First he has to be approved, and then.. even if he is the tie-breaker.. Some of the other conservative judges may still think this is something they just don't want to muddy their hands on and choose not to hear.

I'm sure you would be thrilled if it was the other way around. Party before country.
That's not exactly a fair assessment is it? The republican party is acting on what it believes will be in the best interests for the country. You can call it a dirty move sure, in fact it is but I'll also say it was effective.

Except.. They arn't. I don't agree with Reagan, but I believed he was doing what he believed was best for the country. I didn't like George Bush Sr. But I think he was doing what He believed was best. But the current crop, they don't do what they think is right.. they are pandering completely to the Tea Party, or so far religious right that they are almost to the point of Cartoon characters. And Remember.. Hitler was doing what "He thought was right" if you want to go there.

Another good example would be Judge Frollo from Hunchback of Notre Dame

A lot of actions are done with "good intentions."

Can you imagine if the reverse ever happens and Democrats decide to not even consider a Republican appointee? The "brilliant strategy" would enrage conservatives, and rightly so. I hate hypocrites.

True but I was talking directly about your assessment of the issue. You implied that the choice was made to hurt the country in some way.

You genuinely believe only Democrats can be hypocrites? Both sides are more than capable. You are so far gone I feel sorry for you.

The now was meant to be a not (corrected before your response). My point is, the democrats are running around saying "imagine if we did that" my response is "bitch, you did do that" lol.

It is. Everything he has done so far has to hurt the country and line his own pocket.

Hahahahaha yeah the extreme vetting on 7 high risk countries with some form of radical Islamic terrorism running around, and the wall that may hurt a lot of his ventures in Mexico are really lining his pockets!

POTUS is putting America first!

Except none of those countries have any indication of terrorism. In fact the one we do know (and even then I won't go *EXTREME VETTING* on cause that makes no fucking sense) is one of the ones NOT on the list.. because -he- has businesses there.

Syria and Iraq?? Could make a slight case for Libya. Saudi Arabia is a little shady, I would have just banned Syria and Iraq TBH.

Either way with Trump having a spine, I think he and Putin are getting ready to grab ISIS by the pussy. This time they won't leave the oil to fund more terrorist activities.

You've lost me entirely. The quote you referenced is me pointing out hypocrisy of citizens praising shady tactics when it is a win for their team. What does that have to do with Republican politician motivations?
The words "Party before Country" made it seem like you were implying these people saw their political party as more important than their country. As in they would let something directly hurt the country before they'd let anything happen to their party.

I don't understand what a physical wall will prevent since it seems it'll be easily circumvented, but vetting makes more sense. Either way though, ISIS has been known to home grow terrorists within the US, so there's no fix all solution.

Also lets point out the irony of the 'he will not divide us' people and such.. They're only diving themselves, lmao. You may not like him but you should support the president and hope he does whats best. This two party system has gotten out of hand.
