Three of the most far-right, racist senators in politics today and he wants to give them power to decide Supreme Court cases and the basis of our rights for the next 40 years. :snoop:


Trump's Newest Supreme Court Shortlist is Overtly More Political

"President Trump has unveiled his latest list of potential Supreme Court nominees, reviving a tool that served him well in energizing the conservative base in the 2016 campaign. But this latest list, his fourth, is quite different from those in 2016 and 2017.

Administration insiders concede that this list is avowedly more political. While the previous three lists included just one elected politician and no administration officials, this list includes three U.S. senators — all fire-breathing conservative Republicans. They are Arkansas' Tom Cotton, Texas' Ted Cruz and Missouri's Josh Hawley.

All three have, directly or indirectly, criticized Chief Justice John Roberts for not being conservative enough, and all three have presidential ambitions. Indeed, Hawley tweeted that he is not really interested in a seat on the court.

Also on the list are a top Trump White House lawyer and two top officials from the Trump Justice Department, including former Solicitor General Noel Francisco, who have carried Trump's legal banner in the courts.

Perhaps the most interesting name on the list is Paul Clement, who served as solicitor general in the George W. Bush administration and is considered perhaps the best legal advocate among the very able lawyers who practice regularly before the Supreme Court. Clement has some added assets: He has represented a variety of conservative interests before the court, including gun-rights advocates, religious groups and opponents of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

As for the federal judges on the latest list, they are all Trump appointees with records hostile to abortion, voting-rights legislation, LGBTQ rights and regulation of business and the environment."



Two from Arkansas and the other from Texas. :francis:

This fukking clusterfukk of a presidency could literally keep fukking with our lives for decades. :beli:

If this alone isn't a reason to vote Biden, I don't know what is.

Yet [alleged] Black posters on this site are performing some sort of weird moral posturing by willingly refusing to vote. :snoop:
Said it before and will say it again. They were never going to vote. They just needed a good excuse to look moral while doing what they were always going to do.

I feel like people need to let that go. These are adults who are choosing to help Trump... why put energy into those people? As far as I'm concerned, they are as scummy as Trump voters.
