Yay
Whew! As a Prolife woman, I am wiping tears tonight. Is it true? Has it only been a few weeks since RBG passed, President Trump chose Amy to be a justice on the Supreme Court, and tonight she will be a confirmed and sworn in by Justice Clarence Thomas? Is it real? Praise God! Pray for President Trump!!!
Yes, We finally have a voice!!!!
And on Hillary’s birthday too! ?
Feel same.. Amen! Keep praying for the re-election of our wonderful POTUS! ????
Alrighty Sidney Powell, please file your appeal to SCOTUS right after midnight!
Congratulations to Amy Coney Barrett!! We know that you will provide solid, objective decisions.
Such an exciting night for America! They think they are mad now? Just wait till next week. They are going to absolutely lose their minds when they see our incredible POTUS re-elected!!!
This is huge! 40 plus years of conservative rulings! Well done Mr President! Congrats Patriots!
The swearing in of Scotus Barrett will be outside at Whitehouse ?
It just keeps getting better…Tony Bobulinski on Tucker Carlson tomorrow at 8pm!
About time. After anticipation, better not be lame.
And since announcing it in advance, please get a bodyguard & a food taster.
Susan Collins MUST GO!
So, you want her opponent who is a far left progressive to take her place? Many of us are in the same position: in NC we must vote for Tillis, in SC they must vote for Graham…no choice…unless you want to hand the Senate to the Dems.
Of course not, but Is it too much too much for her to be defeated in a primary?
BTW, I have the same opinion about China Mitch.
Collins had no opponent in the primary.
Well, Maine Republicans must love her then….are they all like Collins?
Sorry. Republicans are elected for one thing. Judges. If you can’t vote YES on a qualified judge, then you don’t deserve to get re-elected, and she should be OUSTED. There’s no other reason to run as an R. Caucus with the Dems, then, but stop posing.
Agreed. However, in this political climate now, Collins should be re-elected and then she can retire during her term or be primaried.
But her Dem opposition CANNOT be elected this time around.
Exactly!
Collins was given permission by Mitch to vote no because she is in a tough election fight.
If a yes vote from Collins had been needed she would have voted yes.
Collins has leaned left for years. That’s like putting a band aid on a gaping wound. Mitch needs to go also.
I’m not gonna throw the baby out with the bath water.
Oh, no, you don’t mean the end-all was politics, do you? Precisely what POTUS is trying his damndest to change.
And the voters in Maine should do likewise.
Hello Jase,
Are you certain about that? I wouldn’t be surprised, since that’s often how such things work, but your comment is the first time I’ve heard this about Collins and the ACB confirmation vote.
It really doesn’t matter whether Collins stays or goes, she is a dependable Demoncrat vote.
I guess Palin’s threat to run against Murkowski made her fall in line. No matter, I hope former Governor Palin runs against the worthless Murkowski and does replace the empty pantsuit.

She could be primaried next time if she wins the election. But then the more conservative might not win the general in a state such as Maine unless the state has an ideological conversion. Someone here pointed that out a couple years ago on some of these squishy Republicans.
Is Gardner in Colorado going to win reelection? I wonder if Colorado is in play at all for POTUS.
She is the only repub senator to vote against cuz she’s behind in her race to an undemocratic marxist opponent and assumed it would get her votes from progressives. By your comment, it would seem u prefer she b replaced by a marxist. Really? Look at her aggregate voting record…
I think Collins had Cocaine Mitch’s go-ahead on this one, ‘cuz he knew he had the votes without her. Remains to be seen if her “nay” vote is fatal to her re-election bid.
Since she came through on Kavanaugh, I’d give her a pass if it means keeping the Senate. This is critical if we want VSGPDT to get more judges confirmed next term. If she’s re-elected, and still around in six years, we can hope she’s primaried at that time.
52 – 48
Sounds like a Trump Landslide
I really hope that Hillary Clinton is enjoying her birthday watching Amy Comey Barrett confirmed to the Supreme Court.
Trump – 2020
“Red Wave”
Just an observation. ACB is a strikingly pretty woman, but there is something in her face that makes me think having her angry with me would be a very unpleasant experience. I suspect she has to have a fair amount of grim sternness in her if she’s going to keep a household of 7 children in line!

We must have posted at the same time; got so excited I forgot to check to see if already posted.
The second photo: bwahahaha ?
I feel like Alabama just won the Iron Bowl. Woohoo! Roll Amy!
Oh boy this gets better by the minute. First the SC strikes down the ballot extension in WI, then ACB is confirmed (speech of 2020 by the Turtle, don’t miss!), and now this from James Taranto:

WINNING!
trouble posting the pic…
Is there some officiality to it, Roberts in joining the liberals?
I would love to see Justice Thomas as Chief.
Senior Justice writes the opinion if the Chief is a dissenter. .
Senior Justice on each side decides who writes the opinion. They sometimes assign another to author it and are just a contributor.
It’s incorrect to say we have a 6-3 conservative majority. Roberts is a politically driven turncoat.
I heard he’s compromised. A few trips to pedo island is what an insider told me.
Wouldn’t surprise me.
Yep I think that slip of tongue donna brazile I believe made about O’s database tagged with what we now know about the rampant spying and 3rd party contractor intel access explains allot of our self destructive 180 repubs.
Praise Almighty God!! ?
Amen! Amen! Amen!
Or any other SC decision. “Roberts you are irrelevant. Might as well retire and save face.”
WINNING!!!!

Zombie Marilyn Monroe just phoned this in to Hillary Clinton:
“Happy birthday, to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday Madam still not President.
Happy birthday. To. You.”
Apple News just accosted my iPhone with this gem: “The Senate has confirmed Amy Coney Barrett as a Supreme Court justice, just a week before the election.” As though there’s something wrong with it being “just a week before the election”. The bias is unrelenting, but we all see it and will hand deliver our retort on Re-Election Day.

Oh man!
Hillary must be bummed ?
Maybe I should send her a box of Play-Doh with some of PDJT’s tax cut from next year.
Compassionate Conservatism!
Justice Barret should thank the Senate Dems , and offer them free exorcisms.
I was just enjoying leftist tears on Twatter….. one thing that still amazes me is how many of them refer in reverence to Ruth Bader Ginsburd’s “dying wish” — screw that, no Justice gets to dictate their successor and it was not “RGB’s seat” it is The People’s Seat.
Oh but the Leftards are all wailing that “Republicans ignored RGB’s dying wish”…. what a wagonload of bull crap.
Leftard Marxist Socialist CryBaby Navel Gazing Idiots are Always Delusional.
With all due respect to Justice Ginsburg, I thank her for her Service and her Timing.
Man Proposes, G_d Disposes.
There are no perfect men or women, but G_d chooses the perfect outcome.
I hope the Liberal/Leftard world wails and moans for the next hundred years.
Is there any proof this was her wish? I have not seen any. Not that it matters.
This is a great day for America and now we’ll see the compromised John Roberts go completely progressive.
That’s what I think will happen also..
Firing her is something she wants to avoid at all cost because it leaves a Mark on her record and some believe she wants to avoid that at all costs.
???? Posted on wrong comment????
God, we give You the glory.
Thank You for motivating our founding fathers to seek Your wisdom as they decided for revolution. We are grateful for all the wisdom You gave them as they captured Your character in our Constitution. The writing is unparalleled. The provisions even included an allowance for humble correction. Your precision then led to the situation today. You saw this opportunity. You knew the minute of the hour of the day You would take Justice Ginsburg to You. And You knew when Amy Coney Barrett was in her mother’s womb the entire path she would take in her life. You knew she would need an incredible husband to stand by her and their family. You saw these 7 “perfect” kids and knit them together. You worked all things together for those who love You.
We appreciate how Your plan is unfolding.
Thank You for protection of our Republic.
We praise You for thwarting evil plans against our nation and plan against righteous people thru out the world.
Thank You for Your undeserved love for all!I
Yours is the glory. Your will be done!
Amen!
Amen and Amen, Our God will NOT be thwarted!
Amen.
Or mocked. I am pretty sure He knows all the people born today!
Very well-written. I’m grateful to be able to follow such a wonderful prayer with an Amen!
Ah, the dogma lives loudly in this one 😉
Holy Spirit led prayer is purist!
More on the swearing-in ceremony…
99.8% of those without underlying conditions recover.
Stop the insanity and protect the elderly and those in nursing homes, and open up without repercussion and refusal the Trump cocktail (hydroxychloroquine + zinc + zpack) and also TAB (Trump Anti-Body treatment) from Regeneron and we will be just fine as herd immunity kicks in.
Get our kids back into schools, open up all business.
Then go back an analyze why flu, pneumonia are way down and why total 2020 deaths with CV are about the same or slightly less than 2019 and 2018.
It is time to prosecute those who leverage this virus to create fear and destroy thousands of small businesses.
And for Heaven’s sake, get rid of the face masks!
The swearing in is on Cspan 2.
They’re taking call-ins right now.
Swearing in tonight at WH Rose Garden
This song is dedicated to all the Liberal Senators who voted against ACB. It’s time to party!
Now if Barr will follow the money we should be able to get rid of another few dozen corrupt folks in DC.
After all one system of justice for all, right Bill?
As an aside, while waiting for the swearing-in, this bit from Legal Insurrection:
“The United States Supreme Court has upheld Wisconsin law requiring that absentee and mail-in ballots be received by Election Day. The Court rejected lower court attempts to extend the deadline for receive. The decision came in an Order denying a motion to vacate a prior 7th Circuit stay of lower court injunction.”
Whoa Well, I’ll be …
Great because the case here in NC is already headed there for the same reasons. Should mean the appellate judges will be struck down. I hope.
Indeed. And, I wonder about the implications for PA.
Manchin voted no.
guess he’s not up for re-election this year.
WV, u were not duped. u knew this and wilfully re-elected a liar
Everything that Manchin does has dollar signs and has for these past 4 years.
I am so in love. With my President.
Don’t you know he’s thinking to himself “I like it when a plan comes together.”
showtime…
Hahaha! ?

LOL !
Yes. But mostly to them this is legislating by following the Constitution, Esquire Rodham Clinton.
God’s Hand. God’s Plan. God is infinite in time; infinite in terms of what we can conceive in terms of space.
Each human is infinitely unique, every face every personality. No other species comes close.
Yet here at this mere “atom” of time, Justice Ginsburg dies and we now have Amy Coney Barrett confirmed as Supreme Court Justice just days before a most monumental election in the course of known human history.
We forget that this “birth of a nation” has existed but in the blink of an eye in the context of the infinity of time. Out of nowhere comes Donald J. Trump. In that moment out of all the infinity of time. We are impatient for justice. We are reminded “In God We Trust”.
God’s hand. God’s Plan.
What a time to be blessed to be alive. Oh, and don’t forget the gift of Sundance and everyone in the Treehouse.
WNMR,
You could not be more correct. President Trump’s 2016 victory was a miracle. That he has been not only been able to hold up, but to grow stronger under the unprecedently vicious and unremittingly constant attacks of America’s domestic enemies, is another miracle. That President Trump has been able to appoint three Supreme Court Justices who should all be strict Constitutionalists is yet one more miracle, and of equal import to the first two. Long story short, God has blessed our country tremendously since 2016, and far more than we deserve. May we as a nation now act in such a way as to show Him that we truly are cognizant of our blessings and appreciate what wonderful gifts He has given us!
Beautifully said mac. Thank you.
I am not so sure of Justice Gorsuch. He determined the originators of the Civil Rights Law of 1964 REALLY meant to include transgenders and gays under its protection, This seems just a BIT activist to me. I was pretty young but I am pretty sure there WERE public gays even in 1964. The gender dystopic were probably few in number, like now, and hiding away from exposure then.

We watched live on Cspan; I took my 8 & 12 y/o on to the front lawn and launched fireworks! Memorable! (I told them this woman will protect you & your rights into your adulthood. So satisfying!…
Miss Lindsey is giggling like a schoolgirl on Hannity
Been drinking?
…and asking for money.
That boy ain’t right.
I want one of those! I would wear that. I will just get a t-shirt!
Congrats Amy, you got the job. No time to waste. Crack those files and get to work tonight!!!
