Thread: SCOTUS: Kennedy Announces Retirement

  1. #31
    So finally after years of saying he's going to retire he finally does it. Wonder who's going to replace him.

    It needs to be Mike Lee's brother, Thomas Rex Lee who currently sits on the Utah Supreme Court.

    Willett is good as well, Ron Paul has endorsed him for office in the past.

    Seems like Mike Lee from Utah is a good pick, Rand thinks he is great and would hate to lose him, but Utah is a lock for another GOP senator anyways.
    He has been defined as a a libertarian-leaning member of the Republican Party.

    I was going to say Judge Nap. but I really didn't like his cake opinion, which really surprised me.

    This is exactly why Donald Trump was elected. Voters like the list.

    Judge Nap and Trump were practically butt buddies when Trump first got into office, Trump had him help out with the first Supreme Court nomination. Then the Judge almost got fired from Fox News because he claimed Trump was being wiretapped (turned it Trump was being wiretapped, and they also had informants in his campaign..)

    So Trump had a conversation with him and told him to tone it down, be more neutral and not defend him at every turn so he could pick him some time down the road and the Democrats wouldn't have a meltdown. You have to realize Democrats have to support the new nominee..the best way is for the Judge to do exactly what he has been. Swordsmyth says he has gone too far, I completely disagree.

    Lets remember that the Judge is nearly in his 70s. If you're going to nominate someone for the Supreme Court, you want to make sure that they'll be on there for at least 25-30 years. I don't know if the Judge will even be alive for another 20 years.

    We need Mike Lee in the Senate. Should be plenty of other good choices out there.

    In that case, I nominate Swordsmyth.

    Agree. Just the first thought I had because I had just read the article. His brother is a sitting state supreme justice and on Trump's "list." I'd rather him.

    Here is the question too all RPF members then, is Mike Lee more valuable in the Senate or the Supreme Court?

  19. #46
    Trump chose a pretty good time to become president. By the time his presidency is over, he'll probably nominate 2 more judges.

    On that merit alone he would become one of the most influential Presidents of the early 21st century.

    The liberal salt will continue to flow for some time because of this

    What a lie, my objections to Judge swamp are all because of Constitutional and rule of law issues where he has gone liberal.

    I have figured out why you add an "e" to my moniker, you are talking about an imaginary version of me that you have made up in your head.

    We want to lock up the court for the foreseeable future, not only will it safeguard our rights but it may drive liberals to actually leave the country or secede.

    There won't be no lock up majority if we are lucky we will get enough dissent to unlock their majority so they don't undo the second amendment like they want to

    It's a toss up. On one hand we lose a Senator that aligns, mostly, with the sites values. At this time he is a junior Senator and he doesn't have some of the committee positions like Rand has finagled. His position can always be challenged. On the other hand if he were nominated then it's a lifetime appointment as one of 9 as opposed to one of 100.
