Simply engaging Trump lowers an interviewer to the low Trump level, like sitting for a chimp portrait painter.

I find it likely that, at some past point, Trump got a woman pregnant and paid for an abortion to make it go away.

Scalia was very good at crating arguments to support his positions, so without him the right wing of the SC is a lot weaker. I mean, Thomas’ arguments are usually pretty weak, and Alito is to the right of Thomas and many of his arguments aren’t well supported by a straight reading of the laws. Scalia gave a lot of intellectual heft, that had an actual foundation in the reading of the law (instead of the twists Thomas and Alito depend on), and could have figured out how to get Kennedy onto a weaker decision, or to make it go the opposite way. If we can get a centrist onto the Court, the right wing will be isolated…we don’t even need a lefty to reverse the strong drift of the judiciary over the past couple decades. This issue alone matters more than anything else, we just can’t let the Republicans put more right wing extremists on the court, that will endanger any equal rights you can imagine.

Every time I read one of Trump’s ridiculous comments or ā€œpolicyā€ statements I can’t wait for the debates.

ā€œTrump Finally Weighs inā€¦ā€

Can we have TPM’s agreement that if Trump picks Christie, all articles about Christie voicing his opinion on somethign will be headlined with ā€œChristie Weighs inā€¦ā€???

To be clear, the Supreme Court voted 5-3 against the Texas law, and a ninth justice would not have been enough to change the court’s opinion.

The Donald’s very presence in the Oval Office would have been enough to change the court’s opinion. Nobody appoints like Donald, and nobody persuades like Donald.

When the Donald is President, everyone will get a fetus. You get a fetus! And you get a fetus! And you get a fetus!

Of course, you can’t ask the Trumpster about the particulars involving abortion law or any law for that matter, especially if it deals with ladies’ private parts. Its just too icky for him to consider or imagine. Babies come out of ā€œwhereverā€ would probably be his response. He has no concept of reproductive health for women, so fuck him…

I thought the headline said bad meth, not bad meth. Should probably put on my glasses.

At least CHIEF Justice Roberts will never have to swear a President Trump’s oath of office…

P.S. I’m actually surprised that Trump was able to connect the dots of the ACA rulings and Roberts’ votes. That seems way beyond his level of knowledge so it was probably something that ā€œhis peopleā€ practiced with him. Which also explains why it took Trump a week to respond.

If Trump is elected, Roberts better not make a wrong turn, get in a private plane, or eat Muslim food. Just sayin’.

For $50 mill? Donny would find a way to cheat.

Also, remember Princess SnowPants and the Couric interview when she was asked about SCOTUS cases, also, too.

Nailed it!

If you offered Trump one option on anything, he would pick the wrong one.
