Quote HistoryQuoted:
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/will-kennedys-retirement-help-republicans-at-the-midterms/ Supreme Court nominations are not always cakewalks, however, as cases such as Harriet Miers and Robert Bork (and Clarence Thomas) attest. There are several potential risks to Trump and Republicans: Trump could nominate a relatively moderate justice, in an effort to keep Collins and Alaska's Lisa Murkowski on board and to put maximum pressure on red-state Democrats, but then face a backlash from conservatives. Trump could nominate someone very conservative, but at the price of actually putting votes such as Collins's and Murkowski's at risk and of turning off swing voters. Trump could nominate someone who had vetting issues, or someone who triggered a debate about qualifications, or someone who was seen as too much of a political crony. Historically, these sorts of justices have had trouble getting confirmed. |

So he fucked them two ways: 1) he used The Biden Rule to fuck the democrats of Garland 2) he used Reid’s new rule to fuck them on Gorsuch Mitch is actually good for SCOTUS nominees. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Roe is not contrary to life and liberty. Both are about freedom of choice. Nobody is making you get an abortion. Taking away the option is actually less freedom. Until we're in agreement on when life begins, we aren't going to agree on the abortion debate. I doubt that the nation will ever agree on that, given the various religions/lack of religious beliefs out there. Quote HistoryQuoted:

One way to look at the issue of the A word is that right now you have 2 choices. One choice is that Ds are the maojority (spelling intended) and the A word is legal. The other choice is that Rs are the majority and the A word is legal. There are currently no other choices. Choose wisely.

From a private property argument, you enter an agreement with the landlord. As savage as it may seem, (legally and philosophically speaking) an unborn child is offering nothing while taking resources. The unborn child is killed due to a decision to no longer provide those nutrients, and physical burdens for free. I do not advocate that position. But the counter argument might be interpreted as a requirement for people to provide for others they do not wish to care for. |
