This open Supreme Court seat should not be filled until Robert Mueller is done with his investigation. We don’t need anyone that may be removed from their positions voting on a lifelong Supreme Court position.
Supreme Court Justice Kennedy has announced his retirement. President Trump, of course, made it all about him. “He felt confident in me to make the right choice and carry on his great legacy.” Right, because you have made so many great choices that the courts have had to strike down.
Maybe Justice Anthony Kennedy is retiring now while Trump’s president, because he feels he made the wrong decision on gay marriage, and he knows the president will do the right thing. Being a swing voter on the Supreme Court might of made him feel pressured to do something he feels was wrong, and now he sees a chance to make it right. Watching the way liberals are acting would make any normal person feel sick to their stomach, and scared to death of what they have in mind for this country. Good for him!
People have to remember in these United States, we have a set of American laws, and then we have a set of Republican laws. Then we have the Trump laws, which mean that he can do as he wishes — no consequences at all.

Trump is always bragging about how wealthy he is and yet he is always criticizing the “elite.” The reason for that is because the real elitists of the world have always shunned Trump. He has never fit in with the people of true wealth and that acceptance has always bothered him.
If you voted for a guy who grabs women, makes fun of disabled people, and questioned the nationality of our first black president, don’t expect me to take you seriously when you bemoan a lack of civility. You basically elected an episode of the Jerry Springer Show to be the president.
The Supreme Court nomination will determine a lot about American life and could possibly set us backwards in many ways. Yet the decision could possibly be made by a president who lost the popular vote and a Senate whose majority represents less than half of a deeply divided country.
Did the GOP conveniently forget the incident in 2012 when the the bakery didn’t want to serve Joe Biden because they disagreed with his political views? Paul Ryan stood with the baker and laughed.
