You should support our new SCOTUS appointment, tbh. He got dem support!
Probably have to make it to 2024. But if they make it to anytime in 2024 they can use the Scalia/Garland card and probably get their way, assuming a Democrat is elected in 2024.
7-2 by 2024 if Ginsburg and Breyer are both retired or dead. Kennedy departing just sweetens the pot for Trump because he'd appoint a far righty in lieu of a replacement moderate swing voter. Then you have Clarence Thomas who might retire just so Trump can appoint another 50 year old far righty to cement the SCOTUS for the GOP for likely the next century.
Surprisingly good choice.
Laura Ingraham hinted last night that there'd be another appointment in June - don't know who/what she's heard from. My guess would be Kennedy's retirement although she did clerk under Clarence Thomas - so maybe him?
Gorsuch is VRWC/oligarchy/corporatocracy dream candidate, being extremely pro-corruption-politics, pro-unlimited-money-in-politics, very pro-business and anti-citizen
Judge Gorsuch’s Money-in-Politics Record
* In his only opinion directly addressing money in politics, Judge Gorsuch expressed openness to providing a higher level of cons utional protection to a donor’s right to make political contributions than the Court currently affords the right to vote.1 Judge Gorsuch’s openness to applying rigid “strict scrutiny” review to contribution limits—one of the few remaining checks on big money we have left, thanks to the Supreme Court—puts him among the ranks of justices extremely hostile to this issue, such as Thomas and Scalia, and is cause for serious concern.2
* In Riddle v. Hickenlooper, Judge Gorsuch joined a Tenth Circuit panel in striking down an ill-advised Colorado statute that imposed lower campaign contribution limits on minor party candidates than the limits applying to major party candidates.3Because the statute was discriminatory, the outcome of the case is not cause for concern in and of itself.
* What is troubling, however, is that Judge Gorsuch went out of his way to write a concurring opinion suggesting that making a political contribution is a “fundamental” right that ought to be afforded the highest form of cons utional protection, which is known as “strict scrutiny review.”4
* As the highest form of cons utional protection, strict scrutiny review is reserved for our most precious rights, like the right to be free from discrimination on the basis of race or religion, or the right to express an unpopular viewpoint. Sometimes the Court doesn’t even apply this level of scrutiny to restrictions on the right to vote itself.5
* In recent years, the Supreme Court’s 5-4 majority has applied strict scrutiny review to strike down laws governing money spent independently of candidates. If the court were to follow Judge Gorsuch’s reasoning and apply strict scrutiny to laws governing direct contributions to candidates, many remaining protections against big money in politics would similarly fall.
* It is precisely this approach that has created a system in which single individuals and corporations can spend tens of millions of dollars to influence elections, and in which candidates and elected officials are significantly more responsive to the priorities of an elite donor class that is richer, whiter, and more male than Americans on the whole.
Broader Democracy Law
* Judge Gorsuch is hostile to regulations on the corporate sector and has a record of ruling against consumers and working Americans.6
* In the Hobby Lobby case, Judge Gorsuch joined a troubling extension of the Supreme Court’s holding in Citizens United v. FEC,7 in favor of corporate personhood. Specifically, the Tenth Circuit ruled that privately held, for-profit secular corporations are “persons” under the meaning of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), and could qualify for religious exemptions from the Affordable Care Act’s mandate to provide reproductive health services.8
Other Causes for Concern on Money in Politics
* Like others on Trump’s short list, Judge Gorsuch has ties to the Chamber of Commerce—the single-largest lobby in the country comprised of corporate giants from the pharmaceutical, oil, and other industries, and which has spent tens of millions of dollars in elections while keeping its donors secret.9 Before becoming a judge on the Tenth Circuit, Gorsuch represented the National Chamber of Commerce, arguing in favor of rules that would make it more difficult to hold companies accountable for securities fraud.10
* Judge Gorsuch has described his own jurisprudence as backward-looking.11 On numerous occasions he has ruled against plaintiffs claiming to have been discriminated against on the basis of race, and his ruling in favor of law enforcement in an excessive use of force case raises concerns that his jurisprudence would continue to entrench systemic “colorblind” racism in the United States.12

Both parties poll as wanting to get money out of politics, so this Gorsuch asshole is perfect allowing the 1% to screw the 99% with 100% corrupt politics.
Gorsuch is dream for Christian Taliban and Christian Sharia
Gorsuch is how Christian Sharia gets imposed on women, giving Taliban 5-4 to overturn Wade v Roe, a huge victory on the Repug/Christian War on Women.
But with RvW dead, even women who can afford abortion today will have to go to a country where abortion is legal
Neil Gorsuch’s crusade against Planned Parenthood
Planned Parenthood Association of Utah v. Herbert was not an important case. It turned primarily on a factual dispute over whether Utah Gov. Gary Herbert (R) had an uncons utional motive when he cut off funding to Utah’s Planned Parenthood affiliate, as well as another dispute over whether a three-judge panel that temporarily restored that funding misread a trial judge’s opinion.
It was a case that turned upon, in the language that lawyers use, a “question of fact,” rather than on a question of law that could have major implications for future cases. In other words, if the judges hearing this case were wrong about the facts (or about what a specific trial opinion said), while that would obviously have very serious implications for Planned Parenthood, it wouldn’t have any implications for future cases.
And yet Judge Neil Gorsuch, President Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, went to war over this legally insignificant, fact-bound decision.
En banc hearings are typically not used to correct alleged errors of fact that have no implications beyond the one case.
And yet Gorsuch didn’t simply try to get his court to convene an en banc hearing in the Planned Parenthood case. The public record shows that a member of his court ordered a poll of the court’s members to determine if such a hearing should take place, despite the fact that no party asked for such a poll. That’s an extraordinarily unusual action for a judge to take. Typically, courts only hear cases en banc if the losing party asks them to.
As the conservative legal writer Ed Whelan notes, since Gorsuch eventually wrote the decision dissenting from his court’s decision not to en banc this case, “it’s not climbing out on a limb to surmise that it was Gorsuch” who sought an en banc hearing in the first place.
Gorsuch’s actions make perfect sense if he is an anti-abortion hardliner who wanted to cut off funds to a leading abortion provider and was willing to bend the rules to do so.

Of course, Repug/Christian-Taliban War on (poor black, brown) women doesn't need Gorsuch to defund PP.
Kennedy retiring would make it solid 5-4 conservative with next to no chance of any liberal ruling for the foreseeable future. Unless Roberts pulls a rabbit out of his ass like in 2012 with Obamacare.
Trash brought two SCOTUS candidates to DC, knowing which one would get "fired" and insulted by Trash's childish bull . Trash is a ing asshole
Judge Neil M. Gorsuch was resting midway down a Colorado ski slope last year when his cellphone rang with the news that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had died.
“I immediately lost what breath I had left,” Gorsuch recalled in an April speech, “and I am not embarrassed to admit that I couldn’t see the rest of the way down the mountain for the tears.”
Gorsuch is seen by many on the right as a fitting replacement for the iconic jurist that Gorsuch considered a “lion of the law.”
Lawmakers may “appeal to their own moral convictions” and to claims of “social utility” to reshape laws for the future, he said. “Judges should do none of these things in a democratic society." (but he supports Christian Taliban imposition of Sharia)
“His opinions show a commitment to the history and text of the Cons ution, regardless of where the results lead.”
(iow, the Cons ution is a worshiped, anachronistic DEAD DO ENT while a living society has evolved over 200+ years.)
in his book, “The Future of Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia,” which argued against laws permitting people to have help in ending their lives.
He is an Episcopalian and would be the only Protestant on the current court. Five of the justices are Catholic and three are Jewish.
he has also written strong opinions on religious liberty (aka, the Christian Sharia uber alles)
“contraceptive mandate” under the Affordable Care Act, Gorsuch sided with the employers, concluding they had a religious-liberty right exempting them from the mandate.
In 2013, the 10th Circuit, including Gorsuch, ruled in favor of the Green family, owners of the Hobby Lobby chain of craft stores, who sought a religious exemption from paying for drugs or devices that they believed could destroy a fertilized human egg.

So, Gorsuch is a wetdream for the Christian Taliban to impose Christian Sharia even more widely
If I were the other one, I'd see it as I'm probably next in line should there be another appointment.
Boo spreading fake news from his RSS feeds as usual. He is so predictably stupid and gullible.
Anyone remember what boutons nickname for Bush was? Was it any better than Trash?
Hasn't Uncle Thomas previously said he has no desire to be a lifer? This would undoubtedly be the best time for him to step down without changing the ideology of the court by doing so.
I think it was Shrub. His best nickname was Magic Negro.
shrub was Molly Ivins' nickname.

Neil Gorsuch, Trump's Supreme Court Pick, Has History of Ruling Against Workers, Women & Regulation
As a judge on the Tenth Circuit, Neil Gorsuch ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby in the case deciding whether the company could refuse to provide birth control coverage to employees as required by Obamacare.
Judge Gorsuch also has a long history of ruling against employees in cases involving federal race, sex, age, disability and political discrimination and retaliation claims.

Trump’s Supreme Court pick founded prep school club called ‘Fascism Forever’
Neal Gorsuch, whom Donald Trump appointed to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court, is the founder and president of ‘Fascism Forever.’
Gorsuch started the club at the prestigious $30,000-per-year Georgetown Preparatory school during his freshman year, according to the Daily Mail.
The Mail obtained photos from Gorsuch’s yearbook that show not only his club affiliations, but a photo of him wearing a shirt and tie, reading Up from Liberalism by William F. Buckley (an avowed racist who blamed the sagging economy on the black community in a debate with African American writer James Baldwin).
Gorsuch’s founding of the ‘Fascism Forever’ club was a tongue-in-cheek reference to his liberal professors, showing that even as a teenager, Gorsuch had already begun gravitating to the far right.
By the time Gorsuch was in college, he was already an experienced right-wing troll.
The future Supreme Court nominee criticized anti-apartheid protesters while he was at Columbia, saying they had “dubious logic,” arguing in several columns for the student newspaper that ongoing U.S. investment in apartheid South Africa was for the good of both countries.
He also quoted former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger — whose bombing campaigns in Southeast Asia left hundreds of thousands dead — for his yearbook photo:
