SCOTUS reporters saying Kennedy is retiring...

Boom.

Very early reports, true or ??

Need to get replacement confirmed before midterms. Liberal heads will explode. Hasbeen

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/27/anthony-kennedy-retiring-from-supreme-court.html

Liberal heads are exploding. Going from a moderate to hopefully a conservative

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...ng-opening-supreme-court-seat/952716001/

Liberal heads be exploding right now...

Hopefully Ginsburg croaks when she hears the news.

WIN!!!!!

RBG will now be embalmed like Lenin before she steps down

so..who shpuld get the nod. I say Ted Nugent..and im serious

Now if Darth Vader Ginsberg would do the same (or assume room temperature)

M A G A !!!

Dimmies are already figuring out how they can cock block...

Rush just said sheer panic is now setting in.

Since Nov. 2016 is all...

Okay, everybody take the day off. Go fishing, shooting, hit the gun store...

Christmas came early.

Hell yeah...

On the heels of these 5-4 decisions this is absolutely devastating for liberals.

MAGA

More winning!

Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy says he's retiring effective July 31. Kennedy stepping down would mark a second high-court pick for President Trump.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

C'moooon Ruthy!

The Devil's waitin'...

Take John with you when you go.

Can somebody send Ivanka on a month long trip to the Riviera or somewhere until Trump picks the replacement?

Just saying.

Kennedy implanted alot of ruinous decisions on America. It will take dedicated SCOTUS work to over turn them, and get back to normal.

Now that it's lost cause for the left, does Ginsburg just throw in the towel too?

Curt Gowdy on DECK
Batter UP

OOOOOWOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Thank you God.

Rush just said Kennedy’s retiring this summer.

Happy Dance!

Good question cast10K . . . either that or she kicks the bucket in despair.

Rush also said this AM that there were rumors Clarence Thomas was considering retiring. Now would be the time.

Geez, he's been dead since 2006. Would like someone with a little life left in them. Maybe Trey Gowdy?

Hahahaha, this^^^^. PTL.

Bwwwaaaaaaa.... I'm dyslexic lmao

Or she gets Scalia'd doesn't matter

God Bless America.

MAGA. Thank God. Now we can really shore up the SCOTUS and relegate the liberals on the court to a status of complete insignificance.

I can't wait to see what Trump pulls off while the MSM is talking talking and talking about it. This has to be one of the best diversions to ever come along.

This is going to be good.

gowdy shpuld be nowhere near the SCOTUS BENCH hes been corrupeted by politics.

("...Kennedy wants to spend more time with his family, even though they were content with him staying on the court ....)

I.e., stay away - you're a pita at home...

Ted Cruz ...wanna see some heads explode?

joke of the day.....bob

The Left is rushing to RBG with Geritol and vitamins. I promise there will be big pressure on her to stay until her dying breath. Only hope to shase her out is for the GOP to win a few more Senate seats and make it clear that no lib is getting in anytime soon. Should the Senate power get 51-49, she'll stay until 2020 hoping the Dems can grab 2 seats then.

Clarence Thomas retiring...... I hope not yet.

good advise.....bob

I agree with that. At one time I would have been onboard with him being nominated, but the last few years of his act in Washington has left me wondering if he could be trusted.

I'm good with that. How can the Senate NOT confirm him? Certainly the grilling during confirmation wouldn't bother him.

I don't like ted for prez…...supreme court, would be a good fit...….bob

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/06/27/supreme-court-justice-anthony-kennedy-to-retire.html

i wanst joking it doesnt take a lawyer to read the constiturion. marbury needs to be repealed asap. and if nugent were placed liberals would commit mass suicide

Trump should wait until after the midterms and then nominate Ted Cruz (after he wins re-election). I know it will never happen, but Cruz is much more valuable as a lifetime Supreme Court Justice than he is as a Senator up for re-election every 6 years.

we absoluteky do not need a sitting or former congress critter on the Scotus bench. they are all infected with politics

infact i beleiev evwry congressperson and senator should be limited to 3 terms and upon completion of that third term they shpuld immediately be executed

+1

Supreme Court Justice Don Willett??

YGBFKM

Nugent is not even close to qualified. Thinking deep understanding of law is not needed is beyond absurd.

Cruz has not shown much in quite some time and has shown some purely idiot moves.

This is huge, he's got at least 2 years left and office and Breyer and Ginsburg are both over 80 so we could well see a SC going forward that will have 4 Trump appointees. Add in Thomas and Alito both havng another 10 -15 years to serve and we'll have a pretty solid conservative majority.

Tears in my eyes! MAGA

MAGA

and that "deep understanding of law" is 90 percent of this countrys problems our founders wrote the constituion so that it was easily understood by laymen. the worthless lawyers since have polluted our justice system with technicalities that should not exist. one only has to look at a states crimes code to see evidence of that

I really don't think Cruz is as conservative as he tries to act. I beleive he will say and do what ever he has to to win elections, he's leaning conservative because that's the way the wind's shifting but let Texas turn democrat and he would make Bernie sound right wing.

My money is on Don Willett, has a very good track record and he's supposed to have a good relationship with John Cornyn, which would help get him through committee fast and help to keep Cornyn and some of the other RiNOs in line.

this could be the beginning of really getting back on track......liberals should be happy, this could postpone the inevitable…...bob

Was wondering what the sound like gnashing of teeth coming from the direction of Seattle Was!

Kennedy was appointed by Reagan. I'll hold my breath until I see the record of who Trump appoints. Really can't be much worse, but who's to say it doesn't end up status quo?

lying ted? LOL

you don't want the next slate of senators deciding, mittens will have his fangs out

Sorry, have to disagree. The Founders wrote a wonderful piece which is now the oldest written constitution in use. It's tenure speaks to its quality. Understanding the breadth and depth of it is way beyond the reach of Nugent.

Cruz is too much of a holy roller TV evangelist for me. I admire a man whose morals are framed by the Scripture, but all the religious public theatrics is too Pharisaical for me.

Yup, it is always a guessing game...

Gorsuch is a pretty good clue I think.

There will be Leftist violence over this next nominee. The Republicans, what there are of true ones, must hold the line with Trump. The future of America will be fought and settled over the next few years. We can NOT blink.

if you want to further brighten your day, stop in at the Democratic Underground, their reaction is priceless. I can only imagine what they would do if it was RGB, or Breyer.

After Kennedy leaves,it's looks like only 3 liberal judges left.

True, but that was to replace Scalia.

Trump has already announced he will nominate someone from the list he used for the Gorsuch pick. There are no bad choices on that list. All of them have proven track records and all are well qualified. This is a huge MAGA win ! Breyer has said he’s interested in retiring but is holding out for a democrat/communist president. He may give up if the Republicans increase the majority in the midterms and Trump continues to have the high approval ratings and looks to be a lock for re-election. Ginsburg and Sotomayor could croak at any moment. Sotomayor is a lifetime diabetic and has recently struggled to maintain her sugar levels. As she ages it will be increasingly hard for her to maintain her health.

Try again.

Somebody needs to assign some heavy security to McConnell now...

It's likely to get ugly, and they've already stalked and harassed him. If they think they can delay the nomination by hospitalizing or killing one or two senators, some nut out there will likely try it.

im ok with sacrificing mcoonnell and some others

All four remaining liberals will start with B... Breyer and the three bitches...

youre forgwtting Roberts

Exactly, the 4 liberals are still there.

Ha. For sure.

I'll give you a hint, there's been a bunch of 5-4 votes, like the travel ban for instance, and Roberts and Kennedy weren't on the 4 side.

This will be fun. Chris Mathews head is about to explode yelling block, block, block. Puts Senate supermajority rules squarely in the crosshairs. Heard Chuckie Schumer on the TV in the other room saying it's imperative for the Demorats to gain control of the Senate to save the country or something. Popcorn time.

How about DC v Heller

Roberts, Kennedy, Altio, Thomas and Scalia

He's too old anyways. Need young justices for long tenure. Need to look at their track record, philosophical mindset and their health. In that one respect, there is something to be said for picking women given their average longer lifespans ... if they don't vote with their hormones ... which frankly, I'd be dubious of.

Im starting to wonder about him and his deep state connections.

The other question is, how will the RINOs play this confirmation process. Will McStain play spoiler? It'd be just like him to do so. Snow? Flake? (double entendre) ...

you foegwt the obamacare debacle?

Heller was watered down to get Kennedy to sign on. Another strict constructionist instead of Kennedy and Heller would have struck down all current gun control laws. Roberts is a politician and will go more conservative as the rest of the court moves right. Replacement of Thomas before Trump leaves is something that Thomas himself has discussed. An all relatively young conservative majority would be the greatest possible Trump legacy. It’s very possible that Trump leaves a 7-2 or 8-1 young conservative majority if he serves to January 2025.

I haven't forgotten anything.

Yes Roberts gave us O-care.

The Dems will be dusting of 'ole Teddy's Bork playbook.

Flood warnings out for coastal areas...

Liberal tears are WAY over flood stage.

It becomes critical who replaces McCain. I keep reading that they’re going to name his wife Cindy to replace him. Imo that is a disaster and another spit in the face of America is the governor does so. He went to war in 1776 to be rid of aristocratic Government. There is no good reason whatsoever for family members to inherit an elected government position.

The list Trump says he's going top pick from:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...preme-court-justice-shortlist/739221002/

Or the "pubic" hair one.....

That's the very foundation of the scam called "public service"

Guy on twitter suggested nominating Gorsuch in a fake mustache and thick glasses.

or, I guess Trump could go rogue, and decide we need to thin down the SC numbers from 9 to, oh, maybe 5...

That's some great news.

Obviously the D's will do everything they can to try to stall until November.

It's critical we all vote in November and try to keep control of Congress. Trump could get another nomination or two beyond Kennedy's seat, and getting a bigger majority on the SC would do a lot to secure the future of gun rights.

Dems no doubt will fight to the death,,,, to keep their right to kill unborn or "just as they are born" children

Can't believe I'm saying this, but Thank You Harry Reid!!!! (nuclear option)

This needs to be done BEFORE the mid terms. The demorats can't stop it. But RINOs can.

I wouldn't want to bank on the midterms. If we lose 2 seats we are toast.


Clyde

Trump can not just change the number of justices in the court. That needs the approval of Congress.

Two of the top 6 sit on Georgia's Supreme Court. They are conservative, they have specialized in constitutional law, and they are VERY young. (Britt is not bad to look at either. Make a nice change from those liberal hags that sit on the SCOTUS)

Never underestimate the GOP's chances of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

ROFL! yeah, you got that right.

40 years old.... works for me!

This is why I wanted to see Trump win, if for no other reason. Too much that affects us is decided by the courts across this country, and the really important stuff ends up at the SCOTUS. We need to load it with conservative judges. I just hope Congress and the Senate has the balls to do it.

I've got a bottle of Old Forester 1887 I've been saving for just such an occasion.
If anyone wants to stop by and share it with me this evening feel free.

Liberal heads would burst and adjacent heads would also explode if he nominated Patrick Wyrick, Oklahoma Supreme Court Justice. He's 37 and staunchly conservative. My guess is Pryor.

Cool

Get ready for some fascinating political theater folks. Between what is about to take place and what will surely be some of the most creative October surprises in the history of this country, we are in for a rough political ride for a while.

This is shaping up to be a bad bad week for the left.
One more thing (like Ginsberg stroking out) before Friday and I could see a mass suicide taking place.

Keep your fingers crossed boys.

The younger the better!!!!!!!!! MAGA






Take care, Willie

Bwahaha. 😪. Elections have consequences.

The DNC hears about Kennedy retiring.

https://twitter.com/davidsiders/status/1012043479667445761

Some more fine twitter reading: https://twitter.com/RealJamesWoods

Most importantly- liberal heads exploding.

Don't be so quick to dismiss the great legal minds that have defended the constitution from the bench. "Technicalities" are a double edged sword. Keeping the legal system from ramrodding innocent men comes at the cost of occasionally letting the guilty go free. Many "technicalities" come down to police taking shortcuts and violating citizen's rights. If police did pristine police work, the guilty would seldom go free.

The founders were learned men, the constitution is not a simple document even if it is written so that most laymen can easily understand it.

Ted Nugent has his place, but the Supreme Court is assuredly not the place.

Find another Antonin Scalia, that's what the court needs.

Holyshitt there are some seriously disturbed dipshitts on DU. The funny thing is they think that come a civil war that those limp wristed, homo loving abortionists have a snowballs chance in hell of fighting us. The liberal faqs will barely be a speed bump to the patriotic conservatives as we mow them over in our quest to return this country to the vision of our founding fathers.

I’m LMFAO at their hysteria. They think that because Kennedy is retiring that a woman will no longer be able to control her body or her bodily functions. Who knew that the SCOTUS has so much control over a liberals body?

Those “people” don’t deserve the opportunities this country affords nor do they deserve to live under the freedoms that so many have died to protect. They should either move out of country and never return or they should “Jonestown” themselves......I’ll start a Go Fund Me so that we can provide the Koolaid. This country would be much better off without 50 million selfish, worthless, ignorant anti-Americans. They’ve been trying to ruin this country for a half century and while they’ve made some serious progress in their sedition the whiplash they’re suffering from because of our abrupt deceleration down the slope of ruin has caused them total and irreversible brain damage, assuming that they collectively have a single brain amongst them.

I pray that we can replace Ginsburg next and Thomas before Trump leaves office in 2025. I really like Justice Thomas but don’t want his seat up for grabs in the future. Reinforce the SCOTUS with CONSERVATIVE justices that revere the constitution. If liberals don’t like it they can and should extricate themselves from this country or at the very least they should extricate themselves from their miserable life....it won’t even hurt if they do it right.

A woman nominee would make it much harder for the Democrats to block the nominee. Snow , a Rino , would be in a tough position. She would very much want a mush Rino like Kennedy to replace Kennedy but how could she vote against a very qualified conservative woman. With only one spare vote to confirm a justice it could be very important. Nominating a woman also makes it harder than ever for Democrats to paint Trump as a misogynist and easier to get otherwise hostile Rino women to come out to vote for Trump. There’s a couple of 40 something women on that list and I think it would be a good move to nominate one. Making Democrats attack a very qualified woman is a good move politically imo.

I say just nominate the best damn candidate and make it happen instead of trying to game the system with who you think you can get through. I'm sick of compromising before the battle even begins.

This....

we couldn't be so lucky

I pray the Dems try this going into the midterms. Please, please, please!

CNN, MSNBC Analysts Encourage Extreme Tactics to Stop Supreme Court Pick

More winning! MAGA
Now, we need Ginsberg to go---
Trump gets three!

i used to think that but not any more

It sure the hell did.

Trump gets #2! whoohooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Calhoun: AMEN and HALLELUJAH!
I can not wait for more conservative Supreme Court Justices to be confirmed by President Donald J. Trump!
Note to President Donald J. Trump - "thank you for doing everything you can and have done to make America great again".
As opposed to the horrorshit show that the slimey bitch "hildabeast" would have created had she been elected.
OMG just thinking about the horrors/destruction she would have instituted upon this country makes me shiver/cringe.
GO TRUMP
MAGA
Hold into the wind
VarmintGuy

I want to pause for a moment to thank the Heritage Foundation for coming up with the list of judges...

He won’t settle for a Supreme Court position. He wants the Presidency.

But we have a modern day precedent for such a travesty . . . Missouri, right?

Jean Anne Carpenter Carnahan (born December 20, 1933) is an American politician and writer who was the First Lady of Missouri from 1993 to 2000, and served as the state's junior United States Senator from 2001 to 2002. A Democrat, she was appointed to fill the Senate seat of her husband Mel Carnahan, who had been posthumously elected, becoming the first woman to represent Missouri in the U.S. Senate.

No doubt, just look to Alaska to see how that works. Lisa Murcowski is as big a RINO as they come. Dem lite is more like it.

More Salt.

For his legal mind, Cruz is the closest we can get to Scalia coming back to life. I've heard him talk a number of times and his legal thinking is exactly what I want on the Supreme Court.

Guys, what about the McConnell rule? After all, this is an election year, right? Does the rule only apply to Democratic nominees?

https://www.vox.com/2018/6/27/17511048/mitch-mcconnell-supreme-court-anthony-kennedy-retirement

McConnell's blocking a bipartisan statement reporting on Russian interference during the election was nothing less than treason.

https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo...rtisan-statement-on-russian-interference

He's a real piece of work, and history will not be kind to him.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Eat a bag of dicks you commie POS!

Good hopefully they will Bourdain themselves.

Guys, but guys, duh, but, but what about, uhh, but guys.

Eat [bleep] bitch..

This worthless piece of [bleep] has been sucking a bag of dicks and taking up the ass for the last three years and he still comes back for more.

Hey Fuqk head. Follow the lead of the rest of the Libtards like Bourdain and go off yourself.

Yeah I don’t give a fuqk any more. Tell me where to send the rope.

Where’d the good Dr. go?

Presidential elections are every four years, not every two years.

It must be this incredible stupidity that prevents you from understanding the difference between an election that includes the President and one that doesn't that lead to our Marxism.

Nope, you're completely incorrect. Seating someone on the Supreme Court is a two-step process, of course. The President nominates candidates, which Obama did with Merrick Garland. The Senate provides Advice and Consent, which McConnell blocked. He announced within an hour of Scalia's death, on February 13, 2016, that no Obama nominee would be considered. Nine months before the election. Voters have a role in choosing both the President, in the most recent case, Trump lost the popular vote but won the EC. With the help, of course, of the Russians, with whom the Trump campaign colluded. The voters choose their senators, so given we're four moths out now, the voters should have their voices heard. McConnell stole Garland's seat, consistency demands no Trump nominee should be confirmed before the midterms.

In fact, once Trump has been impeached, all of his appointments should be nullified. They won't be, of course, but any and all of his appointees shall forever have an asterisk by their name. I remain very confident that inclusiveness, honesty, tolerance and intelligence will prevail over bigotry, discrimination, stupidity, dishonesty and fear, and that the damage done by the toddler in the oval office will be repaired.

Work on his one star rating?

Hahahaha. You stupid piece of human chiett. You are tff for words. HAHAHA HAHA .

I’m having a really, really good day.



P

Still not tired of winning..maybe in 6 years?

Me, too, Pharmseller. I see you on ifish, Rocky Rabb on Bigfishtackle, etc. All this stuff will sort itself out eventually. It'll be interesting to watch developments both in the near term and further in the future. It'll take awhile before Trump supporters see the error of their ways, but see it they will. Even some Harley workers don't see it yet. Maybe the soybean farmers are starting to get a clue. My sincere wish is that all the hurt Trump causes impacts his supporters the most.

Then we’ll have Don Jr for 8 years....dynasty baby. 😀

Can you run for President from prison?

Can you practice medicine, after being locked up for being convicted as a pedophile?

Plus, Ted’s own shadow hates his guts...😧😎

Well, you used to see me on Ifish. I’m persona non grata now.

I wouldn't put it past Hildabeast....

That's funny. It looks like you only got suspended, not permanently banned. I was permanently banned from Duckhunter.net by a moderator from South Carolina who's a birther. And, it was for posts on the Political Action page to boot, which is as free wheeling as the fire. Amazing. I looked up the ban, and under "Expires", it said, "Never", and under "Reason", it said, "No Reason Given". Chickensh*t. I used to post lots of photos on that site and they showed up full size, which is why I missed it.

Speaking of ifish, Nalu has turned over a new leaf. Into ultramarathons now, etc. I don't participate as much as I used to, but sure learned a lot over there.

Nah...mostly just hippies.

Whenever I see people trashing Mitch McConnell, I think back to this and say "thank you Mitch."

Cryfish and their ultra sensitive but empowered moderators seems the perfect place for a pedophiliac physician. Too bad that even his own kind don’t want him around.

They don't tolerate impolite conversations there, that's for sure. Not sure that their approach isn't more enlightened than all the insults and rude behavior on the fire. I only post and pay attention to the Salty Dog page, but I don't think one would get away much of what goes on here on the Life In General page. Nobody changes anybody's mind here, insults and threats aren't conducive to the honest exchange of ideas.

Mitch has no honor, his recent statements show him to be a hypocrite. I read that nobody on the Hill, Democrat or Republican, can stand the guy. Or turtle, or whatever.
