Justices rarely are one dimensional.   I liked Scalia's scrutiny of the growing exceptions to the fourth amendment.  The nominee clerked for wizzard white who with renhquist was one of the two dissents on Roe vs Wade.  White was a fact based justice who used common sense and could swing back and forth between factions.  I think people will be surprised in ten years how this judge is ruling.   Justice Warren was appointed by Ike as a conservative......it is not that simple......Scalia actually was very progressive curtailing the government exclusions.   I think I need to read much more, but predict a byron white type justice which will make the far left and fascist very unhappy, but for common sense Americans he may be the answer.

Bullshit.



There's only 1,373 days until the next election.

It's only responsible to wait until then to select a replacement Justice.

Pay attention.

I understand exactly how you feel and naturally feel the same, while also being deeply troubled that our nation has come to this sad state of affairs.  

At this election we needed a true statesperson, a moderate of either party, someone with wisdom, stability, knowledge and experience, real charisma and diplomacy, a uniter, someone there was at least a fighting chance all Americans could rally around once the election was done, someone we could all be reasonably proud of and feel confident in.   Where, oh where, was this person when we needed him or her, and will we ever find this person in all the land?

I thought we'd found it in Obama, and so did his many, many supporters, but apparently he wasn't what the nation needed.  Wrong skin color for some.  Still, while white, certainly Trump is the farthest from the ideal I've seen in all my years, and is already heading towards being the greatest divider ever known -- including dividing us from our allies.

I'm even more disturbed tonight, for instance, at hearing reports that Trump may've alienated yet another ally in Australia, and that Russia goes unchastised for actions in Ukraine while Flynn tosses empty threats at Iran.  

I think psychologists are going to have a banner year fighting depression.

A perfect fit.

I can see that today it really might happen people will get hurt and some killed. Friends will no longer be friends, familiy's hating each other, etc.

Just watching TV Arnold S told trump to trade jobs and people could sleep easily. lol

Now reporting if the enemy knew they were coming to Yemen? They were ready despite the helicopter going down upon arrival.

Well I have nothing to say about the scotus pick, haven't read up on him and I trust he'll live to the rule of the law. But when I see someone say a certain judge will carryout what the framer's wanted I shake my head. How the hell can anyone know what they wanted? Go back in time?
