The media and pundits are still treating Amy Barrett as the top dog, and most likely she is. Nevertheless, I am throwing my support behind Judge Lagoa. I think she would be a somewhat of a curve ball for the dems who have invested massive, massive amounts of energy into oppo research to bring Amy Barrett down, and to scare the their base with her known abortion positions. I think Lagoa is conservative on the same issues but without enough history to have a plethora of prior statements stuck up her arse. In addition, they can work their nastiness against Lagoa but the price they pay is knowing that Florida hispanics are brutally denigrating one of their own right before the election. That works for Trump and for me, although Lagoa will have to take one for the team as Kavanaugh did. And if he goes with Amy Barrett, it will only take me two minutes to be okay with that. I just think it is a good time to keep the dems off balance. As I have said they are running a covid-centric campaign and now this supreme court thing has them having to regroup. They think they have prepared for that by having done all their homework on Amy but I would take that away from them too by going with Lagoa. Also, and not that a single person asked, after what they did to Kavanaugh I could not give two shiites what some senators said back when Merrick Garland was being nominated or the other ten examples. Could not care less. As far as I am concerned, the Kavanaugh massacre reset the entire landscape. Trump and McConnel should just play to win based on how they think they can win. If it gets bloody, that is fine. If it gets even bloodier, even better. They should fix their bayonets and just do whatever needs to be done. The notion that, after Kavanaugh, we should be bound by something Lindsey Graham said years ago, or some heartburn that Merrick Garland had is absurd. Not even a consideration. They want to settle scores from Garland? Fine. I want to settle scores from Kavanaugh and getting Kavanaugh appointed and then taking "Ruthies seat" would work just fine for me. Oh, and have a nice day everyone.
I am hoping that Mr. Trump will give me a quick call later in the week. I would like to discuss the nomination of Judge Lagoa with him.
It would be good to have another hispanic on the court. There is a reason why I would prefer a hispanic of Cuban heritage rather than central american or the like. See if you can guess why.
This picture is amusing. Go through the immigration process to move/live in the United States for the Freedoms and Economic Stability it provides, and then spend the money to drive up to a historic landmark that supports the Founding Father's ideals and imagery, just to post a picture of your 60 IQ family giving the finger to the very Founders that created the country you longed to become a part of. That's brilliance for you.
Heh, if only that were the case. More likely their "immigration process" consisted of catch-and-release.
Trump says he has no plans to meet with Lagoa, and out of the five she would be number 2. So it is doubtful that he is meeting with 3,4, and 5 either unless he is playing his cards ultra, ultra close to his vest. So if he goes with conventional wisdom/Amy Barrett that would be the lefties worst nightmare incarnate. Alright fine. Helmets on. Major parts of the country will burn but that's okay. It will create more votes for Trump at the polls. And if he wins, well then, they can rinse and repeat. Mr. Trump, fulfill your constitutional duties.
