Trump to announce SCOTUS pick

krucam · Jan 31, 2017

Shenanigans should be avoided IMHO. There will be a tit for tat down the road...

Townhall is reporting that Neil Gorsuch is indeed President Trump's pick for SCOTUS.

Gorsuch is only 49 years old.

I would really like to avoid the nuclear option. Really.

Once you open the door, you can't close it, and it may not be favorable circumstances next time.

How do you avoid that when one Democrat says he's going to filibuster? It just takes one Senator.

If he doesn't change his mind, the die is cast.

Both Gorsuch and Hardiman were brought to DC today ahead of the announcement. Different sources suggest that Gorsuch is the likely pick.

Yeah, lots of media outlets now citing unnamed sources that it will be Gorsuch.

Not a blip on 2A

I'm of two minds on the potential pick. Is it better to get the easier one in first, or go hardball from the git-go?

The easier - Goresuch - might encourage one of the Old Left Dodderers to hang up his/her robe sooner, maybe, and start to work toward an easing of interparty tensions.

But shoving a Hard case down their throats would be so satisfying.

We'll know soon enough.

I want ALL of the nominees to come the their hearings wearing twin .45 LC six shooters and bandoleers of ammunition strapped across their chests.

A bazooka slung over the shoulder would be a nice touch too, but not required.

The Left lost. They can suck swamp water through a rusty shotgun barrel.

It's time for a little SCOTUS 2A payback.

"Hardiman’s wife Lori is from a well-connected Democratic family in Pennsylvania." - wonder if they've had some spirited dinner table conversations recently

And McCain makes everything questionable, never know what he might do. It wouldn't surprise me to wake up one day and read he changed his party affiliation.

It wouldn't upset me to wake up one day to news of his demise.

Maybe it will be both of them and coincide with Kennedys retirement. :thumbsup:

I have mixed feelings about the nuclear option too

BUT

The Dems *are* going to use it their first opportunity. No point holding back. Nice guys/gals finish last.

What is the nuclear option?
