A president with credentials and intellect would be even better.

Who does Grassley think he’s fucking fooling? The entire country knows all he and the GOP want to do is stick an white Christian nationalist ideologue on the bench to roll back the 20th century. Half of us hate them for it and the other half are cheering for it and can’t wait for their chance to force a poor urban mother to give birth while screaming “n----r n----r n----r!!!” so it’s the first thing the child hears before they declare its race a pre-existing condition and prevent it from getting health insurance for the rest of its life.

He followed it up with “But I’ll vote for anyone Trump picks. I really don’t care.”

I’m pretty sure he doesn’t mean those words as defined in the dictionary…Gorsuch has already shown that politics matter more. We’ll get another right wing ideologue, who is primed to force the nation to worship as Christians and shut down rights for minorities and liberals. I wonder who they will name these laws for, since Jim Crow was already used…

Oh, he isn’t pretending not to want that. He’s just saying that he wants the “white Christian nationalist ideologue” nicely packaged, like Gorsuch was.

Hopefully she’s got a couple of nurses with her 24-7, including (especially) when she’s on the toilet. And last ditch, hopefully she’s left instructions not to disconnect the ventilator until a Democrat is inaugurated president, with a Democratic Senate majority.

Judge Janine.

Credentials? Check.
Intellect? Check and check!

Or does he wimp out and let Mitch pick again?

My advice is to drink heavily, vote, protest, support progressive candidates and fuggedabout OSC until they decide to pop up out of their hole to check for shadows.

Note to self: take my own advice

Now, on top of everything else making us vomit daily, we have to put up with a stream of horseshit from the GOP about how important it is to ask for and expect all the criteria they don’t apply to themselves, up until they confirm a windup trump toy for SCOTUS.
