SCJ's should be elected. not appointed. 

I disagree. No judge should be elected. I do think that the current appointment process is very flawed, though. 

let me clarify. under the current corrup rules they get nominated and confirmed under. no party in power should be able to change the rules of how they get appointed. 

that being said, i ahve always thought that it was weird that a judge ran for his seat. however, it does mean they get held to account for the decisoins they render.

There are certain states where judges are elected officials.  No federal judges are elected, they are nominated and confirmed.

this I know. I remember seeing ads during daytime tv when I was a teen for this local judge and against that local judge. thought it was odd, since it works much differently in canada.

If the SCOTUS worked the way it's supposed to, there wouldn't be all these split votes at all. Clearly those judges aren't doing their jobs properly (or at least about half of them aren't).

But the country is about 52-48 split on most issues so it is actually working perfectly.

Well, I know where you stand in this forum now, but my response for everyone else is: That isn't how it's supposed to work. Justice and law under the Constitution should not be a matter of opinion or politics. So it is working the exact opposite of perfectly. The Supreme Court is completely broken thanks to partisanship, and some of those judges should be ashamed of themselves. I've surprised they can sleep at night.

So you're a believer in his "private sector business skills"?

it takes a special kind of person to declare bankruptcy 6 times.  that has to be an elite group.

It takes a special kind of person to succeed out of bankruptcy that many times. That is a super elite group. Considering your country (and most) are teetering on the edge of bankruptcy that elite kind of skill might just come in handy.

His stupid reality show is what saved him. 

It sure did. Knowing when to pivot is key.

Lol. I forgot about that.

NBC/Marist polls: Independents break away from Trump, GOP

For all of the attention on polls showing President Trump retaining clear support from Republican voters, there’s maybe a more important set of numbers to watch heading in November’s midterm elections – Trump and the GOP’s standing with independents.

And according to a trio of state polls released by NBC News and Marist College, these independent voters are breaking away from the president and the Republican Party.

In Arizona’s poll — which shows Democrat Kyrsten Sinema ahead of her possible GOP opponents by double digits – Sinema leads Republican Martha McSally by 17 points among independent voters, 49 percent to 32 percent.

In Ohio – where Democrat Sherrod Brown is up 13 points — the Democratic senator enjoys a whopping 21-point lead over Republican Jim Renacci among indies, 51 percent to 30 percent.

And in Florida — where Democrat Bill Nelson is ahead by just 4 points (which is within the poll’s margin of error – the Democrat’s lead over Republican Rick Scott among independents is 9 points, 50 percent to 41 percent.

And it’s not just the horserace numbers. Trump’s job rating among independent adults is below 40 percent in Arizona (36 percent), Ohio (37 percent) and Florida (39 percent).

Independent voters also prefer a Democratic-controlled Congress in these three states — D+2 in Arizona, D+6 in Ohio and D+8 in Florida.

Additionally, fewer than one-in-three indie adults say Trump deserves re-election — 29 percent in Arizona, 31 percent in Florida and 32 percent in Ohio.

And maybe most significantly of all, independent voters by double-digit margins — 14 points in Florida, 21 points in Arizona and 29 points in Ohio — say their vote in November will be a message to check and balance Trump rather than to pass his

Like I said, forget about his cult base. Trump can keep them.

I believe this is why Shuster wants to wait until midterms to elect a new Supreme court judge.

I am not making this shit up. 

Last night on Anderson Cooper's show CNN Jeff Zeleny was reporting from the Trumpito rally in Fargo North Dakota, pre-dictator rant.  Over his shoulder the place looks crowded but the assembled are not hooting and hollering...they're just standing there.

What's on the PA?  Sympathy for the Devil.  Like concert level loud.  Zeleny had to yell over SFTD.  They had to adjust the audio when AC threw him a question. 

How much more explicit does it have to be?  Jesus H. Christ
