Members Lucky Posted November 18, 2017 Members Share Posted November 18, 2017 Donald Trump is doing one thing that no one quite predicted. He is sticking to a plan to turn the courts around by appointing young people to life terms as federal judges. Not just young people, and I use "young" in the context of traditional court appointments- but right-wing people who want to undermine the gains made in the past few decades. Abortion and gay rights are two topics they can't wait to handle. See the latest 5 to be added to his list of potential Supreme Court appointments: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-adds-conservatives-supreme-court-nominee-list-article-1.3640583 TotallyOz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyOz Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I have been watching this closely. This is the worst thing he can do. But, I have a friend in Bama who basically said they know Trump is a degenerate and an asshole but he is giving him what he wants and that is conservative justices. And, he is delivering those left and right and a fast pace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lucky Posted November 18, 2017 Author Members Share Posted November 18, 2017 Washington Post: By day, he was a clerk to a federal judge, a Harvard Law School graduate at the start of his career. By night, he was a ghost hunter and a devotee of the macabre. Brett Joseph Talley is now President Trump’s nominee for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench as a U.S. District Court judge in Alabama. Few in memory have been nominated with credentials quite like those of Talley, 36, an Alabama native, a political speechwriter, an author of horror books and a fledgling lawyer who has never tried a case. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/law-clerk-by-day-ghost-hunter-by-night-now-trumps-judiciary-nominee/2017/11/17/518b66a8-ca51-11e7-b244-2d22ac912500_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-more-top-stories-2_ghostjudge-335p%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.011984210a52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyOz Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 When I read about this guy earlier, I started to boil. I was so upset. I kept telling everyone to vote even if they didn't love Hillary for this reason only. This is truly going to be disastrous for our nation.

Members RA1 Posted November 19, 2017 Members Share Posted November 19, 2017 Appointing conservative Supreme Court Justices is one of the more important issues for which DT was elected. Right or wrong. Best regards, RA1 MsAnn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards, RA1 But there is this small technicality that DT was 'elected' by (1) the queerness of the Electoral College (HRC won the popular vote by 20,000,000+), and (2) Putin's -- very effective -- meddling on social Medea.
