All Things SCOTUS

She won't retire under Trump. She has stated that her goal now is to make it to 90.

The grim reaper may have other ideas.



I do love her wardrobe choices though.

Pocahontas on MSNBC calling Kav a "political animal" and dodging even some softball questions with sky is falling rhetoric.

This is true. No one beats the reaper.

RBG won't retire but she may stroke out when Trumpers wins re-election.

I think Trump missed an opportunity by skipping Barrett this round. Replacing a man with a woman would have been a stellar political move for him, own the equal rights crowd while pre-empting a RBG replacement "needing" to be female. Plus she should be able to serve a full decade longer than Kavanaugh. Just wait for Trump to say something stupid like "I'm saving her to replace RBG" and get filleted.

Seeing some of these Bush and Clinton impeachment connnections makes me think Trump is trolling a bit though.

NBC pushing an admittedly anonymous one source story saying that retiring judge was in negotiations with administration for months on he would agree to retire if certain judge(s) were appointed to replace him. So of course its catching fire as fact on left wing twitter

EDIT: and down it goes after tons of retweets and being passed around:

Ultimately, Fogo de Chao’s argument is that American chefs either can’t learn to cook or won’t cook Brazilian steaks… But the “Americans can’t learn to cook” proposition is a factually unsupported stereotype that finds no home in the specialized knowledge visa program. And the “Americans won’t cook” proposition in the end is just an economic argument.

Like other restaurants, Fogo de Chao must compete in the chef market by offering better wages or benefits to attract quality chefs. Fogo de Chao undoubtedly would save money if it could simply import experienced Brazilian chefs rather than hiring and training only American chefs to cook at its steakhouses here in the United States.

TO be clear I'm not wishing for it or anxiously awaiting it, I'm just honestly almost expecting it...

but is anyone else totally preparing for the news that one of the liberal leaning judges had a stroke or heart attack or something?? Not just RBG but any of them.

I'm surprised a lot of libs in general haven't stroked out.
The fact that politicians haven't is just more support that it's all an act anyway.

RBG specifically has had her health challenges. Not wishing her ill, but it would not surprise me in the least. She's old AF, long history of health concerns, can't stay awake and admittedly dozes often.... I'm surprised the libs don't order health care specialists to escort her 24/7.

If you're a traditional catholic like Wiz or Whiskey on the issue, then yes, caution and compromise are bad things when it comes to the current state of the law regarding abortion. There's nothing "2018" about that viewpoint, its pretty old.

An outright overturn of Roe would likely galvanize a lot of people on the Left, and possibly send the country Left-er than it has ever been on the topic. Caution and compromise, like limiting certain things without and outright overturn, is likely the best long term solution. I'm a pro-life guy, but this is the one issue that could kill any chance of improving the situation long term.

I know Brett personally. He is an upstanding reasonable guy that will definitely put the law before his personal beliefs. I'm obviously biased, but I think he was the perfect choice.

He came across as you described. Hate to see a guy like him go through the mud slinging just because of politics.
