Yeah, me too. But experience does count. Especially our generation that has seen so very many social changes in our lifetimes!

Barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen, until needed again. Then its Rosie start riveting, your country needs you, but only temporarily.

AGREED!!!

Honestly, Slatten, I am not sure that all conservatives agree with me but I know some must. The push against appointing liberals to the supreme court is their tendency to legislate from the bench.

Again, regarding Garland, he’s generally thought of as a moderate democrat. Interestingly though, when President Obama made his other 2 appointments to the Supreme Court in 2009 and 2010, Garland was suggested by Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the Senate, as a possible compromise pick Obama could have made (McConnell knew Obama wouldn’t pick an all out Republican, and basically thought Garland was a good choice everybody could agree upon). This just shows McConnell’s hypocrisy—that in 2016 when Garland was nominated, McConnell didn’t even let the Senate consider him.

And make no mistake: Garland is a centrist. SCOTUS blog’s Tom Goldstein describes him as “the model, neutral judge. … His opinions avoid unnecessary, sweeping pronouncements.” During his lower court confirmation hearings, Sen. Orrin Hatch—the longest serving Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee—called him “not only a fine nominee, but as good as Republicans can expect from administration.” In 2010, he said that Garland “would be very well supported by all sides” as a Supreme Court nominee.

BTW, Padre, Byron White turned out to be a disappointment to JFK, due to his right-ward leaning rulings.

Well, my comment did not become petty dispite the discussion, it started the discussion. This is my thread. That was it's first comment, by me. It was tongue in cheek, and yes, it was Mr and Mrs Smith, thanks.

Obama's two se******ns cause me to heartily agree with McConnell's use of the Biden's rule.

Come on, Nwtk, you're being overly defensive. I was referring to my comment's being a bit petty...not yours.

Your opening post was a dandy of a starter...outside the basis of my petty comment.

"I am not sure that all conservatives agree with me but I know some must. The push against appointing liberals to the supreme court is their tendency to legislate from the bench."
Right on, debeda.

HildaBeast's picks would have finished off the constitution as written.
The L*****ts thought they had it in the bag.

In answer to your previous question...which I answered....Byron White immediately came to mind for me, as I remember my Dad becoming pleased with Justice White after his initial response to 'Whizzer's' being nominated and confirmed was one of anguish.

Honestly, Debeda, all SCOTUS Justices legislate from the bench to some degree or another. SCOTUS has always been political by nature. Both left and right just seem to recognize only the others doing so.

slat; Both maybe, but the Liberals have an agenda to wipe out the constitution as written. you need to take off the blinders before it is too late.

I don't fully agree with that. When i say legislating from the bench I mean completely outside of current laws. More a dems thing IMO
