WOW!

Wow! I have learned to expect politicians to make great promises and fail to even remotely keep them. During the recent presidential campaign, I remember saying to people that if Trump only does half the things that he has promised, I would be happy. Yesterday he kept a solemn promise that he made. He promised to select a Supreme Court Justice in the mold of Antonin Scalia. He did precisely that. I am a true believer now. Donald Trump evidently ran for President in order to do the things that he said he would do. This is amazing. This is great. I wonder what all those so-called conservative, republican 'Never-Trumpers' are saying now. What more could we conservatives ask of our new president? The lefty libs are going crazy. The crazier they get, the more secure am I that this was a sterling choice. The New York Times wasted no time editorializing that this was a poor choice. Way to go New York Times, you are so predictable. When I heard Gorsuch speak last evening during the announcement, I was wildly  impressed. Wow!

SUPREMELY BAD CHOICE

Today is Tuesday, January 31st and President Trump is expected to make an announcement regarding his choice for the vacancy on the Supreme Court at 8PM Eastern Time. I am very hopeful that his choice will be a jurist who understands and respects the United States Constitution. I am very hopeful that his choice will be politically conservative. I am even hopeful that his choice will be a young man or woman, so that they can serve for many years. One thing is certain. If the choice is good, the left in this country will go absolutely bonkers. They will claim what they always claim. This candidate is outside the 'mainstream.' Mainstream is apparently defined as leftist. The candidate is likely to be called a far-right winger or perhaps a member of the 'alt-right' (whatever the heck that is).  It is certainly likely that the candidate will be called anti-union, anti-black or anti-gay,  It usually does not matter what the facts are. It is important that the left paint the nominee as the worst person ever.  Another thing is certain. The louder the lefties scream about this candidate, the more likely I am to approve of the candidate. Tonight when this nominee is announced, I hope the left is enraged. If they are not enraged, I likely will be. 

If the nominee is a supremely bad choice from the perspective of the leftists, it will be true that Donald Trump will have saved the Supreme Court which was hanging together by a lone fraying thread prior to election day last November.

SHORT LIVED RELIEF FROM A NIGHTMARE

I had been napping on Saturday afternoon with the TV on. I dreamt that Justice Antonin Scalia had passed away. I remember thinking, that this was extremely bad news for the conservative movement and amazingly bad news for America. I was still dreaming, when I dreamt that I had woken up and that this was not true. What a nightmare I thought. It was a great relief. Sadly, my dream actually ended when I really did wake up and learned that this news was true. I hope that what Senator Mitch McConnell said is true: that the next Supreme Court justice will be picked by the next President of the United States. God help us if that President is Hillary Clinton or self-described socialist, and full-time looney tune, Bernie Sanders. God help us if it is Donald Trump.  Trump has already indicated that he thinks his own sister would be a worthy selection. God Help us if Jeb Bush should get (somehow) elected. The Bush family does not always have a good track record with these things [Justice David Souter, Justice (Obamacare penalty is a tax, except when it is not, but it sometimes is a fine, except when it is not a fine - but a tax) John Roberts].  There is only one man who can be trusTED to make this selection.  His last name is CRUZ. Antonin Scalia was a national treasure. His opinions will be read for decades to come - that is, if we can hold onto this Republic which increasingly is sliding into fascism by the lefties who love diversity of skin color and HATE DIVERSITY OF THOUGHT.  

Justice Antonin Scalia, National Treasure
INTELLECTUAL GIANT, NEVER REALLY LOOKED LIKE A FITNESS ENTHUSIAST

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Saturday that the Senate should wait until a new president is elected to confirm a replacement for Justice Antonin Scalia, whose sudden death Saturday shook Washington and threatened to reshape the 2016 presidential race. 

Democrats said that with 11 months left in President Obama’s tenure, the Senate has enough time — and indeed an obligation — to confirm a replacement. Sen. Harry Reid, the top Democrat in the chamber, said it would be “shameful” to put off a replacement that long.

I am hoping that Mitch McConnell has the 'marbles' needed to make good on this statement. Regarding what Harry Reid said would be shameful. Harry Reid himself is shameful.  I am still waiting for him to explain who told him that Romney failed to pay his income taxes. When has Reid apologized for that shameful lie?
