Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Excellent thread?!?!
It starts with a big mistake: “In 2016, the Democrats held the Presidency and the House.”. The Dems lost the House in 2011. In 2016, the Repubs were controlling the House and the Senate.
I most assuredly will not be invited to Ginsberg’s funeral, but I approve of it highly.
Why the hurry & gashing of teeth?… The Court is now 5 to 3 and any attempt to use the Courts for MAIL-IN fraudulent Voting is DOA…..All those Biden Democrat Lawyers are spinning their wheels and shit out of LUCK
Hell we can go for 4 Years…. 5 to 3 ….and the second (2) amendment is solid…….
IT is done!!!!!!, be happy..
It needs to be ground in, them stomped on for lefties to get the message
Plus that, your numbers are off, one or more of the Conservative judges has turned and spit in the face of the public on more than one occasion. (See Obama care legislstion)
Yeah, sure. Does Chief Justice Roberts look reliable to you?
Thread winner! Roberts’ track record suggests he’s been compromised and is unreliable. He was nominated by Bush, so, Squish!
Have you been paying attention, the court is split because of faux conservatives, 4/4.
Despite being asked several times by Obama to retire, Ginsburg gambled on Hillary becoming President thinking it would make for a nifty capstone on her impressive judicial career. Her mindset was… nominated to the SCOTUS by a Clinton and retire while a woman held the highest office of the land and a Clinton to boot. She rolled the dice and lost bigly.
Poor thing. I’m sure her aides had to get the paddles out when she learned Trump won.
Also three Justices in 45 days, including RBG…

The temptation is to wait until after the election because 100 women are going to claim that they were raped by whatever woman he nominates but her vote might be need to overcome the massive Democrat fraud everyone is expecting.
Best comment in the Thread:
“..no excuses ? see Kavanuagh and the made up excuses not to confirm. After what they did to him i say no mercy…”
1000% agree.
As so often said: Appeasing you enemies does Not EVER make them your friends.
The Democrats have already declared war. Damn the torpedoes. Full speed ahead Mr. President.
When the Republicans started yapping about the “Thurmond Rule” in 2016, they set themselves up to for this very problem in 2020. They now cannot insert a new SCJ without looking like enormous hypocrites.
Who cares, other than you and a bunch of leftists?
Goose, meet gander, pot meet kettle, yadda yadda yadda.
Your average voter might care. You know, the ones who decide who wins or loses office.
Who cares, other than you and a bunch of leftists?
Goose, meet gander. Pot, meet kettle. yadda yadda yadda.
I’ve never been impressed with arguments that run “Well yeah it’s dirty politics, but the others guys do it too.” That’s a recipe for having no one worthy of my vote.
Yours is a recipe for defeat. The Dems are looting and burning, and encouraging it, and you worry about playing nice with them. I think you’re one of them.
I think yours is a recipe for defeat. The idea that integrity won’t work is nonsense, a pathetic excuse to behave badly.
“I think you’re one of them.”
What I am is someone who refuses to support “his side” no matter what. Knee-jerk partisanship is the tactic of a fool. Yeah, that means you.
Killer, integrity is no longer on the table.
The Republican held Senate…those who matter in these decisions, picked up some extra seats in 2018, in effect giving a little more heft for Trump and his mandate. That said…the key is to have control of the Presidency and the Senate which is kind of a big deal when it comes to considering SCOTUS nominees. Y’know…”Democracy”… “Checks and Balances”, stuff like that.
The “Thurmond Rule” or “Biden Rule” depending on your political bend of course should be reclassified as “myths”.
Further – I doubt Republicans need lectures from Democrats about hypocrisy.
The Republicans controlled the Senate and would not have approved Garland so they didn’t even go through the motions. Subtle distinctions are not hypocrisy. Shocking that politics play a role in this, isn’t it?
Obama thought he could slip one by them. The media helped, or at least tried to help by branding Garland as a “moderate”. Yeah, sure he is. Nice try. Garland is nothing of the sort.
tommy, the Dims set the standard with Kavanaugh, so let them eat cake
RGB Dead ! Guess she’ll be voting by mail this year.
I’m glad our Supremes have a mandated retirement.
Or as a man famous for sharply creased pants said “Elections Have Consequences”
All well and good … but what about Romney? And Murkowski? And Collins? These rogue Senators could allow their TDS to trump our country’s future. I will NEVER forgive you Utahan’s for putting that utter CREEP, Romney into the Senate.
They are now the most dangerous people in America and also the most evil.
Republicans hold the Senate 53-47. If those three vote against it is a tie, and then Vice President Mike Pence will cast the tie breaking vote.
Understood. However … with the record of PDJT … and all the amazing GOOD he’s done for America …the Republicans should be ALL be supporting his nominee … it shouldn’t be close.
And … I’m worried about Lindsey Graham … he’s up for re-election … and may hold up the Senate confirmation … so he doesn’t get hit with the negative Press.
It’s all more tenuous than it should be. Trump has been a REVELATION to this country! A miracle of a traditional, Constitution-loving President. Our country has endured a long string of anti-American (Bushes included) Presidents. PDJT has been a breath of fresh air. A gasping recovery from the choking our country has taken. We almost had a Epstein pulled on our country. Our hyoid bone was broken … but we are recovering under Trump!
You know, what really bugs me is that we assume no Democrat would confirm. Of course, that assumption was true for Kavanaugh. While known far left unqualified lefties like Kagan are routinely confirmed with some Republican support. 4 for Kagan, 9 for Sotomayor. Ginsberg got in with a slam dunk, 96-3.
Why can Democrats be out and out partisan and not Republicans?
Why are Republicans expected to nominate “moderates” and denounced for nominating conservatives, while Democrats routinely nominate the farthest left jurist they can find, and if they cannot, someone like Kagan without a single day’s experience on the bench? She doesn’t even believe in the Constitution. She uses EU laws in her arguments.
I think Romney and Murkowski are hopeless. Collins and Graham have said things that lead one to believe they will confirm, everything else being equal. It will be good if we can get both their votes, and don’t need Pence’s tiebreaker.
Pure election theatre.
President Trump will troll the Demons into a fantastic frenzy of hate,insanity and bigotry,the appointment of a new Supreme on the cusp of an election is pure gold for the Master Showman.
1 Promises made,promise kept.
2 Demon-rats will be incapable of selling themselves as agents of Law,order and Good Government,as they hurl absurd charges and slander against whomever is nominated,thus enraging Trumps base and accelerating the Walk Away democrats.
3 The Media,accurately labelled Fake Newz,will also go further insane as they amplify Progressive lies and innuendo.
4 The Uni-Party Slime,AKA Swamp creatures,will thrust themselves into the limelight,further convincing voters they face treason from both sides.
Trump is not wrong when he tells voters,they are not seeking to destroy him as much as they seek to destroy the American Dream and all who support it.
The free citizen.
I’m certain that Amy Barett has never raped anyone.
At least as certain of Kavanaugh as well.
Dems would shove their nominee through in record time if they controlled both POTUS and the Senate.
Obama tried just that in 2016 with his Garland pick, but alas, despite his protestations and incantations, Dems were minority in Senate.
Pure party politics. McConnell can easily laugh off claims about hypocrisy while they pretend innocence. No majority, no confirmation.
We are seeing another example of milquetoast Republicans, three outliers in the Senate, still thinking they must play fair (by suckers’ rules).
They are a greater threat to the GOP than the Marxist addled dinosaurs of old rich people guiding transformation to nirvana.
As the late Justice Ginsburg said herself on this matter regarding POTUS and Senate: “That’s their job. There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the president stops being president in his last year.”
Oh, but she was only talking about Garland and Democrat nominees? That’s a tough sell.
I understand she’s no longer available for clarification.
RIP Judge Ginsburg. You tried mightily to keep a Trump nominee out of your Court, but you have now handed him a gift.
All he has to do is try to get his nominee confirmed, no doubt a tall task, and he wins the debate, as lunatic Dems freak out everywhere.
Harry Reid’s elimination of the 60 vote confirmation requirement was a nice touch as well.
Thanks Harry. Awesome.
If the Dems ran out of rakes to step on they’d make their own.
Isn’t that the truth … every time I watch Godfather II … and see the scenes of the doofus Nevada Senator disparaging greasy EYE-talians and Mafiosos … then getting set up with a dead hooker in a hotel room … I think … Harry Reid!! Full of false bravado … and inadequate intellect. Let alone, scruples
Remember that scene quite well. One of my favorites.
Oh, good ol Dirty Harry……
He is also featured, as is his normal duplicitous self, in the movie CASINO.
He is shown screwing over DeNiro’s character, denying him a Casino license, using an obnoxious quick step maneuver. Though it is good to see ol Bob get screwed over, always remember, Hollyweird takes artistic license to exaggerate everything.
Dick Smothers played that part didn’t he? So sleazy …
Democrats, Liberals and RINO’s use the letter of the laws of the land to politic. They twist and manipulate the laws and have no regard for the “spirit” of the law. They are always looking for weasel ways around the laws to impose the breakdown and tearing of the fabric which has been the strength and beauty of a peaceful and respectful society.
The whining and moaning of the left has been for the demanding of “their” rights to be enshrined and never questioned, for they are the keepers of truth and all things the way they ought to be.
The left have demanded the breakup of the traditional family, abortion(murder) on demand, the sexual and drug revolution, the elimination of God and all references of Him from the public square.
They are diligent to place their candidates and judges and officials in seats of power, they are usually compromised and controlled, forced into decisions which are in line with evil.
Trump has the opportunity to call their bluff, make a choice for the SCOTUS who will be a dynamic and unwavering American Constitutionalist. For the betterment of America and the World.
Why McConnell is not a hypocrite for going ahead with a replacement.
https://pjmedia.com/columns/tyler-o-neil/2020/09/19/3-reasons-mitch-mcconnell-is-not-a-hypocrite-for-considering-trumps-potential-rbg-replacement-n944776
I see no reason for any other explanation than “It is within the law and the President and the Senate can do so if they wish, so get bent.”
The Democrats created the new rules, and the new rules are “decency and the opinions of mankind be damned, power is everything.” The people who have fomented and encouraged riots and murders; who excuse the excesses of domestic terrorists no different from the Sturmabteilung and the Red Guards; who conducted the most appalling fabricated character assassinations of Republican SCOTUS nominees; and who launched and for four years sustained a Deep State coup against the elected president of the US, have no credibility when speaking of decency or norms. “The mercy that was quick in us but late, by your own counsel is suppressed and killed. You must not dare FOR SHAME to talk of mercy, for your own reasons turn into your bosoms, as dogs upon their masters, worrying you.”
Nobody in their right mind wants a president who loses gracefully (apart from the NeverTrump grifters, who are in fact Democrats), because the operative portion of that phrase is “loses”. Trump succeeds because he succeeds. It might not be pretty but it’s victory. Gettysburg and Appomattox weren’t pretty either, but they saved the Union.
And a quick reality check for the pearl-clutchers: anyone who thinks that Pelosi, Schumer, Obama, and whomever is operating Joe Biden’s remote-control brain implant at the moment would hesitate for one femtosecond to nominate and ram through the confirmation of their own hard-left “living constitution” pro-abortion anti-gun pro-open borders pro-amnesty pro-burn/loot/murder pro-riot pro-surgically mutilating ‘gender-questioning’ four-year-olds neo-Marxist SCOTUS nominee in identical circumstances needs to give their head a shake. This isn’t politics; the Democrats have perverted that process beyond all recognition into something filthier and bloodier than trench warfare.
Well, so be it. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind, bitches.
