Pudd’nhead Trump nominates Neil Gorsuch for Supreme Court Jester

According to the Mail, Gorsuch founded a club called “Fascism Forever” at the elite all-boys prep school he attended.

That story is pretty much all over. Should make him more acceptable with anti-abortion groups.

Hmm. In the “six-boy pyramid,” Neil was a bottom!

Well “all over” appears to mainly be the Mail, IBT and Raw Story. I’ll wait before I buy in but I will note he was under 18 when this would have happened.

Fake news.

According to my conservative friends whenever I try to debunk something, snopes.com isn’t always accurate. And they lean left.

:smiley:

Well…It may be incorrect, but as the story explains, it is not hard to see where some people may have gotten the mistaken impression that he founded such a club, since he apparently said in yearbook that he did. It turns out that he was making a joke…basically playing on his perception of the perception of him by those at the school who will much more liberal than he was.

Oh crap :smiley:

So, the hearings start next week.

At the moment the next article under that Onion but is How To Avoid Falling For Marketing Gimmicks
And though not related to Cabinet etc. appointments, there is the most chilling coincidence evah…

Be a savvy consumer. Do your research rather than trusting your local circus barker’s claims that no other wonders on earth could compare to the oddities found in his freak show.

Spooky.

There’s no way that the Democrats can stop Gorsuch, but when Trump’s America collapses and the country rewards democrats with a president and a super majority, it needs to add two more justices along ideological lines and overpower the conservative majority. And maybe impeach a conservative or two on the bench just for good measure.

The filibuster is still in place for Supreme Court nominees.

And make America a one party state. And ban Fox News.

Batter up. Hearings start Monday.

I am looking forward to the confirmation hearings tomorrow as well.

Chuck Grassley, the Republican chairman of the Judiciary Committee, is definitely going to give him a warm opening, and point to his vast legal expertise and background Harvard Law, as well his community service in the Harvard Public Defender program.

Dianne Feinstein, the ranking Democrat, as well as Al Franken and Dick Durbin are probably going to go at him the hardest, if we’re judging from history. Anyway, we’ll know by tomorrow. Grab your popcorn.

He also picked up a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Law (Legal Philosophy) from University College, Oxford in 2004 for research on assisted suicide and euthanasia.

And then we can start filling up the FEMA camps!

All members of the Senate Judiciary Committee are making their opening statements on C-SPAN2.

Ya think that this nomination is going to go “nuclear”?
