Barrett sucks. For sure. I think she went as far as to lie about some things.

He chose people he thought were conservative. Turns out they're easily swayed to different things. Didn't mean they were always going to agree with what he wanted, but they have been a disappointment.

They appointed Barrett to axe roe v wade. She did her job.

Trump Say He Regrets SC Nominations

Quote:

---

The Republican president was asked about his recent comments regarding the three conservative justices in the interview, which was conducted on Monday.
"Do you regret nominating them?" the interviewer asked, referring to Trump's comments in a recent Truth Social post.

"Yeah. Yeah," Trump responded, according to a transcript of the interview.

"What can I do? I put them in. They voted against me too often. I was very I gave them the position of a lifetime, and they vote against me often."

---

It's amazing how poorly this guy hires because he seems to regret almost every single hire he makes.

---

He's ALL about loyalty. That's the one part that doesn't work in all roles in government.

What part of the constitution has Trump not followed? Doesn't he abide by every judge's rulings?

For the record, my short and curlies understand the Constitution better then KBJ.

holy ^&#$ he needs a handler AND an electric shock collar, one that send a large enough jolt of electricity to grab his attention and force him to think before he opens his idiotic mouth.

at least get through the mid-terms, then he is free to run his fool mouth off full blast again.

I actually think Gorsuch was a solid pick. Kavanaugh is decent but not great. Barrett has been disappointing.

Choosing SC justices is such a crap shoot. Besides being able to get them through the confirmation gauntlet, it's just hard to know how they will rule over a lifetime. Seating Scalia/Thomas types is like catching lightning in a bottle. It sure make you appreciate how special they were/are.

Sorry, but equating sex to sexual orientation takes him out of the "solid" category.

Well, he got his choices from the Federalist Society.

So...it's not like he just went out and picked random people.

I think the actual blame lies on the FS. If these choices aren't reliably conservative, then why tf did they recommend them.

On paper all three looked great.

At the time Republicans were happy.

For clarity, he was disappointed for the people..

It's unfortunate what they didnot to me, to our country. Birthright citizenship. It's becoming a major industry now. People are making millions and millions of dollars, and we're losing trillions of dollars. And it's become a corrupt business, all because of the Supreme Court decision. That decision was for the babies of slaves. Look at where it waslook at where it was approved. It wasn't for Chinese people, wealthy or unwealthy, coming, you know, pouring into our country. And this tariff decision again, all they had to do was a little clause saying any money paid does not have to be paid back…would have saved $400 billion. They chose not to save that.

regrets

To be honest, I think most of the recent appointments just don't have the balls (err fortitude) to basically start from a fresh slate as they review cases. And I am not talking about precedent.

I mean they are unable to scrub their lifetime of biases in order to rule justly. Not sure if you can even teach such a thing, it's more of a product of a society to records your moves, broadcasts to the world, and passes its on judgment… in real time.

Though they should be able to, they seem to lack the ability to NOT consider the ramifications for their rulings. You have to have that if you are truly going to rule on the fundamentals of the Constitution, which is what SCOTUS was designed to do.

Too much "we may have riots and cause a seismic shift and disrupt the Country if we… segregate schools then integrate them, legalize abortions then take it back even if just a little, expand citizenship then try and reign it back in.

Rule on the Constitution. Not the public sentiment of fallout from your ruling

Didn't watch his confirmations hearings, did you?

I did. Gorsuch said one thing that reassured me. Paraphrasing, he said, "Any judge who always agrees with their own rulings is a bad judge. Law does not take feelings into account."

Now he may have strayed from that but for his starting point? Me likey back then.

Can we get two real options for POTUS next go around? Im tired of holding my nose when I vote.

There was only one real option on 2016, 2020 and 2024.

I did watch. And I remember the quote.


And nothing in your post changes what I wrote.


Any person that thinks sex and sexual orientation mean the same thing is not a solid pick for conservative

Still better appointments than Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson. Do you agree?

And, just so we're being historically accurate, Republicans essentially pulled "orange man bad" on Andrew Johnson by reducing the number from 9 to 7 just to prevent a Democrat from shifting the Court.
