Right-Wing Supreme Court Coming!

[Lucky]

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:

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!

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.

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.

Appointing conservative Supreme Court Justices is one of the more important issues for which DT was elected.  Right or wrong.

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.

This is a republic, not a democracy.

Actually, a plutocracy and an oligarchy.

But who's counting anyway?

Sorry, was it actually 2,000,000?

Those darned zeroes!

That is what the US boys said about the Mitsubishi.
