Trump's SCOTUS Picks
May 18, 2016 at 5:14 pm
(This post was last modified: May 18, 2016 at 5:28 pm by AFTT47.)
Trump relases a list of potential SCOTUS picks. Any Sanders fan boy who balks at voting for Hillary really needs to give this a read. Trump parades a list of far-right judges and talks about Scalia.
Trump called Scalia "a Justice who did not believe in legislating from the bench and he is a person whom I held in the highest regard and will always greatly respect his intelligence and conviction to uphold the Constitution of our country."
He added that the names on his list are "representative of the kind of constitutional principles I value and, as president, I plan to use this list as a guide to nominate our next United States Supreme Court Justices."
This is it folks. If the Republicans stonewall Obama's pick to replace Scalia and Trump wins the Presidency, he'll be replaced by another judge just like him. Then, there is the potential of Trump getting to replace Ginsberg, Bryer and Kennedy with more right wing douche bags. They'll be fucking us for 20 years. Do you REALLY want to stay home election day?

Of course he values those kinds of principles...they're an important bargaining chip in getting the republican establishment to line up behind him.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Wonder how many Souters are on the list, and if any, would the Senate judiciary dems realize it ?

He already presented a shadow cabinet of borderline psychopaths and full blown idiots. Why should this come as any further surprise?

It's not a surprise. I just want to make sure the Bernie supporters understand one of the major consequences of a Trump Presidency.

It's a real "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation.
If it makes you feel any better, if I do stay home on Election Day, my vote is statistically insignificant anyway.

Yeah, and many people feel the same way. That's why staying at home is such a stupid idea, since all these individually insignificant people suddenly become a significant portion of the electorate. That's why I always pinch my nose to cast my vote. I don't want to contribute to any radical's win because I can't be bothered to move my arse. And you can bet your aforementioned bodypart that radicals are much more eager to vote than moderates who simply don't agree with the alternative.

I know, I know. It's just that, as an American, I'm sick of feeling like I'm selling my integrity to vote for the lesser of two evils just to watch the country go to shit anyway. We have a strong culture of anti-intellectualism, and it seems that without some huge cultural revolution, our country is doomed to take itself down regardless of who I vote for. At least if I refrain from voting, I can feel like I can live with myself.
Look, when it comes down to it, I'm sure I'll end up at the voting booth marking Clinton and trying not to vomit, because the idea of a Trump presidency is the stuff nightmares are made of. I just like telling myself that I'm not going to vote, because it makes me feel like I'm at least salvaging a tiny bit of integrity.

Apparently there are quite a few Bernie fans who think that would be just fine.
They are letting their delusions run wild.
