To revisit an old segment once run on this humble website at sundry times and in divers manners, we have the this recent piece on the latest list of Supreme Court justice candidates announced by President Trump. Just a snippet to whet the appetite, click on the above link for the rest...
In May 2016, President Trump released his first short list for the Supreme Court. At the time, I was cautiously optimistic about the eleven names on the list. There were two names missing from that list: Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. At the time, those omissions did not bother me. But it surely bothered these two judges, and their boosters. In September 2016, Trump added ten more names to the list, bringing the total to twenty-one. Neil Gorsuch was added to the list. Brett Kavanaugh was not. In January 2017, Trump nominated Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Fast forward to November 25, 2017, President Trump added five new names to the list. Now, Kavanaugh was added to the list. At this point, it was obvious why the five other names were added: to bring Kavanaugh into the fold. And after Justice Kennedy retired in June 2018, Kavanaugh was tapped to the Supreme Court...

Points to Ponder:
(On the Far Left and the Far Right)
(On the Far Left and the Far Right)
It is like the far left and the far right both ignore exactly half of the old "sins crying to God for vengeance", most specifically the half that is inconvenient to them.
The far right is all righteous about abortion and sodomy but does not give a shit about oppression of the poor or defrauding labourers of just wages.
The far left is all righteous about the latter two but do not give a shit about the former two.
Both are 50% wrong while prancing around as More Moral Than Thou presuming to pronounce on the eternal damnation of those who disagree with them.
