Supreme Court Conservative May Soon Retire

Posted On 20 Jun 2016

If Republicans know what’s good for them, they will begin framing the 2016 election in the terms that really matter for the future of the United States. Because regardless of what you may think of Donald Trump as a person or a candidate – regardless of what you may think of his proposals or his manner of speech – he will almost certainly nominate conservatives to the Supreme Court. And when you cut through all the chaff, that may be the single biggest reason to go out and vote this November.

Because there’s no question what kind of Justices Hillary Clinton will appoint if given the opportunity. Even if she only gets one pick – to fill the seat vacated by the late Antonin Scalia – it will give us a majority-liberal Court and have dire ramifications for years to come. If she gets two, the situation could go from unfortunate to dire. More than that, and we could see this country change in fundamental ways that could forever plot the course for generations to come.

This week, Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner reported that Justice Clarence Thomas, one of the Court’s most reliably conservative votes, is contemplating retirement. That would give Hillary her two picks, and it would give the Supreme Court a 6-3 liberal majority. Bedard mentioned that Justice Anthony Kennedy may also be nearing retirement; he will celebrate his 80th birthday next year. That’s three, and it would give the Court a 7-2 liberal majority, assuming that Clinton gets to pick their replacements.

If our country survived two terms of President Obama, we can probably survive just about any Democrat in the White House. But there’s a difference between surviving bad foreign and domestic policy and surviving a huge Supreme Court ideological shift. Hillary Clinton’s liberal Court could remain dominant long after we’ve forgotten the bad policies of her presidency.

Over the next few years, the Supreme Court could easily make decisions regarding the Second Amendment, immigration policy, the extent of the president’s power, abortion, religious freedom, and more. The wrong decisions could alter our way of life drastically.

If you haven’t been able to bring yourself to support Trump up until now, forget about voting for him in November. Put it out of your mind. When you step up to the ballot box, vote for a conservative Supreme Court. This election is simply too important for any conservative to stay home.

  Hillary can be eliminated as a candidate immediately.. Easy.. Some nut case just shoot her fat lard ass in the head. I cannot do this, I WOULD NOT DO THIS, even if I could. .as to say, it was permitted. But.. a nut case can take care his nut business and put one in her lard ass. I have NEVER felt such an alarming apprehension, a foreboding, as I feel and I “sense” about this women. The only thing I can and do perceive about my “feelings”, my “senses” about her is that she has the Demon Satan in her. I hear she is a lesbian. I also read and hear that she is a total Clinical Sociopath. Well, that is the same as a Psychotic. And.. the “people” want this in our Presidency? Somebody explain to me why this is, and who are these who support her and will vote for her? Beats me.
  - EH
    
    Perhaps they think she will be the winner . .. many people vote for who they perceive will be winners (they limit their reading to perceived “like-thinking news” and want to be one of the crowd) .
    
    Also, these would be people who are mentally lazy or lack the ability to analyze. Another response would be such people believe they would receive more economic and life support from voting her in.
    
    Unfortunately, there are too many people in this country with these shared qualities.

      Your opinions come from your belief system what ever that is. There are 2 types of opinions one has a factual foundation and the other has no foundation……just an opinion that resulted from filtering out what doesn’t fit your predetermined beliefs.

If Hillary wins and picks the next 2 or 3 SCOTUS judges, the Bill of Rights (OUR FREEDOMS) will surely die forever. America is under attack from socialistic and communistic idealism . THIS MUST NOT HAPPEN.
- Americanone
  
  Possible second revolution is brewing. Our constitution allows for the dissolution of a tyrannical government should the government become to powerful and try to take control of the people.
  - R G
    
    Lets hope it never gets to that level (cause its almost there now). Thats why im telling those people even if you don’t like Trump , the alternative is ….. just to dangerous to consider .
  - Texas Belle
    
    That is already happening while the Republicans sit by and fiddle.
- contrary1
  
  Well, assuming the Senate remains at it’s current balance, no new Supreme Court justice will be appointed during her term of office, assuming that she’s elected.
  - Glennie Millard
    
    And do you believe that America can wait eight years to approve Supreme Court justices? Because that is how long the democrats are going to be in the White House! Hillary will serve two terms! Yeah!
    - contrary1
      
      No, I believe that the Senate should have done it’s job and held hearings on Judge Garland rather than acting in their obstructionist way in violation of the constitution. Sad state of affairs this country is in today.
- Glennie Millard
  
  We are burdened now, because the Republicans are reversing all the progress that we made. The Taliban treats women better than conservatives do. They do not want them (women) to have health care or control over their own bodies.
  - R G
    
    The taliban treat their women like slaves /property. Women have NO RIGHTS whatsoever. You are either VERY misinformed , insane , or stupid. Where are you getting your facts from ?
    - Glennie Millard
      
      It is sarcasm. You see how you reacted? Social Security, meals in the schools, education, Planned Parenthood, Affordable care act. These are the things that the working class and poor folks need. Every time I come on these sites I see conservatives trying to take away services. I know that the Taliban is awful. I said it to compare these conservatives and how they behave. They have not gotten over losing their slaves!
  - YesMan
    
    What the fuck are you talking about my wife and 2 daughters do not get treated worse than what they would under the taliban, your words just shows that the left is full of nut cases just like you. All three are Republican’s and they all have health care and control of they’re bodies, maybe the difference between them and you is they don’t believe in murderering babies, that’s nothing to do with the Republicans and it’s all about they’re belief in GOD and they’re non- belief in murder, especially in murderering innocent babies.
  - Texas Belle
    
    Good gracious, what in the world are you talking about? The Republicans have reversed nothing. They have sat by while Obama has changed this country into a 3rd world nation while importing thousands of Muslims, many of whom are radical extremists who want to blow us up. How many women have Republicans stoned to death, whipped in public, made to wear those crazy burkas, made to walk 4 paces behind a man, refused to allow women to drive, refused young girls to be educated, taken girls as young as 12 as wives and require them to obey men? Get your facts straight.

  If we can be sure the voting machines won’t be tampered with she probably will never get close The Chair.
  Like the article says, if nothing else Trump would guarantee better picks for the SCOTUS. I’d want to see him get in for at least one term for that reason alone.
Steven Coy

we , America will not exist if we have 4 years of another Marxist Muslim loving Traitor Hillary Clinton or even Bernie the lifetime Liberal/Marxist and his incredabally insane policies which will shoot our National Debt past $30 Trillion dollars with (FREE) education and Medical. Who the hell do you think will pay for this insanity, there is nothing free, our government thinks rain is not ours now, its aginst the law in
Colorado to collect rain water. The demoRAT voter is insane putting another Marxist Hillary in to continue Obaminations destruction of our Constitution and Bill of Rights!!!! She is a murderer and has committe Espionage with her ILLEGALOPEN SERVER WITH 2200 CLASSIFIED AND 23 TOP SECRET GOVERMENT EMAILS SENT TO HER ILLEGAL OPEN SERVER AND SHE PERSONALLY SENT 123 CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS HERSELF. IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IT CHECK ‘JUDICIAL WATCH” THEY HAVE THE GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS AND EMAILS THAT HILLARY DIDN’T DELETE AND PROVES SHE IS A TRAITOR AND HS BEEN HACKED BY A FOREIGN AGENT!!!!! SO YOU DEMOrats WILL VOTE FOR A PIECE OF SHIT LIKE HILLARY OR BERNIE, YOU ARE THE TRUE DEFINITION OF INSANITY!!!! WANT TO KNOW HOE GOOD OBAMINATION AND HILLARY HAVE DONE JUST CHECK OUT “USDEBTCLOCK.ORG” YOU WILL SEE BY THE SECOND HOW WELL THIS COUNTRY IS AND HOW MUCH THE PAST 7 1/2 YEARS HAVE DONE FOR AMERICA. LOOK AT THE $1.2 TRILLION INTEREST WE HAVE PAID ON OBAMINATIONS MASSIVE SPENDING AND NOTICE THAT WE ARE UP 74% HIGHER TAXES AND ARE STILL $500 BILLION NEGATIVE EVERY YEAR ON OUR NATIONAL DEBT. DEMO-RATS WE CAN’T EXIST IF WE HAVE EITHER ONE OF THESE MARXISTS, DON’T GE ME WRONG I DON’T LIKE TRUMP I WANTE THE ONLY TRUE CANDIDATE TED CRUZ WHO HAS STOOD UP TO THE RHINO POLITICIANS AND HAS WON IN THE SUPREME COURT FOR US THE AMERICAN CITIZENS, BUT I WILL VOTE .AGAIN FOR THE BEST OF THE WORST TRUMP. WE CAN THEN GET A SUPREME COURT THAT ABIDES BY OUR CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS AND WE WILL RETAIN OUR 1ST, 2ND AND 4TH AMENDMENTS WHERE HILLARY AND BERNIE WILL DESTROY ALL THREE. REMEMBER THESE TWO WILL FLOOD THIS COUNTRY WITH ILLEGAL ALIENS (NOT IMMIGRANTS) AND SYRIAN REFUGEES TERRORISTS!!!!! VIETNAM VET
- Elizabeth Whitehouse
  
  You are obviously very worried about what another Democrat in the White House will do to the country, and if the things you write about were even half true, you would be right to worry.
  
  However, your statements, claims and accusations bear little resemblance to facts. Hillary is neither a Marxist nor a Muslim lover. She is an out and out Capitalist and a huge supporter of Israel at the expense of the Palestinians, both reasons why I do not support her. Bernie’s free education would be paid for by a small fee on stock exchange transactions (meaning that hedge fund managers and other speculators would pay most), while single payer healthcare would be like Medicare for all. Without insurance companies taking exhorbitant premiums and drug companies gouging the public, it would be considerably cheaper than any options available now.
  
  It has been against the law to collect water in Colorado since the 19th century. Nothing to do with the government. Although I have asked many times, no one is able to specify how Obama is destroying the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
  
  Hillary’s server may have been unwise, but it was not illegal. And it was not hacked, although it seems that the company hosting it had some issues with a few of their customers data.(and I got that information from The Blaze). The US government, on the other hand, has been hacked more than once, probably by the Chinese.
  
  I think we can all agree that the country is living beyond its means, as one would say of a household. The disagreement comes with what can be done about that.
  - Glennie Millard
    
    I wish Hillary had you on her side.
    - Elizabeth Whitehouse
      
      Thank you for the compliment. Hillary will almost certainly be the next President, but there is so much discontent with the current political system, that it should not be an easy victory. She may be better than Trump, but she is not what the country needs.
      
      I am hoping that there are enough dissatisfied votes looking for another option that neither major party candidate gets the required electoral college votes. There may be considerable chaos if that were to happen, but at least the politicians would have to consider that the current electoral system needs revising.

Justice Thomas, Please wait to retire until after the elections and after this failed President and his Staff have been replaced by real Americans, who understand the Constitution and Bill of Rights and not those who are following the philosophy of the Koran! Thank you!
- Glennie Millard
  
  “Real Americans?” I wonder who they are? The daughters of the American Revolution? The KKK? Tell me Mr Marine! Did you serve this country with only Caucasians? Check your ancestry, where did you come from? Because there were folks here when the Mayflower limped into these parts. The natives fed them with wild turkeys and pumpkins, thus our Thanksgiving. Had it not been for that, they would have died, and maybe another group would have ventured by.
  - Texascat
    
    Caucasian hating racist.
  - meangreenMarine
    
    Real Americans have real Birth Certificates and real Socisl Security numbers along with an appreciation of the Constitution and Bill of Rights! Obama has NONE of these criteria!
    - Glennie Millard
      
      Are you literal or figurative? Someone would never run for president of the USA without credentials?
  - meangreenMarine
    
    Your comments are ludicrous! A real American is one who believes in the Constitution and the Bill of rights! You’re the one with the racist comment! I served, Madam, in a Service that was not concerned about the color or our Marines, only their training, competence, character, Integrity, and honor! I’m proud of every Marine that I served with and could always count on their courage and concern regarding the accomplishment of the mission and the welfare of their fellow Marines! You wouldn’t make a dirt clot on the bottom of their boots!

Trump is unfit to pick any body, but problem is that person will be so irrational and incompetent that our already screwed up justice system will be totally corrupt. Trump as President will be a curse to America.

  You musta been a curse to your parents.

It is about SCOTUS picks. Trump will ick conservatives and do some good straightening out the country. Hilary will be able to destroy the Constitution with 3 picks . With Ogayarabs two picks and Hilarys, we will have 30 plus years of liberalization of our country and destruction of rights
becompassionate

Last I read, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas BOTH said that he has no plans to retire.

Dang let’s hope Thomas doesn’t retire before the election. This would give the liberals two more justices to dump the Constution and make their own laws. If this does then we the people must demand Term Limits for these judges without T L we might as well get ready for communism as that’s the liberals goal.
P. Kathy Kleiman

She will win, and by a rigged election, just as Obama’s last election is still a mystery…we at NumbersUSA know exactly who won in the last election and it was neither he nor Romney. What the media can do to you is amazing. They make and break winners or losers. We sent our questionnaires that asked “Who did you vote for: Obama, Romney or Other?” Other won out every time. So, this year we sent out more questionnaire’s asking “who did you vote for? And one name came up more than 89% of the time. But before telling you, the media never showed his young supporters and his arenas full of attendees. They called him a ‘cracked pot’ and that a vote for him would be taking that vote away from another…Uhh, that is what I thought the reason we voted was for, to take votes away from one to give to another of our liking. They asked him a grand total on 2 count them 2 questions in the major debate for the Republican nominee, but he was an independent. His name I will give you now and this is sourced and proven by NumbersUSA…RON PAUL. Yep. So, the election was stolen on massive scale by the huge uprising at the Mt. Olive and Mt Carmen cemeteries the night of the elections. You tell me how a little know Jr. Senator from Chicago, with a weird sounding name, and with Communist overtones. He told us what he was going to do. Any idiot would have to ask himself/OK herself/ just why would anyone what to ‘fundamentally change’ the greatest and freest country on the planet? And who would go for this…twice. You got it, the founders warned us of what an uninformed and an unarmed citizenry would get us. Despotism. They had a shared experience with despotism and if you ask anyone who fought the British the answer 99% of the time would be “The Americans” which would, of course, be the wrong answer. BRITISH SUBJECTS UNDER DESPOTISM FOUGHT THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. And no, the ‘Founders’ did not write the Constitution…that would be Thomas Jefferson and James Madison is the Father of the Constitution because it was due to his unceasing battles with separate states to get it into law. So, something you will not learn in school. Thanks for reading. P. Kathy Kleiman

Before Trump can become Pres., we MUST impress upon the leading Republicans that if they continue or even consider supporting Hitlerie in order to deny Trump the Office, then we, the peoe MUST vote them out of office and xeclare them traitors!
CONCERNED TEXAN

First, we need term limits for Supreme Court Justices, and second, ALL Supreme Court Justices first need to be licensed, practicing attorneys. Right now, anyone can be appointed to the Supreme Court, and don’t need to be a licensed practicing attorney! The United States of America absolutely does not need Hillary Clinton (and Bill) in the United States Government, and certainly not, never, as President of this country! Maybe, hopefully, with Trump this country can be saved, and returned to its once greatness. Just my personal opinion…
mary murphy

Where does this Hitler stuff come from? Please explain it to me.
Spoko

I believe that it makes no difference who you vote for. Especially after the last two elections.
Big money and the government they control have put, and again will put, whomever they want in the White House. And the lying, murdering, scum Clinton is their best bet to continue dividing the people and turning them against each other.
There is NO TWO PARTY system in Washington DC.
They call themselves reps. or dems. to more easily keep the people divided.
If we had no party affiliations to deal with. And everyone voted for who they thought was the best candidate, we could once again have a government “of, by, and for the people.”

Vote Trump! He is the closest to an honest person we have and because he isn’t a brain washed politician.

I wonder just how many of the previous voices heard have family or relatives that are receiving Soc. Sec., M/M, health insurance, etc. that they would like to see them without such services. Because if you put a Republican candidate in the WH you are guaranteed to see Soc. Sec. be put on Wall St. just waiting for a crash. Drug prices stay high. M/M payments decreased, $12,000 vouchers instead of health insurance. And almost guaranteed another war on a credit card because if we don’t have enough money for job creation where is the money for a war? And this middle school vocabulary some of you use…….grow up.
YesMan

He’s afraid a clinton, obama a socialist liberal democRAT will murder him.
Texas Belle

God help us if Hillary gets to appoint even one Supreme Court Justice, much less three or more. Nothing is more important than getting more conservatives on the Court because they will serve for many years and will be able to thwart the liberal agenda of the Democrats.
