We were pretty sure how Fauxcahontas was going to vote on Neil Gorsuch for the Supreme Court. She’s just making it clear with a whiny meltdown
Neil Gorsuch does not belong on the Supreme Court
WHEN JUSTICE Antonin Scalia died last year, giant corporations and their right-wing buddies spent millions of dollars to keep the Supreme Court seat open so that Donald Trump could fill the vacancy. It was only the latest step in their campaign to tilt our courts in favor of big corporations and the wealthy. Now, the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court is their reward. Anyone who believes in a neutral Supreme Court guided by equal justice for all should oppose this nomination.
Right. Because they all knew Trump was going to win.
Over the past three decades — as the rich have gotten richer and middle-class families have been left behind — the scales of justice have been weighted further and further in favor of the wealthy and the powerful. That tilt is not an accident. It’s the result of a deliberate strategy by powerful interests to turn our courts over to the highest bidder.
That’s funny, because Liz backed a woman who refused to release her Wall Street speeches to some of the biggest banks around. And let’s not forget Liz’s own rank hypocrisy on the rich.
At the core of this strategy is an all-out attack on fair-minded, mainstream judges. A prime example is the unprecedented blockade of Judge Merrick Garland’s nomination to the Supreme Court — a consensus nominee praised by Republicans and Democrats alike as a thoughtful, intelligent, and fair judge. None of that mattered for powerful right-wing groups that decided that Garland’s record did not reflect a sufficient willingness to bow down to the interests of the wealthy few. So they poured millions into a public smear campaign to stop his confirmation and leave the seat open.
Elections have consequences, honey.
On the bench, [Gorsuch’s] judicial decisions show a remarkable ability to shape and re-shape legal arguments in ways that benefit large corporations and disadvantage ordinary people seeking justice. In the Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores case, when he had to choose between the “rights†of corporations and the rights of women, Gorsuch sided with corporations. In consumer protection cases, when he had to choose between the “rights†of corporations and the rights of swindled consumers, Gorsuch sided with corporations. In discrimination cases, when he had to choose between the “rights†of corporations and the rights of employees to be free from harassment and abuse, Gorsuch sided with corporations.
In other words, Neil followed The Law and The Constitution, rather than being a Social Justice Warrior.
At a moment when the awesome power of the presidency is in the hands of someone who has shown contempt for our Constitution, our independent judiciary, our free press, and the principles that make our nation a beacon of democracy, this decision is more consequential than at any time in recent history. We cannot stand down when the president of the United States attempts to hand our highest court over to the highest bidder. And that is why I believe Judge Gorsuch’s nomination should be blocked.
Good luck with that, honey. Perhaps people who have lied on their applications to gain preferential treatment should resign.
Teach Honey,
Senator Warren said:
And trumpy is continuing to march you conservative working class stiffs off the cliff…
Secretary Clinton, for all her flaws, and even with her ties to Wall Street, would have fought for the working classes. Republicans, not so much.
trumpy and Deplorables are going to give you the America you thought you wanted: The working class scrounging for the scraps off the wealthy elites’ tables. But at least you won’t have to dig through the garbage with Mexicans and Muslims!
Any and all petty and rank obstructionism the Dems can muster against Gorsuch is justified after the Republican antics last year. Force the brain-dead repugs to use the nuclear option.
Another fantasy from the little loser…
Name one thing Stinky ever did for “the working classes”. And selling off 20% of America’s uranium for her own profit doesn’t count. Neither does allowing four “working class” Americans die in Benghazi. She did so much for the working class they elected Trump. Hahahahaha.
She’s a stinky whore and her old man is an impeached rapist.
Yeah right. Over the last 5 years I have seen my pay increase by over 35% but yet my take home pay has actually dropped. All thanks to increases in health insurance costs and other stupid Obama policies that Clinton only promised to keep and expand. Much more of that type of protecting the working class and I’d be paying my employer for a job.

No, Jeffrey, the lovely Mrs Clinton would have fought for the Democrats’ new base, the non-working classes. What actual working people have recognized is that you can’t be for both the working man and the non-working man at the same time; their interests are mutually exclusive.
It isn’t the working classes who are so stupid that they can’t tell the difference between males and females, but, President [Shudder!] Clinton would have fought to classify deluded males as females and vice-versa in the schools to which the working classes get to send their children. It isn’t the working classes who think that it’s a wonderful idea to let Mexicans stream across the border, depressing wages, or that we should bring in a hundred thousand or more Middle Eastern refugees who’ll all need food, clothing and shelter, paid for out of the working classes’ taxes.
That’s like saying, “The Titanic, for all the water she took on, was the finest ship of her time!”
When you say “flaws” are you taking about her craven lies, her treasonous lies, her duplicitous lies, her gratuitous lies or her self serving and avaricious lies?
Just so we’re on the same page.
The answer is too simple. The next time the Dems hold the House, Senate and Prez, they increase the Supreme Court to 11 and appoint and approve two young, ferocious liberals.
One suggestion was that Gorsuch be an man and recuse himself rather than being known as the “justice” who stole a seat by Republican shenanigans (thank goodness the Russians weren’t involved!). Garland would be approved and Gorsuch could be nominated and almost certainly confirmed (if he has no ties to the Russians) for the next open seat.
Otherwise, this is just the Repugs continued war on democracy.
Wrong adjective there, Skinsuit. There is no such thing as a “ferocious liberal”. The correct term is “flaming liberal”. Guess why, sweet cheeks.

The Hekawi princess, Pocacuntus, speak with forked tongue…
Ahhh, Stinky. What would we do without you to laugh at?

Stinky A$$hole,
What would we do without you to pity?
Of course like most liberals, our resident troll avoids reality. In blaming conservatives for the problems within the middle class, they forget that costs of regulations are passed down the chain to the consumer. They forget that the war on Wall Street often hurts the people whose retirement plans are tied to stocks. Minimum wage laws have now been shown to kill jobs, raise prices and harm the middle and lower class.
The war on the middle class was started by the left and continues today.
Warren and people of her ilk don’t like Gorsuch because he follows the law. That irritates the left because when people like Warren break the law in falsely claiming minority status, they think they are above the law. That’s why they want to pack the Supreme Court with progressive judges who ignore the law and even the Constitution.
The left believes that contrary to what the founders and most people hold to is that the law and the courts should not be a “respecter of persons.” The Courts should be blind to who is in front of them. That is contrary to the left who believes that a woman should win in court because she is a woman. A minority should win in court because they are a minority. A middle class person should win in court against a corporation because they are not a corporation.
The left hates the law and the Constitution.
If “the rich have gotten richer and middle-class families have been left behind…” during the last eight years, who’s responsible for that? The first two years of the Obama administration, the Democrats held majorities in both the House and Senate and a president to sign whatever bills they passed. Why are Democrats so derelict in their duties, Fauxcahontas?
Whoa, nelly. We don’t mean to just blame repubs for the worsening plight of the working classes. The Dems have been complicit in selling out to the plutocrats as well. It’s just that conservatism is much worse.
The problems stem from the policies themselves. Our policies on labor unions, international trade, taxation, immigration, patents and trademarks, healthcare, worker protections, Wall Street, consumer protections and on and on. In elite America these policies always (always!) favor the wealthy elites over the working classes. The Dems at least give some lip service to correcting these unfair policies, while the Repugs support them whole hog. The Dems have move further right policywise over the past few decades, whereas the Repugs have gone off the deep end.
Conservative policy and The Repugs are worse for the working classes. Always have been, always will be.
Regarding gc’s jeremiad:
Sentences 1-9 complete and total bullshit. Sentence 10 is true. 11-14 complete bullshit again. Pick a sentence to debate, realizing your gish gallop is 92.86% bullshit.
We get it. Secretary Clinton and Senator Warren are always wrong in your eyes, to be ridiculed and mocked as Stinky, honey, sweetie etc.
You left out Hag and Pocacuntus…
Clearly you can’t remember what you have written in the past.
Our policies on labor unions, international trade, taxation, immigration, patents and trademarks, healthcare, worker protections, Wall Street, consumer protections and on and on.
I keep forgetting that you are supposedly against the very policies upon which your business is based. We’ve been down this path before. You can be a man of principles and vacate the patents you allegedly hold, or you can tell others to do that which you will not do.
We get the idea that you feel that intellectual property of others should belong to everyone while your property is protected, but that is not the way the system works, nor should it. Each year there are lots of people who work hard to come up with ideas and you want to steal those ideas from them.
The rest of your ramblings continue to show your ignorance, and since you will not learn, there is little point is discussing them.
We get the idea that you feel that you have to attack Trump because he is taking the country in a direction that you don’t want – a direction based on laws and the Constitution rather than “feelings” and hatred which the left projects and tries to use as a weapon.
We also get that like Pavlov’s dog, you have to rush out and bark at people who make cognitive comments about Hillary and Warren. The problem for you is that you aren’t doing anything other than proving the points that I and others make.
The left can’t stand the Constitution, can’t stand equality, can’t stand the laws, and only exists to hate and divide Americans.
Your sentences 1-11 – just more of your circuitous, spinning loaf of bologna logic.
You reveal your ignorance. Do you have anything new to engage? You could bring up my wife’s religious beliefs. Or how I’m a rapist.
What the left can’t stand is the lying, hatred and ignorance of the right. And it’s worse now that they have a champion to frame their lying, hatred and ignorance in the Teflon Don. America is entering its own dark ages – not because of trumpy – but because of the ignorant hatred of his supporters who have been lurking in the shadows for decades.
“What the left can’t stand is the lying, hatred and ignorance of the right.”
While the right admires the depth and intensity of your projection.
Golf clap.
sorry, forgot…
nice deflection gc
Mike aka Poof,
The admires the depth and intensity of your analysis. LOL.
Translation: I can’t refute it so I will just ignore it.
Translation: How dare you bring logic and facts into a discussion!
Translation: Only I can say that she is delusional and hateful!! Even though you have never said she is, I can and believe that she is delusional!
Translation: See! I told you I was a rapist!
Of course, that is what you say but won’t apply that same criteria to the left because that would show the hypocrite that you are.
Translation: I really can’t say anything that counters your arguments and positions, so I am just going to bring up all sorts of irrelevant stuff and then accuse you of what I am doing.
You know Jeffery, I still remember when you first showed up here and said that you were interested in respectful discussion and debate. That went right out the window when you started name calling because people disagreed with you. It crashed and burned when you threatened people with physical violence (even though you said that you’d have you sons do it because, as usual, you won’t step up and do what you want others to do.
It’s a shame that you cannot see how truly deprived you are. I know it doesn’t matter to you, but you hate so many people and so many things in life. There are times when I actually pity your life, but then I remember that one reaps what one sows. When you sow hatred, you become hatred.
How ironic.
There was one candidate under investigation by the FBI on election day and it WASN’T Secretary Clinton.
I hope Mr. Trump does the nation a favor and resigns before even his fluffers in the House are forced to impeach him.
After all, Mr. Pence would become President, and although progressives would surely oppose Pence’s policies, at least Mr. Pence is not a psychopathic criminal. Let’s all just recognize that the system made a huge mistake and force trump out – for the good of America – for the good of the globe.
Nah.
Ain’t gonna happen, dumbass.
nice deflections – again.
