It seems he doubted it overall to me. I don't really consider this interview a strong flip-flop and a reason to condemn the guy considering he was not at all politically active in 2002 and it was the anniversary of 9/11.

This

"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters"

Good argument. What we would expect.

You guys are in so deep everything will be excused and justified.

"Trump said this"

"He also said this"

"excuse excuse excuse SHILLARY! excuse excuse SHILLARY"

Trump supporters best argument to the never trumprepublicans is the next Potus will likely pick several supreme Court justices. Sure maybe he's not as conservative or consistent as they would like , but compared to Hillary's....

The other stuff is pretty small fry. Enough checks and balances exist with Congress and the like , and even if some of his policies and executive actions are bad, it's nothing that can't be addressed in 4 years. You could make that same argument for Hillary too, but Supreme court Justice's tenure average 20 years.

Inb4 Senate confirms.

It's sad because I think trump will win and make America great again

HE ACTUALLY.

DID IT.

why this horrible clown actually shaming united states of murica, is always saying obama is the "worst president" ?

Historically speaking though, the presidents haven't always successfully packed courts with people of their own ideology.

I don't think SCOTUS judges can be divided into conservative and liberal groups as easily as politicians competing in a political economic market as products. I think we have a pretty smart and dynamic court now. I would like to so somebody more active and intelligence/articulate where Clarence Thomas is and there should be a balance.

The understanding that the balance is a tacit one, and one the Congress totally respects. A liberal won't be appointed to fill the seat of Scalia...it wouldn't be right, and when Obama talked about it, he even compromised and talked about a conservative judge that the Republicans have a track record of supporting.

Do you have any complaints with his other picks? Kagan and Sotomayor are both outstanding judges and have brilliant legal minds, enough to fill the shoes.

Do you value diversity in the Supreme Court when it mitigates law? It is the highest power in the United States, as it has the power of Judicial Review over all laws passed.

Would you rather it be diverse as it is, or would you personally like to see it packed with people who completely just agree with you and offer no other or dissenting viewpoints to make decisions with? Aka, a partisan and ideological court. This is just kind of a personal question I'm wondering about you in particular.



What a buffoon. The sideshow attraction has become the main show at the GOP.
