Posted on by Innovative

There are issues that have deeply divided President Donald Trump and conservatives during the first turbulent months since his inauguration. The judiciary is not one of them.

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch is a clean win. And lawyers inside and outside of the administration are working to vet potential conservative nominees, fill vacancies and ensure that the appellate bench is deep in case another Supreme Court vacancy arises.

Amid tension, Trump and McConnell together on judges As such on Thursday, the President announced 16 more nominees -- including his own deputy White House counsel -- for lower court seats.

Keep this in mind. Trump is living up to expectations and his promises in the most important issues -- nomination of judges is one of them. Go, Trump, MAGA!

Hmmm. I wonder if he's been surreptitiously negotiating for any of these. Or maybe laying a carpet just so he can have it read to pull out from some feet. I wonder.

Thank you POTUS DJT! Democrats are radical hate America leftists. Repubs are all talk do nothing a-holes. The swamp is trying to drown you. Play them all against each other.

I am positive that President Trump being in a position to nominate one or two ... possibly three ... Supreme Court justices is by far the biggest concern of those on the Left in their quest to destroy our Constitution and our Constitutional Republic. This will be the mega-battle of the century ... and the RINOs have got to go!

As others have said here: “Trump gave us Gorsuch, all the rest is icing on the cake.” My take, in addition to the above: Trump can let the Dreamers stay, IF, in return, we get The Wall, E-Verify, seriously curtailing Chain Migration, and much lower immigration limits.

This shows how important it is to maintain the Senate majority at all cost. Lose the majority, and we lose the committee chair. The Dems will not let any conservative out for a vote. Even RINOs have voted for Trump’s judicial picks. I will support ANY Rep, even ANY RINO, against ANY Dem.

If trump does nothing but get good judges elected and reverse obama’s EOS it would still be a win. Having said he should be held accountable for his promises like any other President. But I try to keep it all in perspective.



To: BobL

He got out of Paris Accords, TPP, Said no to Trannies in the military. These 3 things are 3 things that absolutely would not have happened under any other President (Ok, Sanders may have said no to TPP as well). This is year one with every politicians and media outlet in the country against him. How any Republican voter (not politician)can be mad at Trump is beyond me. I suspect that over the course or the next 3 and a half years there will be a few more positive things that Trump will do that others would not have done. I should mention, Syria has been relatively calm since he talked with Putin.



To: Michael.SF.

I was thinking about that - seems hard to do, but I agree!

Supreme Court fight? Wha? Who died? Please tell me that Ginsberg was driving drunk and got into a fatal head on crash with Sotomayor that neither survived. Go ahead, make my day.

Trump and his appointees/staff are removing thousands and thousands of harmful government regulations behind the scenes. It is not widely proclaimed or covered by the news, but it is happening. Most promises that Trump fails to keep will mostly be due to the GOP Establishment stabbing him in the back over and over again. McConnell and Ryan are doing everything they can to block his agenda. Everything.

Everything. True. But I cut Trump no special slack on that. A President is not a dictator and must work with others to get things done. That's part of the job. If a President can't do that he shouldn't be in that job. Reagan did it. Let's hope Trump finds his way and is able to persuade people and cut deals. But again - even if he were unable to do that his Presidency would still be a net positive in my book.

DJT also is pursuing the most enduring initiative possible - electoral reform. His group is acting to prune away phantom democrats and other illegal votes. If that succeeds, democrats will lose their stronghold on many town, city and state legislatures which rely on election fraud.

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

While the intent of the writers of the 14th amendment clearly meant for it to refer to the newly freed slaves, the text leaves very little wiggle room for denying anchor babies citizenship. Certainly an illegal alien is “subject to the jurisdiction” of the U.S. Indians and foreign ambassadors weren’t/aren’t considered to be. Don’t know if we should be cheering for “legislation from the bench” even if it is for our issues.
