Having survived four days of contentious confirmation hearings, it appeared that Judge Brett Kavanaugh might just manage to squeak by with the smallest of margins and earn a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court, despite the fact that he appeared to have contradicted himself under oath on more than a few occasions when questioned by […]
On Monday evening, Donald Trump announced his nominee to serve on the Supreme Court as the replacement for retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy. Trump showered Judge Brett Kavanaugh with praise and claimed he was the most qualified candidate for the job. But it now appears that questions about Kavanaugh’s personal finances may wind up sinking his […]
It’s so much fun to watch as Republicans prove just how incredibly craven and hypocritical they are when it comes to appointing justices to the United States Supreme Court. One of the worst hypocrites is Utah Senator Orrin Hatch, who appeared as a guest on CNN Monday morning and was asked about the fact that […]
Donald Trump has absolutely no respect for the American judicial system, and he has proven this repeatedly. Whether he’s taking pot shots at the judge in the Trump University trial (which Trump later settled for $25 million) or hurling insults at the federal judge who put a halt to his Muslim ban, Trump is fond […]

The perfect example of that was on display earlier this morning on MSNBC […]
Some may criticize me for sharing these hilarious death memes that feature Justice Antonin Scalia, but I don’t really care. Reportedly Justice Scalia had a great sense of humor, so I say we laugh now and realize that all of us are going to die one day, too. Until then, we should have fun and […]
Donald Trump, hoping to curry some last-minute favor with evangelical voters in Iowa, announced today on “This Week” that if elected, he would be sure and only appoint Supreme Court justices would be willing to overturn marriage equality, which was just ruled Constitutional last year by the current nine justices. Since the Supreme Court could […]
I don’t want to alarm anyone, but feel it’s my duty to report the news. And the news is very grim today because according to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, the Constitution of the United States is dead. Yep, he actually said that. Scalia, speaking at Southern Methodist University earlier this year, flat out declared […]
