn't have smothered Scalia with a pillow.

 

[McDad]

Who that?

I may need to use the techniques learned in a book im reading.

A suitable dude to run the country? Yep, I've got a crush Better than falling in Lord Red Hat's cult.

 

[1972 Grad]

Who that?

Google him and how he was savaged in the hearings 30 years ago or so. Some of us haven't forgotten. F*** the f*****g Democrats and the f*****g horse they rode in on.

Seems to me he needed to get left in the 80s.

Wouldn’t this change require a constitutional amendment?

It only takes a senate supermajority to change the number of Supreme Court Justices. The constitutional amendment would come in with who gets to pick them.

I don't know how the Nuclear Option plays into this one.

Pete's full interview with the Washington Post from last night. Knocked it out of the park, again.

Too bad for Pete that a huge swath of the democratic base is still made up by African Americans. He might have had a chance if it wasn’t for that.

They'll have to wait for 2038 for that one.

When the Republicans regain the House of Representatives the House Democrats will pack Nancy Pelosi off to a nursing home in the San Francisco area. Having President Trump reelected and the Republicans controlling both Houses of Congress will be sweet!

It will be glorious. And then the SCOTUS will be packed and the leftists will be tossed onto the scrap heap of history where they can scream at the sky till their heart's content.

What happens when the Leftist party is deceased and one of their appointees dies? Who chooses then?

Somebody tell me what would happen if this were proposed by a Republican candidate while a Democrat majority was in place on the Supreme Court.

The squealing would be epic.
