NC_Skins 02-01-2017, 08:37 AM Shocking new!! Protesters are outside the supreme court protesting!
At this rate Trump will be able to say his presidency had the most protesters ever before the first 6 months are over.

They have every right to protest. This SCOTUS nomination was outright stolen from Obama. Gerrick Marland should be on the SCOTUS but wasn't even allowed a chance for damn near a year. I hope the Democrats realize now they can't play fair with the GOP, and they'll have to fight fire with fire as shitty as it is.

It is unreal. Either his supporters, (not you Cred as at least you are aware of the facts[the non- alternative ones]), are just unaware of recent history or completely full of shit. Or both.
They fought Obama for a freaking year, and want the red carpet rolled out immediately for Trumps pick????
I honestly believe that 70% of the people crying about the fight being put up about Trumps pick actually have no idea how this has all unfolded. Only thing worse than a hypocrite is an ignorant hypocrite.

I agree that the Republicans should have held hearings on Marland. A part of me wanted Trump to nominate him again to make the Democrats and Republicans freak out. (It was a small part of me, and i gave it a cupcake and it wandered off.)
Even had Marland gone to the full Senate, he wouldn't have been confirmed, so it isn't "stolen", but that doesn't minimize the wrong done by the Republicans in not holding hearings.
Chico23231 02-01-2017, 09:25 AM I enjoy the fact that green card holders are also barred from entering the US. Nothing says "we don't even trust the other branches of our gov't to properly vet potential immigrants" like banning them in addition to undocumented immigrants. You just know that will be repealed later and then the Dems are gonna eat it up like they made a difference. Meanwhile Trump sits there testing the limits of his powers while distracting us with bullshit.
Ive watched someone on NBC news say this wasn't true?
There is so much misinformation about the move...is it even a ban? nobody really knows.
Honestly, there is so much bullshit out there and folks are generally just making up stuff, write a bs article on the internet and pass it off as fact. The reason is the media doesn't fact check, basically whatever trump says just makeup whatever you need to go against it.

Well, I don't think protest is ever meaningless.
This is my favorite so far,....

The only difference between the Republicans last year, and the Democrats this time, is that during the election this was a major point for both parties, and the Republicans won. BUT, and this is the only time I will give credence to the popular vote, the fact that HC won the popular vote should have held some bearing on Trump's nominee. It clearly didn't as this was a pick to satisfy the strict conservative, and (hypocritical) Christian base. I understand why he had to make this pick, but if it was up to me, I would have gone with a choice that Democrats and Republicans (not the 1/3 of each party that's just rabid, but the sane ones) could come together on.
The problem with that, is a judge is basically either a "the constitution is what is", or a "the constitution is a living document" judge. That doesn't leave much in the way of compromise, but I would like to think that if you really looked you would find one.

I think the problem is that in the White House they are confused. Michael Flynn couldn't respond to his Canadian counterparts questions about the executive action and this the man who is supposed to be enforcing it. It looks pretty piss poor when the admins own team can't field these questions from inquiring governments. This is why there is so much confusion not journalist making stuff up.

Exactly this was a stick it to the right pick. And there was never an ounce of thought put into one that might help unify things. Trump is so hung up on his popularity that he is now in full battle mode with every action he takes. Has no intentions of unifying anybody. Good luck with that.
