Below is my column in the New York Post on President Joe Biden’s call to reform the Supreme Court by ending lifetime tenure for Supreme Court justices.
Here is the column:
President (and Supreme Court Chief Justice) William Howard Taft once said “presidents come and go, but the Supreme Court goes on forever.”
But not if Joe Biden has his way. Indeed, both the president and Court as we know it could be gone.
In a failed attempt to save his nomination, Biden offered to “reform” the Court by imposing an 18-year term limit that would jettison the three most senior conservative justices.
With only six months left in his presidency, Biden’s efforts are likely to fail, but, unfortunately, could set the stage for activists under a Harris Administration in seeking to change the Court forever.
For more than 50 years, Biden staunchly refused to play politics with the Supreme Court and support calls for “reforms” from the left of his party.
For a politician who has long been criticized for changing positions with the polls on issues from abortion to criminal justice to gun rights, the Court was one of the few areas of true principle for Biden.
Even though he refused to answer questions on packing the Court in the 2020 election, he ultimately rejected the call as president.
Yet Biden’s final principle fell this month when facing the premature and involuntary end of his candidacy. Faced with being a one-term president, the Supreme Court would have to be sacrificed.
Biden opted for the least of the evils in pushing for term limits rather than court packing.
It was the more popular option for Biden to yield on. Voters have always loved term limits.
The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found 67% of Americans, including 82% of Democrats and 57% of Republicans, support a proposal to set finite terms for justices.
But there were few law professors and even fewer Democratic members clamoring for term limits until conservatives secured a stable majority on the Court. Then, suddenly, the Court had to be “reformed” without delay.
It is no accident that the first three justices who would be term limited off the Court are conservatives: Clarence Thomas (after 33 years on the Court), Chief Justice John Roberts (after 19 years), and Justice Samuel Alito (after 18 years).
Think, however, about the iconic decisions we would have lost with term limits in place. Liberal Justice Williams Douglas’s 36 years on the Court would have literally been cut in half. He would have been kicked off in 1957.
His famous opinions like Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), striking down bans on contraceptives, would not have been written — an ironic result for those seeking limits after the Court’s ruling in Dobbs.
Likewise, liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s tenure would have ended in 2011 before she wrote her famous dissent Shelby County v. Holder (2013), defending voting rights.
Anthony Kennedy’s term would have ended in 2011 rather than 2018, before he wrote opinions such as United States v. Windsor, striking down the Defense of Marriage Act.
Obviously, other justices could have written opinions in these cases, but the point is that many justices wrote their best opinions after 18 years on the Court.
Moreover, the Framers clearly wanted these positions as lifetime appointments as an added protection against political pressure or influence.
For more than two centuries, presidents have struggled with the Supreme Court, but none (until now) have attempted to end life tenure on the Court.
Presidents have served as the firewall for the anger and radicalism that has periodically engulfed the Court.
Now President Biden is leading the mob for changing this institution for the first time since its founding.
It is a testament to what I call “an age of rage” in my new book. After years of supporting the Court when it was setting aside conservative precedent, liberals now want the Court changed to dump or dilute the majority.
It is unlikely to end there. After sending Thomas, Roberts, and Alito packing, many want to go further and pack the Court itself.
Democratic leaders such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) have called for outright court packing — a proposal that Vice President Kamala Harris has suggested that she might support.
Where Biden is a political opportunist in belatedly joining this movement, Harris is a true believer from the far left.
If she is elected, the Congress is still likely to be closely divided. That will only increase pressure to convert the Court into an alternative avenue for social and political reform.
Harvard professor Michael Klarman warned that all of the plans to change the country were ultimately dependent on packing the court.
With the 2020 election, he stated that Democrats could change the election system to guarantee Republicans “will never win another election.”
Notably, if Biden were to seek this change as a legislative matter without a constitutional amendment, future Congresses could short terms further from 18 to 8 years or even less.
In his speech, Biden declared that he wanted the membership of the Court changed with greater “regularity.”
If Congress has this authority, it could change the occupants of the Court faster than a South Beach timeshare condo.
That is clearly the opposite of what the Framers intended, but Biden insists that these times are different and democracy will only be safeguarded by attacking one of our core stabilizing institutions.
According to the Washington Post, the president made his pledge in a Zoom call to the left-wing Congressional Progressive Caucus, chaired by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and co-chaired by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). It did not succeed in resuscitating his candidacy.
The pledge will be dead on arrival with Congress. What is left is a King Lear-like tragedy of a president, betrayed by those closest to him, and wandering the land for continued relevance.
History will show a pitiful figure who offered up the Court as the cost of staying in power, only to lose his candidacy and his legacy.
Jonathan Turley is a Fox News Media contributor and the Shapiro professor of public interest law at George Washington University. He is the author of “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage.”
My question is why does Joe Biden still have a job, and the real question, WHO’S IN CHARGE?
Can someone explain to me what is going on? Did I not just see the President of the United States go on national television and admit he’s too far progressed into the stages of dementia to run in November?
Its not like no one of knew he had dementia, we all saw it day in day out. Everyone saw it, but the MSM called us all “MAGA” loons for stating the obvious.
So now that the cats out of the bag so to speak, WHY DOES HE STILL HAVE HIS FINGER ON THE NUKES?
Why is he allowed to wage war in the Ukraine. What his “handlers think dragging us all into World War III since he can’t win the election is the next best plan or something? Who’s handling this senile old man? Who’s calling the shots?
And WHY in the world would HE be allowed to change or even try to change one of our most sacred institutions?
Why is he still the President, and in what world does the executive branch have ANY say in what the Judiciary branch does or how its structured?
Why is no one calling for him to be removed from office under the 25th Amendment?
Not to worry.
Obama has the football.
Oh, and the Fed, Social Security, Medicare, EPA, HUD, HHS, IRS, Obamacare, Education, Labor, Agriculture, Energy, DOD, CIA, FBI, NSA, “free stuff,” “free status,” affirmative action, quotas, welfare, forced busing, public housing, etc., etc., etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseam.
HE’S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS
He’s got the whole world in His hands, He’s got the whole wide world in His hands, He’s got the
whole world in His hands, He’s got the whole world in His hands!
He’s got you an’ me, sister in His hands, He’s got you an’ me, brother, in His Hands, He’s got you
an’ me, sister in His hands, He’s got the whole world in His hands!
He’s got the little tiny baby in His hands. He’s got the little tiny baby in His hands. He’s got the
little tiny baby in His hands, he’s got the whole world in His hands!
He’s got all of us here in His hands. He’s got all of us here His hands, He’s got all of us here, in His
hands. He’s got the whole world in His hands! (The last verse is repeated.) He’s got the whole
world in His hands!
Is there anything else you desire, comrade?
Chris Weber: You ask the question: “did I not see the President of the United States go on national television and admit he’s too far progressed into the stages of dementia to run in November”. Chris if you THINK you heard Joe Biden say this you are either: 1, deaf; 2. delusional; or 3. a MAGAt who believes every lie he hears on MAGA media. Joe Biden said that he was stepping aside to allow the next generation to lead. Period.
Joe Biden is NOT “waging war in the Ukraine”–Vladamir Putin, is, and your hero, DJT, called Putin’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine “genius” and wonderful”. If Trump is able to cheat his way back into office, he will do everything possible to help Putin defeat Ukraine, paving the way for Putin to go after Poland and the Baltic countries. Trump would refuse to honor our NATO treaty obligations to defend our allies, and THAT would lead to WW III.
Why would you believe the lie that Biden is managed by “handlers”? You ask “why is no one calling for him to be removed form office under the 25th Amendment”–WHY WOULD anyone call for him to be removed? No matter how many times MAGA media keeps harping on the assumption that Biden has dementia and is incompetent, it’s still a LIE.
Biden is proposing term limits for the SCOTUS. According to Five Thirty-Eight, 55.1% of Americans disapprove of the SCOTUS and only 36.1% approve of it. Americans want changes, and eliminating lifetime tenue is one way to do this.
LMAO AN OCTOGENARIAN says after being forced out by threats he is stepping aside for the two generations he stomped on while maintaining power for DECADES TOO LONG.
Gigi the pathological liar acts like it has not been reported that Obama threatened Joe with the 25th and he retaliated by naming Kamala his successor.
By left wing outlets.
Sorry Gigi, your alternate reality fails again
CITE a name of someone who is quoted as saying this–CITE a name and post a direct quote from that person. If you can’t, then admit you are just parroting something you heard on MAGA media. Rumors and un-named sources DO NOT COUNT.
Seymour Hirsch reported it.
WHO allegedly SAID this–quote the source. I don’t kinow who “Seymour Hirsch” is. I want a direct quote.
Nobody gives a fvck what you want.
Your sources have been wrong 100’s of times.
You’re a pathological liar and an imbecile who lives in an alternate reality.
Funny they always count when you use them. LOL
It was all over CNN and MSNBC. Don’t know how you missed it. Even Maddow called it.
They count and you can’t stand it. Too bad.
It happened and you know it. Joe said on Thursday he was in it to win it and the ELITES would not force him out. 3 days later he ran and hid like a whipped puppy. Obama did that.
Obama wanted an open primary. Cuz Kamala sux and he knows it.
Sux to be you, Gigi.
Yes, and, do not underestimate the power of the coming propaganda:
First black woman president! Vote vote vote for this historic candidate! Let’s make history!
All they need for the ‘steal’ to be believable and accepted by the people is to have fraudulent polls that say Kamala is popular, and then enough plausible deniability that yes, 80million would actually vote for the idiot because she’s “historic.”
WHY would you call Kamala Harris an “idiot”? She is far more qualified than Trump for office. She has more degrees that he does. She does not have a criminal background, does not owe tens of millions in civil penalties and isn’t under dozens of criminal indictments. She was a courtroom prosecutor, an Attorney General, Senator and Vice President. What is Trump’s claim to fame? “The Apprentice”. HOW many bankruptcies has Trump had–6 so far. How many businesses under Trump failed? Who knows, but here’s a partial list of 26 of them:
1. Trump University (2004-2010)
A for-profit education company that ended in a $25 million settlement over fraud lawsuits without admitting wrongdoing.
The venture was criticized for misleading marketing practices, promising to teach Trump’s real estate strategies through programs that failed to deliver.
2. Trump: The Game (1989, 2005)
A board game that saw poor sales and was discontinued.
Despite relaunch efforts, the game did not achieve lasting market success. Financial details regarding production and marketing costs versus revenues are limited but reflect a misjudgment in market demand.
3. Trump Vodka (2006-2011)
A luxury vodka brand that failed to meet sales thresholds and was discontinued. Trump Vodka struggled to compete in the saturated premium vodka market.
Discontinued due to failure to meet sales thresholds required to continue the license. The investment in branding and production, given the ambition to dominate the luxury vodka segment, suggests substantial unrecovered costs.
4. Trump Airlines (1989-1992)
Acquired for $365 million, the airline defaulted on a $1.1 million loan repayment and was eventually ceased operations, underlining the financial risk in the aviation industry.
Operational costs and eventual default on loan repayments compound the total losses from the venture

5. Trump Steaks (2007)
An attempt to break into the meat industry that ended shortly after its launch. Sold exclusively through The Sharper Image and QVC, the venture struggled due to poor sales and market reception.
Trump Steaks was pulled from shelves within two months due to low sales. Specific financial losses are not publicly detailed but the quick discontinuation indicates a failure to capture the market.
6. GoTrump.com (2006-2007)
A luxury travel search engine shut down after a year due to critique and lack of traction, showcasing the challenges of establishing a new digital platform.
Initial setup and operational costs likely resulted in financial losses due to the short operational period.
7. Trump Mortgages (2006-2007)
Launched at the brink of the housing market crash, it folded quickly due to the subprime mortgage crisis, emphasizing the impact of poor timing and market conditions.
Closed doors as the housing market crashed, signaling a poor timing and a significant misread of market conditions, resulting in likely substantial startup costs and operational losses.
It’s interesting that Trump Mortgages struggled as a lender, given Trump’s history as a borrower.
8. Trump Ice (2004-2010)
Originally launched as part of Donald Trump’s array of branded products, Trump Natural Spring Water, marketed under the “Trump Ice” brand, promised one of the purest bottled waters.
Despite its discontinuation in 2010, it remains exclusively available at Trump-branded properties, emphasizing the luxury and exclusivity associated with the Trump name.
The brand, known for its low mineral content and being bottled in plastic, has been critiqued as more of a vehicle for Trump’s image than a testament to water quality.
9. Trump Magazine (2007-2009)
Shut down after two years amid a challenging advertising market for luxury publications, underlining the tough media landscape.
The venture’s shutdown suggests significant unrecouped investment in publication and distribution.
10. Trump Tower Tampa (2006-2007)
A real estate venture shelved due to financing and market challenges, indicating significant investment losses.
The proposed luxury condo project was canceled amid the real estate market downturn, leading to lost deposits and investments, highlighting the financial risks in speculative real estate ventures.
11. Trump SoHo Hotel (2008-2017)
Faced legal challenges and struggled with occupancy rates before being rebranded, showing the competitive nature of the luxury hotel sector.
Initial investment and operational losses, compounded by legal fees, mark this as a financial misstep.
12. Trump Taj Mahal (1990-2016)
Opened with grandeur but faced immediate financial distress and multiple bankruptcies, reflecting the complexities of large-scale casino operations.
The scale of investment versus accumulated debt and operational losses underscores a significant financial failure.
13. Trump Marina (originally Trump’s Castle)
Opened in 1985 in Atlantic City as Trump’s Castle, this casino resort was renamed Trump Marina in 1997. Despite the rebranding efforts and strategic location, the property struggled with financial stability and competition from newer, more modern casinos.
By 2011, Donald Trump had sold the property after multiple challenges, including a near foreclosure in the late 1990s.
14. Trump’s World Fair at Trump Plaza
Trump’s World Fair, another casino venture in Atlantic City, was opened in 1996 as an addition to the existing Trump Plaza. It aimed to provide a unique entertainment experience with its fair-like atmosphere.
It failed to draw the expected crowds and revenue, leading to its closure in 1999. This venture further highlighted the difficulties in maintaining profitability in the volatile casino market.
15. Trump Baku Hotel (Never opened)
A luxury hotel project in Azerbaijan that faced legal and financial issues, highlighting the risks of international real estate ventures.
Legal and financial issues halted this project, suggesting sunk costs in development and planning without the realization of potential revenues or returns.
16. Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino (1984-2014)
Once a landmark in Atlantic City, it went through multiple bankruptcies before closing, demonstrating the challenges of maintaining profitability.
Multiple bankruptcies before its closure, indicating substantial financial losses over its operational life due to declining revenues and competitive pressures.

17. Trump International Hotel and Tower Dubai (Never realized)
Shelved following the 2008 financial crisis, illustrating the global impact of economic downturns on luxury real estate.
The failed venture reflects lost investments in planning and pre-development stages.
18. Trump International Hotel and Tower New Orleans (Never realized)
Abandoned after Hurricane Katrina, indicating initial investment losses and unrealized potential in a recovering market.
The project was abandoned due to the city’s extensive rebuilding challenges.
19. Trump Tower Palm Beach (Never realized)
Faced local opposition and environmental concerns, quickly scrapped, underscoring the influence of community and environmental considerations.
20. Trump Tower Charlotte (Never realized)
Encountered economic uncertainties and financing challenges, leaving the ambitious mixed-use development uncompleted.
This is another example of Trump experiencing financial losses related to planning and initial development efforts without achieving fruition.
21. Trump Institute
A separate business from Trump University offering real estate seminars under a licensing agreement until 2009. Trump endorsed the program through infomercials despite not being involved in its operations.
While Trump endorsed the program, financial details on the scale of investment or revenue share are not public, suggesting a venture that did not meet its expected potential
22. Professional Football and Social Media Forays
Trump’s business interests have also spanned professional sports and social media.
These endeavors, while not detailed in financial outcomes here, signify his diverse portfolio and his readiness to take on high-risk ventures, demonstrating his approach to business and entrepreneurship.
23. Trump Foundation (Fraudulent Charity) (1988-2018)
A private foundation started by Donald Trump, dissolved by court order in 2018 following a series of legal violations. The foundation was scrutinized for unethical and illegal activities, including self-dealing and unauthorized campaign contributions.
Investigations led by the New York State Attorney General culminated in Trump being ordered to pay $2 million in damages for misusing charitable funds for political gains. This payment was distributed among eight different charities as restitution.
The settlement also mandated that the foundation be dissolved under court supervision, highlighting the misuse of charitable organizations for personal benefit.
24. Trump Winery (2011-)
Established following Donald Trump’s acquisition of the Kluge Estate Winery and Vineyard in 2011, Trump Winery has floated in and out of headlines due to both controversy and success.
Situated in Charlottesville, Virginia, near Thomas Jefferson’s historic Monticello estate, the winery underwent a significant transformation under the Trump family’s ownership.
Despite initial skepticism, Trump Winery has achieved a measure of acclaim within the wine industry. The winery, now managed under Eric Trump’s name, has produced award-winning wines recognized in prestigious competitions.
For instance, its 2014 Sparkling Reserve won Best in Class-Brut, Double Gold, 97 points at the 2020 San Francisco International Wine Competition, outscoring competitors from renowned wine regions including Napa, Sonoma, and even Champagne.
Despite claims of being the largest winery on the East Coast, Trump Winery is not the largest either by volume of wine produced or acreage under vine in Virginia, let alone the East Coast.
It produces around 36,000 cases of wine annually, with around 200 acres under vine, making it a significant player in Virginia’s wine scene but not the largest as previously claimed.
The winery’s product lineup includes a mix of sparkling, white, red, and rosé wines, with several of its offerings garnering critical acclaim for their quality. Notably, the Trump Winery Chardonnay and the Sparkling Blanc de Blanc have received positive reviews and multiple awards, affirming the winery’s commitment to leveraging Virginia’s terroir.
The winery has also been subject to criticism from wine experts who have had mixed reviews about the quality of its wines. Moreover, despite Donald Trump’s well-known abstention from alcohol, his name remains synonymous with the winery, illustrating the complex interplay between his business interests and personal life.
25. Trump Cologne (2004-2015)
Donald Trump’s venture into the fragrance market began with “Donald Trump, The Fragrance” in 2004, a partnership with Estée Lauder.
Aimed at capturing the essence of the luxury and success associated with his persona, this line expanded with “Trump Success” in 2012 and “Empire by Trump” in 2015, broadening his brand’s reach into personal grooming and luxury lifestyle products.
26. Truth Social
Truth Social, the social media platform launched by Donald Trump’s Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), has faced significant financial challenges since its inception.
The platform reported substantial financial losses, amounting to $31.6 million from its launch until mid-2023. In 2023 alone, regulatory filings and company reportshighlighted losses of $58 million.
A key issue for Truth Social has been generating sufficient revenue, particularly from advertising, a challenge amid stiff competition from established social media giants.
The platform generated only about $3 million in revenue over the first nine months of 2023, contrasting sharply with its significant operating losses.
The platform’s financial struggles are compounded by its limited user base and engagement levels, which are crucial for attracting advertisers and sustaining operations. Truth Social has an estimated 2 million active users, substantially lower than larger platforms like Instagram or TikTok, making it challenging to draw significant advertising revenue.
The stock of TMTG, listed as Truth Social, has also seen volatile movements, reflecting investor skepticism about the platform’s viability and the broader financial sustainability of Trump’s media venture. The stock experienced sharp declines due to ongoing financial losses and uncertainties about its future profitability.”
Look at gigi cut and paste LMAO
She has more degrees LMAO
Thats the “more qualified”???
That says all we need to know about you.
Wow! That is quite a list for a real estate developer and entrepreneur. Looks like a helluva lot jobs created there GiGi! Whether noted to be a gain or a loss on the book, they all generate private side jobs. The man is verified to have built a $5B dollar empire on the private side of business, what has Kamala done to progress other than fk her way to the top of the Democratic Party? For that matter, what has Joe Biden or Barry O done for this country? A Giant ZERO, fleeced the taxpayers and scammed the lobbyist groups.
Now compare Kamala’s POLICY POSITIONS side by side with Trump’s.
You can’t. Because her policy positions make her UNELECTABLE.
She bailed out of the 2020 race BEFORE Iowa.
She’s THAT bad.
Media training and lying about her policies won’t save her.
Neither will the propaganda media slobbering love-fest.
This is a picture of Gigi nine years ago.
She pastes and copies but doesn’t know what she is talking about.
Trump is worth between 3 and 8 Billion dollars. Has Gigi gotten off of welfare yet?
WHO said this? “Reports” from “sources” are nothing. Biden did not “run like a whipped puppy”–he valiantly stepped aside for the good of the Democratic party and fully endorszed Kamala. He hasn’t been “hiding” either–where the hell do you get crap like this–he’s in the news every day. He set aside his own ambitions–something a narcissistic pig like Trump could never do. Trump wouldn’t leave even after getting voted out. He sat by and watched Capitol Police get beaten and the building damaged and one of his supporters killed for the sake of his ego. That people like you aren’t shocked and offended by this is stunning. I want a direct quote from OBAMA that he “knows” Kamala “sux”. I heard the call from Obama and Michelle telling Kamala they fully supported her candidacy and would do everything possible to help her win. Did you? No. You like to believe the lies spoon fed to you from MAGA media.
He announced it on twitter like a beaten puppy.
Why did he step aside, Gigi? You said he was going to win. How was him stepping aside good for the party?
LMAO keep stepping in that doo doo. It smells good on you.
How is the “greatest President ever” stepping aside good for anybody??
You’re pathetic.
I don’t know if Obama can tell you that Kamala sux but if you have a ouji board, I know Willie Brown can. If you have the same question about Obama, you will have to contact Larry Sinclair.
Gigi,
You post ‘wrong facts’, accusations, slander,
lies of omission, debunked talking points, etc.
With links included? Barely any, and not very often.
Yet demand it of others when you get cornered.
Interesting.
The SCOTUS is not a fvcking popularity contest, you imbecile.
Thats what the legislative branch is for.
But like a good lefty, you conflate the two.
Spastic idiot.
No, the SCOTUS is not a popularity contest, and I didn’t say it was. But the judges on the Court are duty-bound to honor stare decisis unless there is some valid reason for not doing so–like the Dredd Scott decision no longer being valid. You would probably call that “wokeness”–that black people aren’t veiwed as personal property any more. There has not been any sea change in society to justify reversing Roe v. Wade–it’s just their personal preference and religious beliefs of radical right-wing judges who have no problem with imposing their personal religious beliefs on others, and who lied about their position on Roe in order to get onto the bench and do what they did. Roe was upheld against multiple challenges for almost 50 years, and is based on the Constitutional principles of individual privacy and liberty. Not any more. And, if Republicans get into power, they intend to pass a fetal personhood bill that would override state laws and the FDA. There would be NO abortions. Period. The American people don’t want this. Every time the issue of abortion comes up for vote in a referendum, even in red states, the public votes in favor of this being a right. Republicans refuse to accept the will of the American people, which is one of many reasons they need to be voted out.
The SCOTUS should be bound by the same rules about conflicts of interest like any other judge would. Alito and Thomas both have spouses whose vocal public support for the Big Lie should disqualify them from being involved in any case dealing with January 6th. They both refused to recuse. No other judge could have gotten away with that, and there is no recourse other than impeachment. There is no enforcement mechanism to enforce SCOTUS Judge ethical issues, which are based solely on good faith. The American people aren’t buying it, and if Republicans get in office in November, it could be even worse.
Ketanji should recuse on J6 decisions.
“But the judges on the Court are duty-bound to honor stare decisis”
TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY TWO TIMES SCOTUS has overturned a previous ruling.
Get a grip. There is NO SUCH DUTY. Makin’ shit up, as usual.
https://constitution.congress.gov/resources/decisions-overruled/
RVW stood on shaky ground from day 1.
And not a single Justice referred to their religious beliefs in their opinions in Dobbs, so there you go, just makin’ shit up again.
The only people talking about federal abortion bans are democrats. They know idiots like you are gullible enough to buy it.
There will always be a segment of society that will fight for what they believe to be the sanctity of life. And they will never have to power to ban abortions nationwide. You’re delusional.
Yes Republicans CAN and WILL, if they seize power, pass a “fetal personhood bill”, which is why for the first time in decades, the Republican platform doesn’t mention abortion. It works like this: from the millisecond a sperm penetrates the outer wall of the ovum, that creates a person, with full rights. Ending that existence, even to save the life of a pregnant woman or in cases of incest and rape, would be murder. If Republicans get away with this, it would over-ride any state laws allowing abortion, it would eliminate the need to try to reverse the FDA approval of medication abortions, and criminilize IVF and some forms of contraception. Republicas lie about their agenda because they have to.
“Yes Republicans CAN and WILL, if they seize power, pass a “fetal personhood bill”, which is why for the first time in decades, the Republican platform doesn’t mention abortion. ”
The RNC is adopting the Trump position, leaving abortion to the states. Let Gigi and the Democrats continue to advocate for abortion till term. Let them pull out the arms and legs of an alive child. They are good at killing, so they advocate abortion on demand.
Take note that nothing Gigi says is researched. She makes things up as she goes along. Ignorance is what she strives for.
Hamas controls Gaza
The Palestinian Authority is in Judea and Samaria ( the West Bank).
International law that applies to Saudi Arabia, Syria and Iraq along with most of the Middle East, applies to Israel. That is why Judea and Samaria are a legitimate part of Israel.
No, the Republicans CANT and WONT. See how easy that was?
I can just as easily claim the Dems will legalize infanticide. I have just as much proof.
Stop acting like a spastic idiot.
How do they get 60 votes in the Senate, moron?
Wear a fvcking condom. It would have spared us you.
“if they sieze power”
How would they do that, Gigi?
Its like you go out of your way to sound crazed and delusional.
“But the judges on the Court are duty-bound to honor stare decisis”

Gigi lied Yes Republicans CAN and WILL, if they seize power, pass a “fetal personhood bill”… She lied to distract because racist Soviet Democrat Baby Butchers want to keep slaughtering unborn black Children so Planned Parenthood can keep turning a profit on their Baby Body Parts Chop Shops.
Gigi tells that lie because she wants to distract from the fact Round Heels Harris has PROMISED that she will make elective birth control abortions legal throughout the USA right up to birth. Right up to the moment the umbilical cord is severed.
Gigi is all for Round Heels Harris and her promise for elective birth control Abortion Up Until Birth – so many Tinder dates go wrong; what’s a modern woke round heeled girl to do!
Trump has correctly agreed with the SCOTUS decision: if Gigi wants to be able to get an elective birth control abortion right up to the moment the baby’s head crowns during birth, all she has to do is convince the voters of her state to pass state legislation saying that is acceptable. Or have an abortion vacation: go to states like California that have legalized elective birth control abortion up to the moment of birth.
What Round Heels Harris CAN’T do, is pass a federal law that says Gigi can have an elective birth control abortion right up to the moment of birth: only states can make abortion laws. Not the federal government whether Trump is the president or Round Heels Harris is the president.
Gigi lies about elective birth control abortions because her sorority, The Round Heeled Soviet Sisters celebrate having multiple birth control abortions for their Tinder dates gone wrong as a celebratory rite of passage.
Gigi crawled into bed with the first guy who was too drunk to know what he was doing because she was the only round heeled girl in town that couldn’t brag she’d had an elective birth control abortion.
If that guy would have been sober (and willing), he would have demanded two bags: one for Gigi and one to pull over his own head. Oh… and a board to strap across his ass to ensure he didn’t fall in.
“No, the SCOTUS is not a popularity contest, and I didn’t say it was.”
Yea, ya did. You’re just too unhinged to understand the implications of the rants you repeat from left wing nut jobs.
In fact, the judicial is a check AGAINST the majority, who would make laws that violate the Constitution while in power. So they would naturally have a low approval, especially in highly divisive times. Get a grip on your nonsense.
Oh, —- yes! Let’s talk law!
On January 1, 1863, immigration law consisted of the Naturalization Act of 1802, which was in full force and effect requiring safe and compassionate repatriation of freed slaves whose status had been recently transformed from “property” to “illegal alien,” causing them to not be admissible to become citizens.

“he was stepping aside to allow the next generation to lead. Period.” –
Too funny.
If you believe that line written by a speech writer then I have some really nice …”waterfront” vacation property for you just south of Miami…
Seriously the whole world sees he’s in the advanced stages of DEMENTIA. He’s lost his mind.
So listen up troll.
I went through this with my own Dad for years before he passed.
BIDEN HAS ADVANCED DEMENTIA. THAT IS FACT.
And anyone not a boot licking stooge lying to themselves and everyone they speak to SEES THAT.
If you want to be one of the absolutely morose idiots that want to pretend they can’t see his dementia, then so be it.
BE IT.
But don’t leave that crap on my comments and don’t think you’re going to sell that stuff to me.
Seriously, only people like you see something that isn’t there and are blind to what IS there. Biden is fine. He led the NATO summit. He gave multiple speeches after the debate. He had flown to and from Europe to attend the G-7 3 times in one week. He had a cold, so he performed poorly. He has always had a speech impediment. He is 81 years old, but he ‘s not a criminal, narcissist, liar, racist or misogynist. He’s not an adjudicated fraudster, assaulter and defamer of a woman, convicted criminal, thief of classified documents, nor did he spread the Big Lie because he’s not man enough to accept the will of the people. Biden didn’t call his VP the “p” word for refusing to participate in the insurrection, he didn’t try to get Secretaries of State to falsify votes or get fake electors to falsify Electoral College documents, nor sit idly by for 3 hours while an angry mob hunted the VP and Speaker of the House, intent on killing them. He doesn’t call military members “suckers and losers” or insult John McCain. He has a vision for the future, and doesn’t use the DOJ and FBI to get revenge because of his pettiness and ego. He isn’t driven by Project 2025, which would be an unprecedented power grab for the Executive and completely overhaul the federal government to be the prsonal tool of the president and Christian Nationalist cult, ban all abortions and IVF, cut SNAP benefits and school lunch programs, give massive tax breaks to the wealthy, roll back environmental and consumer protections and eliminate NOAA. He never told his fans that they only need to vote once to get him into office and that they wouldn’t need to vote again. He never called our sitting Vice President “garbage”, or consorted with a porn actress and nude model, and then falsified business records to cover up his misconduct. No matter how many times you claim that Biden has “dementia”, or how many times Pastor Hannity throws around this lie, it’s still a LIE.
No, I don’t think anyone could “sell” anything to you–if you can’t see Trump for the massive blowhard failure, misogynist, liar, narcissist, xenophobic loser he is, then you are blind. If you can’t perceive how dangerous it would be to give the kind of power called for in Project 2025 to someone with no moral compass and who lives to feed his massive ego, then you can’t be “sold” anything. Your ‘truth” is what you get spoon-fed by MAGA media, that told you Joe Biden somehow “admitted” he isn’t fit to continue his term as President. He never said that. But, they said he did, so you believe he did. That is scary.
Kamala is garbage. So what? She has called him worse.
You cease to be garbage when you become VP?
Spastic idiot.
If Biden is fine, why did they force him out?
If Biden is fine, why did he let them force him out?
Project 2025 is no more, gigi. Sorry, you lost that horse manure talking point too.
“But the judges on the Court are duty-bound to honor stare decisis”
TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY TWO TIMES SCOTUS has overturned a previous ruling.
Get a grip. There is NO SUCH DUTY. Makin’ shit up, as usual.
https://constitution.congress.gov/resources/decisions-overruled/
Only a fool would claim “Biden is fine”. He can’t even operate a motor vehicle. He can’t even walk without assistance. Dementia has him doing the “straight arm” movement, a sign of DEMENTIA in the advanced stages. He can’t WALK right. He can’t TALK right. He forgets where he is, who he’s talking about and he does it OVER AND OVER AND OVER on camera and you….a coward troll hiding behind a fake trolls handle …think YOUR word that “he’s fine” somehow overrides reality or the observations of the ENTIRE WORLD who sees he is definitely NOT fine, … .. well…I can’t talk to a fool like you.
And by the way fool, …. I don’t support Trump any more than I support Biden so don’t bother with your inane moms-basement troll lies about me and my “heros”. My hero’s in this world are all dead.
I don’t see too much heroism in this world anywhere these days from either party, and when infantile trolls like you try to paint me as in the other corner simply because I call out your foolishness, then all I can say is take a hike troll, and run your fool mouth to someone dumb enough to believe your stupidity.
BIDENS GOT DEMENTIA. ADVANCED.
AND all your bootlicking won’t change that reality.
AND THATS WHY he’s stepping down.
Yes he has dementia.
But the reason he stepped aside is because the debate exposed the Dems’ secret to the world.
They all knew Biden was senile in 2020.
If the Dems and their media propagandists could have continued to hide the FACT that their puppet Biden was senile, they would have, and they would have kept him in the race.
Gigi: Biden is fine.
If you consider being both a RACIST AND A RAPIST fine. And we know he’s both because Round Heels Harris told all of America that in the 2020 debates. And Gigi is all in for Round Heels Harris, so there’s no doubt about that.
The question now is whether or not Gigi is just as demented as that corrupt bag of senile bones, President Daddy-Daughter Inappropriate Showers.
She reads from a compendium of Soviet Democrat lies and claims like her alter ego Cringe Jean-Pierre reads lies from her binder to the White House Press Corps.
Bribery Biden got caught on a hot mic confessing that he raped his young aid Tara Reid… Round Heels Harris says he’s not only a rapist, but a racist as well.
But Gigi still thinks he’s fine.
Chris Weber, I live next to a group in ‘Memory Care Unit’. Occasionally they now come out, supervised, to participate in activities. I assume you that President Biden does not have ‘advanced dementia’. He does demonstrate certain signs of so-called ‘first stage’ dementia, as do many of us here in an assisted living facility. It isn’t enough to keep residents here from having a driver’s license and it isn’t enough to keep the president from fulfilling the duties of his office.
So being President is kind of like driving a car.
Proofread your shit, “professor”. Can’t even spell your name right, dementia dude.
Respect your elders.
I’m 96
” It isn’t enough to keep residents here from having a driver’s license and it isn’t enough to keep the president from fulfilling the duties of his office.”
David, your son is a physician. Ask him if he feels a mildly demented person who can drive a car is fit to be President and if that is the type of surgeon he sends his patients to.
Dementia David.
This explains a lot.
You; don’t have a clue pal. I went through it with my own Dad. He shows every sign of advanced dementia, and I predicted IN THIS BLOG IN WRITING back in January that Biden would NOT be in the race come November.
Everyone said i was wrong, ….how bout now?
“Chris Weber, I live next to a group in ‘Memory Care Unit’. Occasionally they now come out, supervised, to participate in activities. I assume you that President Biden does not have ‘advanced dementia’.”
…where do I begin.
1. The fact you “live” next to a memory care unit and “occasionally see a patient” doesn’t even come CLOSE to making you any sort of expert, de facto or otherwise.
2. I spent over 5 years dealing directly with my own father who had dementia before he passed. I KNOW what it looks like UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL pal, not from some casual armchair observation.
I AM AN EXPERT ON IT. I dealt with it first hand for YEARS. So don’t tell me to “trust you”, troll.
3. Do you live next to a unit or IN one? You can’t even spell your own name right troll. You literally misspelled your own name in fabricating this rapid “handle change” you obviously just made from whatever other personality you obviously were using before you wrote this claptrap.
4. “I assume you that President Biden does not have ‘advanced dementia’” – yea, …maybe you do but I “ASSURE” you he does. Troll.
David B. Benson assured us Biden is fine: He does demonstrate certain signs of so-called ‘first stage’ dementia, as do many of us here in an assisted living facility.
Only first stage eh? Maybe not Fifth Stage?
Stage 1: No Cognitive Decline
At this stage, the person is able to function normally and doesn’t exhibit any signs of memory loss, confusion, or cognitive impairment.
However, the structure and functioning of their brain may have started to deteriorate, as the neurons (nerve cells) in their brain start to lose connection with other brain cells and die.
Stage 5: Moderately Severe Cognitive Decline
From this stage onward, the person may no longer be able to function without some assistance.
These are some of the symptoms of this stage:
Difficulty recalling an important detail such as their address, phone number, or high school
Disorientation in terms of place and time, such as confusion regarding the season, date, day of the week, or time of day
Difficulty counting backward from 20 by 2s or from 40s by 4s (provided they are educated and were once able to do this calculation)
Trouble with making decisions
In this stage, the person can likely still remember their own name and the names of their spouse and children, but they may struggle with recalling the names of their grandchildren. They may be able to eat and use the bathroom without assistance, but may need help with tasks such as deciding what to wear.
Stage 6: Severe Cognitive Decline
At this stage, the person may require a high degree of care, as they may have symptoms such as:
Difficulty remembering the names of their spouse, children, or primary caregivers
Lack of awareness regarding all the recent events and experiences in their life
Patchy or skewed recollection of their early life
Difficulty counting backward or forward to 10
Lack of awareness regarding their surroundings as well as the time and place
Inability to travel alone without assistance
Tendency to wander
The person is also likely to experience emotional and personality changes, such as:
Paranoia, hallucinations, and delusional behavior, such as talking to themselves or believing their caregivers are trying to harm them
Obsessive symptoms, such as repeatedly performing cleaning activities
Agitation, anxiety, and even violent behavior
Loss of willpower, due to being unable to carry a thought long enough to complete the action
During this stage, the person is likely to still be able to remember their name, as well as distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar people in their environment. They will probably need assistance with daily living activities and may experience incontinence as well as sleep-related difficulties.

Biden is proposing term limits to REMOVE THREE CONSERVATIVE JUDGES.
Stop lying to me. Stop lying to yourself.
Everything Chris Webber said was accurate and spot on.
Everything you said was a lie or TDS induced delusion.
Oh, and another poll has 52% of Americans want Biden to step down, now.
Farmer Up There, I assure you that he is wrong.
Oh, well, if the admitted dementia patient says he’s wrong…
“Oh, and another poll has 52% of Americans want Biden to step down, now.”
yea and that’s because the other 48 percent weren’t home.
Joe Biden is NOT “waging war in the Ukraine”–Vladamir Putin, is, and your hero, DJT, called Putin’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine “genius” and wonderful”. – GIGI
You’re lying. And worse your lie is for war.
No, JOE BIDEN and the Military Industrial complex and the Oligarchs enriching themselves off it are waging war in the Ukraine.
Putin said IN WRITING in prior to the invasion within 2 weeks of it that he’d NOT invade if Biden would simply agree to HONOR OUR PRIOR agreements to keep the Ukraine out of NATO.
That’s IT. That’s ALL Biden had to do to keep the war from ever happening, and hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians would still be alive.
Then after the invasion, and ever since Putin has made it clear he’s more than willing to stop the war IF we make that simple declaration, and agree to to keep NATO OUT OF THE UKRAINE, which is the HEART OF THE RUSSIAN CONTINENT.
The same way we wouldn’t allow Russian missiles in Cuba, pointing at our coastline Putin doesn’t want NATO missiles INSIDE his continent pointed at Moscow.
Only someone lying to themselves and everyone else would claim Putin’s the only one waging this war. This was a war that never had to be fought in the first place. BIDEN wanted this war because his HANDLERS wanted this war, because the OLIGARCHS AND Military Industrial Complex WANTED this war.
And THATS why we’re at war. Not to spread any “freedom” … a concept foreign to liberals these days who want to censor anything and everything they disagree with or don’t like.
So speak the truth troll, and stop talking like a fool.
Gigi was looking for attention with: a MAGAt who believes every lie he hears on MAGA media.
Gigi, that’s how Bolshevik Bytches On Broomsticks pimping for President Daddy-Daughter Inappropriate Sex Showers get the kind of attention they were lusting for as Soviet Democrat Marxist Useful Idiots.
Your collection of vibrators all faking dead batteries again today in hopes of avoiding any contact with you? Trying to get off by posting stuff like that here instead?
There’s skanks… and then there’s Round Heels Harris, leader of Gigi and the other Skank Sisters.
Did I not just see the President of the United States go on national television and admit he’s too far progressed into the stages of dementia to run in November?
No, he didn’t admit that. It’s clearly true, but he continues to deny it.
The Laura Coates show this week featured a constitutional law expert that had a great solution.
Nothing in the U.S. Constitution prohibits rotating federal judges onto the U.S. Supreme Court. Her idea was to allow each president to appoint 2 U.S. Supreme Court justices for a set term. When their term is over they go back to the loser courts – still retaining lifetime employment.
Also an enforceable code of conduct like every other judge in America.
Correction: “lower” courts
No, the constitution does prohibit that. Supreme Court Justice is an office, and judges appointed to that office are guaranteed tenure in that office. They can’t be switched to a different office, such as Circuit Court Judge.
All of this assumes the world can’t see that its only DEMOCRATS who want to introduce this law so as to try to overturn decisions already passed by conservative judges.
This is nothing more than a partisan attempt to take control of the court by removing conservative judges so Biden can replace them with liberal judges.
And they are doing this because they know Biden isn’t running, Harris can’t win so they want to stack the court before Biden leaves as one last blow to freedom, and one last attempt to circumvent the constitution by introducing authoritarian govt censorship through corporate collusion and corruption.
I hate the blindness created by partisan bootlicking. It makes fools of otherwise intelligent men and women.
Everything that Biden proposed would require a Constitutional amendment. That is impossible to accomplish with the remaining time he has in office, intelligent people would know this.
It would also be very unlikely to get support from Congress on any of this, especially term limits. It’s all kabuki theater for the open mouth droolers like yourself to chew on.
Biden’s handlers did not consult with Congress about their SCOTUS proposals, hence, it’s just theater. None of it will come to pass. It is catnip for the childless cat ladies (nod to JD Vance excellent comment) and estrogen for the low testosterone “white dudes for Harris”. The Kamala Harris campaign is as vacuous as many of us thought of her capabilities.
However, I have doubts the upcoming November presidential election will evolve peacefully, fairly and accurately. The results will be on par with Venezuela’s July 28, 2024 election. Given the Democrats
recenthistory to cheat, lie, manipulate and break voters laws, there is no data, no logic, no reason to expect or believe that the November 2024 election will be any different than the previous one. None!Venezuela is preparing us. Are Americans ready? or are they too fat, too broken, too unfit to fight for their freedoms?
In God we trust. All others must bring data

Here’s an idea.
Repeal the 19th Dumbmendment and initiate immigration by baby.
Nature abhors a vacuum, which is what American women have created.
Turley left out a few points as to why Democrats now want reforms.
Mitch McConnell denied Obama about 100 federal judge picks and a U.S. Supreme Court pick. A very liberal action not used against any other president on that scale.
Conservatives justified this cheating by citing the Bork nomination. That was only one judge (not 100 judges) and that was due to Bork’s obstruction of justice during Watergate.
By contrast, none of Obama’s judge picks were accused of obstruction of justice or any ethical reasons.
Can’t blame Biden, thank Mitch McConnel!
Blame Biden for what?
Do you honestly think there will be reforms?? LMAO
This was not about achieving reform.
Get a grip, spastic.
He didn’t leave out anything. I don’t see “democrats” asking for reforms in how Judges are appointed or approved.
So your points are irrelevant, but who is surprised.
Alternate reality???
LOL
😜
Elections have consequences
—-Barak Hussein Obama
Didn’t Obama expand the federal government more than any other President before him? I remember he also increased the National debt more than all Administrations combined before him, although some of that came from GW Bush and his unfunded wars.
An anonymous Soviet Democrat liar went full Lyin’ Like A Proud Biden with this lie:
Mitch McConnell denied Obama about 100 federal judge picks and a U.S. Supreme Court pick. A very liberal action not used against any other president on that scale.
1. No SCOTUS nominee made by a sitting lame duck president in an election year has EVER been seated on SCOTUS since James Garfield in the 1800’s. That’s the truth – versus the lie posted by the Anonymous Soviet Democrat.
2. Ten times between 1796 and 1968 Presidents have attempted to fill a Supreme Court vacancy in an election year when the opposing party controlled the Senate.
Only two of the ten nominees were confirmed by that opposing Senate. Obama decided to try his luck to become the third by nominating his fellow police state fascist, Merrick Garland. But, like almost all previous 80% of those lame duck president nominations by both parties, his nominee was also kicked to the curb by the opposing Senate.
There is absolutely nothing either out of precedent nor “liberal action” about this. No matter how much Anonymous cowards lie claiming there is.
It’s all precedent and historical norms. Including before Obama, when Bush’s final nominees were blocked by then Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman, Democrat Senator Patrick Leahy.
They got exactly the same treatment Obama’s Merrick Garland got eight years later. Among those who never got a hearing from the Soviet Democrat Senate were appellate court nominees Peter Keisler, Robert J. Conrad, Steve A. Matthews and Glen E. Conrad. The The last three seats would later be filled by Obama’s nominees: James A. Wynn Jr., Albert Diaz, and Barbara Milano Keenan.
Look at that! Three judicial seats stolen by Obama! Maybe Anonymous cowards should be required to attend civics classes if they’re unaware of all of this.
Unfortunately for Obama (and his nominee), his Vice President Joe Biden had just enacted The Biden Golden Rule during the Bush presidency.
Biden, while Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told then President Bush that he shouldn’t make a nomination while the opposing party controlled the Senate. And told the Democrat controlled Senate that if Bush did make a nomination, they should refuse to consider it. Biden wanted to change the historical process for presidents nominating justices to block a Bush nominee, and he succeeded in doing that.
So as Obama violated his VP’s new Biden Golden Rule, the Republicans used the same Biden Rule (originally intended by Democrats to stop Bush from making a nomination, not Obama) to kick Obama’s nominee to the curb.
How amusing that the Soviet Democrats are screwed by their very own manipulation of Senate rules – and now they whimper and whine like the barren little cat ladies they are about what they did to themselves.
By contrast, none of Obama’s judge picks were accused of obstruction of justice or any ethical reasons.
Imagine that! Republicans don’t lie like vicious Soviet Democrats, accusing The Racist Wise Latina Woman Justice Sotomayor, the Notorious Justice Ruth Bader Ginsbert of ethics violations and obstruction of justice!
That’s how the American system of justice works, and it’s reckless, it’s dangerous, it’s irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don’t like the verdict. Our justice system has endured for nearly 250 years, and it literally is a cornerstone of America. Our justice system should be respected. We should never allow anyone to tear it down. It’s as simple as that.
—–Joe Biden, May 2024
This decision today has continued the Court’s attack in recent years on a wide range of long-established legal principles in our nation, from gutting voting rights and civil rights to taking away a woman’s right to choose to today’s decision that undermines the rule of law of this nation.
—–Joe Biden, June 2024
The extreme opinions that the supreme court has handed down have undermined long-established civil rights principles and protections. They’re planning another onslaught attacking civil rights in America.
—-Joe Biden July 2024
You people on the left are a bunch of sick, degenerate fvcks. Beyond weird.
Wouldn’t it take a constitutional amendment to put term limits on the Supreme Court? Article III Section 1 says: “The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour….” They can only be removed for “bad behavior” (aka, impeachment) unless that section is amended, isn’t that the implication there?
“Ex post facto”: Article I, sec 9 (existing Supreme Court Justices), “? Retroactive ?”
Article III, sec1 “shall hold their offices during good Behaviour”.
The American Left and their disciples are deploying a siege operation on America. Their prolonged assaults and misinformation campaigns have deepened the gulf between the citizenry and is now causing some to distrust our agreed foundational documents. Theses fools [and their turpitude] MUST be shown the door.
Turpitude: depravity, corruptness, vice, iniquity, degeneracy or just outright Wickedness.
“The American Left and their disciples are deploying a siege operation on America.”
As a Reagan conservative I think I speak for other conservatives to say that Trump and his followers, who falsely claim to be “conservative” are nothing more than regurgitated George Wallace democrats… aimless and full of animosity for an America that they doesn’t look like themselves. I gladly add my voice to shitcan MAGA.
You’re a lying sack of shit liberal and we all know it.
Get lost.
Bwahahahahahahaha
Look at the douchebag Lawn Boi trying to pretend he is some random conservative who just showed up here today.
Nice try, dum dum.
Bwahahahahahahahaha
Look at a paranoid f widget barking into the wind.
Hahahaha i knew it was you. So juvenile and transparent.
You couldn’t have known it was me…, because it wasn’t me. You deluded and paranoid douche tractor. You’re hilarious. I’m guessing you suffer from active hallucinations…, do you go into fits in public? I’d love to see it so I could laugh my ass off at you speaking in tongues and all. What a complete moron. Bahahahahahahahahaha
You’ll have to add some new candles to your George Wallace shrine.
Sux to be outed so easily, eh?
Wallace the democrat???
F Trump, his supporters and you.
It will make your mouth sore.
Is your AKA “Bill Kristol” or “George Conway”? Fish will bite any lure!
Who doesn’t want all of America to be like Baltimore or Detroit?
And that look we want, is not in a mirror or photo, it’s character and democrats have NONE. We do not care what you look like as long as you have good character and are productive and not trying to redistribute my money for your power.
BTW, Trump is a JFK democrat.
OT, but related to Biden, President Biden – A Single Point of Failure for America

“Trump claims Facebook, Google censored assassination attempt content”
https://thehill.com/policy/technology/4800324-trump-criticizes-facebook-google-censor/
LOL — the TITLE says “Trump claims.” as if Trump has no facts or as if Trump is the first person to raise this issue. But if you read the article, you find that Facebook has ADMITTED it as a FACT, and Google isn’t denying it and is only claiming that searchers can work around its auto-complete search feature.
And if you read news at other sites, you also know that Elon Musk mentioned this LONG before Trump mentioned it. Yet The Garbage Hill — knowing that MOST people only read the headline, not the full story — phrases its headline about this as if it’s just something that Trump “claims.”
The Hill continues to sink ever lower in terms of credibility, and should probably change its name from The Hill to The Heil, given the wide variety of Nazi propaganda techniques that it employs while publishing “news.”
Professor Turley might wanna rethink using The Heil to publish his columns.
>”“Facebook has just admitted that it wrongly censored the Trump ‘attempted assassination photo,’ and got caught. Same thing for Google,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “They made it virtually impossible to find pictures or anything about this heinous act.” ~ Story
The FBI and Secret Service (acting Director) are continuing to thoroughly and exhaustively investigate this matter for as long as it takes .. . and have vowed before congress to leave no stone unredacted.
*the iconic photos with a defiant Trump and his bloody ear will be hard to sweep under the rug, imo.
“The FBI and Secret Service (acting Director) are continuing to thoroughly and exhaustively investigate this matter for as long as it takes .. . and have vowed before congress to leave no stone unredacted.”
LOL — and if you believe that, I’ve got some COVID “vaccine” to sell you — guaranteed to NOT protect you from COVID.
Turley, you enable Trump every chance you get and you write to and for the Trump cult, who could care less about American democracy. And yet your worried about a branch of the government that Project 2025 and Trump will dismantle in a New York minute. King Donald as the SCOTUS has already determined is above the law, so as far as King Donald is concerned he doesn’t need the SCOTUS anymore.
Fishstick, you do know the good professor does not mention Trump once in this column?
Your TDS is showing. Get help.
Fishdip will NEVER understand the scales of balance…😂
“who could care less about American democracy”.
How many primaries have Democrats obviously rigged?
They screwed Hillary. They screwed Bernie. They screwed Biden.
They screwed their own voters. Again.
Why? Because Democrats count on the stupidity of their voters (like you, Fishy).
Because it is the Democrats who do not GAF about democracy, or rule of law, or the Constitution.
They care only about power. By any means.
Fishy, Do you think brainwashed people know they are in a Cult?
Cuz you is brainwashed with a capital B.
And you are in a Cult. You have no original thoughts, no ability to think or reason.
You just regurgitate the propaganda of your Dear Leaders.
It appears you are too far gone to save.
How sad.
Dems are dumb. Want to be a Judge? Check off the Right Boxes – No Merit or Knowledge of Constitutional Law Required.
https://shorturl.at/qk6hE
Instead exand the court to 15 members.
Why not 55?
Spastic
I should think professors would proof read their idiocy.
All of Biden’s proposals are quite reasonable, and all have been floated before.
Wont happen, it would require Congress to agree to term limits themselves to amend the Constitution. That would cut into their cashflow as well as disrupt the lobbyists paying their salaries. It will NEVER happen, DOA.
With friends [of the court] like Joe Biden who needs enemies.
Obviously, it’s within the realm of ‘reason’ to propose term limits for SCOTUS justices .. . as well as distinguished professors at elite universities.
Lifetime appointments to the courts (and universities) is no guarantee against adverse political corruption. .. and never has been.
*Things change .. . and forever is a long time.
Yep, floated every time someone doesn’t like the results
Dear Mr. Turley, well, the final assault on the last institution left standing has begun. Mr. Turley, you are right in pointing out that even if Mr. Biden is unable to change the Supreme Court to the Left’s liking, a Harris administration will pick up where he left off. The Democrats have been assaulting the Supreme Court as an institution as well as the Judges themselves. Addresses of the various Judges were posted online and daily demonstration were occurring at Judge Kavanaugh’s home, where his 2 young girls reside. Democrats have turned to bullying to force their way into the political life of this country. They can’t seem to stand the thought that half the country does not agree with them.
Speaking of weird, Vance claims parents of children 18 yrs or younger should get extra votes over the childless voters. How would that work?
That’s about as weird as importing millions of illegal immigrants and registering them to vote in American elections. Go figure! Last I recall, that number is north of 40 million, that’s more than some States entire population. The global corporations want the customers, who’s going to rent all those apartments they built? Look at the WW2 pics of the bombed out Europe, depicting bombed out row houses. It’s their milking parlor!
How many million of illegals voted last time? Trump never produced evidence of his claims. He is known to lie on occasion.
How would we know? They arent required tio show proof of citizenship.
He knows, he’s seen the proof because he keeps saying millions voted. He must have seen hard evidence, yet he doesn’t bother to show it. Weird isn’t it? Perhaps he’s….lying?
Trump is generally known for his sales-puffery and exaggerations. If you call those lies, then you yourself are in deep kimchi. Weird, isn’t it? Perhaps you’re….puffing or exaggerating?
No standing…
When he wins perhaps it will be revealed. Democrats would refute no matter what is shown, do you really believe Dementia Joe got more votes than than Oblowme?
Like you do everyday? How many times does mconnell “keeps” freezing?
You’re a pathological liar, lying about something as inconsequential as that.
How many mail in ballots were cast based on a phony census count?
Curious how Act Blue communicates to their paid trolls their daily talking points, seeing that “weird” is the latest TP. Is it via:
1. drag “its not gonna lick itself” shows with underage kids
2. surgical centers where girls have breast removal surgeries
3. Planned Barrenhood centers where boys have gender “remove their nuts” affirming drugs dispensed?
4. Airport luggage terminals where Mx Sam Brinton steals luggage…dressed as a man?
weird
Don’t you know? How would you know if they were cast? So many assumptions without evidence, it must be true then.
where there’s smoke, there’s generally fire.
There were quite a few sworn affidavits attesting to voter fraud and volumes of ballots. No standing…
2000 Mules, pretty convincing support of illegal ballot harvesting.
make a law.
Interesting, promulgated at State level based on census for establishment of districts? That would combat the Democrats use of non-citizens in the census numbers for establishing Congressional districts and seats.
Only property owners (people with skin in the game so to speak) should vote…..which is what I think the founders wanted. And that may still happen. Unfortunately, it will happen AFTER Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street, et. al., own all of the properties. Government workers should not be permitted to vote given they’ll never vote away, or vote for anything that will imperil their own salaries/pensions, etc. People who cannot read or write should not vote either. Again, something that will never happen, but should. I could go on but I won’t given that I’m sure I’ve raised enough cackles by now.
No cackles from me. I would further limit U.S. real property ownership to U.S. citizens or those who have applications on file for naturalization (LPRs). In the last year (march 2023 to march 2024), foreign nationals spent $42 billion on residential properties in the USA.
And why in the world are we interested in China owning our agricultural land?

The corollary of that is that the rest of the world must similarly prohibit Americans who have not applied for citizenship from owning real property outside of the USA.
Heading that list of Americans prohibited by foreign nations from owning land outside of the USA unless they can provide proof of applying for citizenship in those countries would be one Donald Trump. The WalMart Walton family is probably up there as well. Americans almost certainly have far more investment in real property in countries outside the USA that they haven’t applied to immigrate to than citizens of foreign countries have in the USA. Canadians to our north and Mexicans to the south own more real property in America than Americans do in Canada and the USA? I don’t think so…
You sure you’re down with that? Because to me, with all due respect, it sounds about as stupid as the idea of a 10% blanket tariff on every item and service from outside the USA. There’s no way that the nations of those foreign citizens wouldn’t respond with countervailing property laws and duties?
Old Airborne: The points you make are valid, and one of your better comments to others. I appreciate it. BUT Let me go further.
(1) I did not say or imply that current foreign investors must be divested of their realty interests in the U.S.
(2) Consistent with that, the largest foreign investors in U.S. realty are Canada and Mexico–both CONTIGUOUS and part of the continental North America.
The THIRD largest investor is CHINA- 7,500 miles away, and China has a land mass/land area 2.2 times as big as the U.S. Why do you think China is interested in buying U.S. realty, particularly its agricultural land?
(3) Let’s continue with China as example. Americans or expats can only purchase residential property and must either be studying or employed in China for one year prior to purchase. China is also buying up real estate in Canada and South America. Why do you think?
(4) Just last year (2023), Canada passed the specious Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act, –limited to Canadian citizens, permanent residents of Canada, and persons registered under the Indian Act.
(5) For me, it is about CONTINUITY in securing continental interests, VETTING, and RECIPROCITY.
A few things for you to look at:

Your response? Thank you.
Renters are not property owners. Do those who own cars qualify, it is property after all.
The founders wanted only men to vote too. Should we abolish the right to vote for women?
Why shouldn’t government workers not be able to vote? They could be property owners too.
Idiot
So easily baited.
Joie posted Government workers should not be permitted to vote given they’ll never vote away or vote for anything that will imperil their own salaries/pensions, etc.
As one of those government workers who spent 30 years in a paratrooper’s uniform and another 10 years in a federal LEO’s uniform, I feel your pain that leads you to believe we’re unworthy of the right to vote.
I’m going to counter your demand with one of my own: If you haven’t spent at least ten years carrying a gun in the defense of our nation and your fellow citizens, either as a combat soldier or a cop, YOU don’t get to have a say in anything about voting or government.
And equally obviously, that means you also don’t get the right to vote that should only be given to Americans willing to put on a uniform, pick up a gun, and go to work to protect their fellow Americans.
However, I’m not as bug eyed nuts as you, so I’m not going to demand that. I’m just going to laugh in your general direction while throwing you a two finger salute.
If Congress can impose term limits and ethics requirements on the Supreme Court, a co-equal branch of government, should not the Supreme Court be able to impose term limits and ethics requirements on Congress. What’s good for the goose…
Voters set term limits for congress each vote cast. People for congressional term limits are saying voters are too stupid to have voting rights.
They may be right.
You are offering proof that they are right
What’s good for the goose… *YES INDEED* Is good for the Gander! – All’s Fair in LawFair !
Just DO It!
SC can’t make laws. You fail civics 101.
How quaintly conservative!
But, apparently, they’ve been given the ability to die while trying. According to my understanding from a knowledgeable attorney with an online presence, the SC serves at the discretion and at the pleasure of the Executive.
WTF are you talking about???
Just so it’s understood, Joe Biden’s tactics are not his own. From Saul Alinsky. “The most unethical of all means is the non-use of any means. The means and ends moralists constantly obsessed with ethics of means used by the “Have Nots” against the “Haves” should introspect (search within) themselves as to their real political position. Their obsession with ethical means turns them into allies of “Haves” and enemies of “Have Nots”. Simply put, ethics is of no consequence in the quest for power. Kamala is a good student because she was tutored by Joe Biden who was tutored by Barack Obama who was tutored by Saul Alinsky who was tutored by Karl Marx. Be not deceived.
“The History of Past News that Skirted National Coverage,” by lin.
Soon to be published. (N.O.T.)
Abstract:
Mass communications/National Mainstream Media (MSM) have a significantly greater and more palpable effect on voters, and affecting the views/opinions of the public at large, –than whether SCOTUS justices are conservative or liberal in their personal lives.
The good Professor Turley (a self-declared Democrat) has the courage to call it like it is, labeling Biden “a political opportunist.”
MSM/NATIONAL MEDIA has had years to go back and highlight some of Biden’s worst wrongs in trying to secure his “political opportunity” but has largely remained reticent. Why?
-When has MSM/National Media secured prime-time interviews and examples of years of Biden’s flagrant past of repeated plagiarism and self-re-appropriation of others’ ideas and plans; -of outright lies about his qualifying credentials and past experiences; -of “Borking” justice nominees or political opponents? Why was that left to parochial/non-MSM coverage, if any? Why does it take John Schwartz in today’s comment section on this blog site to remind us?
Now, -just this morning,- ABC’s nationally-syndicated Good Morning America interviewed a “nephew” of Donald Trump, who, in HIS BRAND NEW BOOK, wants to tell America what a jerk Trump was when the nephew was growing up and in later years (we all remember the coverage afforded –and is still being given–to niece Mary Trump and HER book). How many YEARS after-the-fact? The timing is curious.
Where are the ostensibly-neutral MSM seeking out dirt on Biden and Harris the way they have Trump and Vance?
Where are the solicited private whistleblowers/interviewees ..the college roommates who could tell us of Biden’s cheating on tests? Or ex-friends of Kamala who can relate conversations about her prejudices or her seeking out persons who could help her political aspirations? Instead, dismissive anecdotal coverage appears sufficient, followed by pantloads of redeeming coverage. Are we to believe that only SELECT favorable recollections represent the whole story??
(And a reminder of my own: I am NOT a fan of Trump’s personality–BUT I have always expressed and supported the “fair is fair” and “goose/gander” principles in media responsibility.) The lack of interest and silence of national media/MSM–on anything negative about Biden or Harris– is stunning.
Lin,
Great comment!
@lin
Prof Turley, bless his heart, thinks Joe Biden has ‘inviolate’ principles. That’s not been my observation .. . any wind can blow him.
*afaict, the/our ‘msm’ are the greatest purveyors ‘dis, mis & mal’information on the planet.
Sounds just like a democrats twmper tantrum.
Turls, by far your best ideas was how to expand the court. Of course you put it out there in order to get the kind of right wing advantage it now has, which is why you want to protect the current version as is.
Term limits>> great idea. The court is out of control and run by hired factions from the right wing with no consequences for awful behavior. 18 year term limits so that each president gets a chance to name members. Full stop. What McConnell did in Obama’s term, and trump’s term was criminal.
Criminal? Perhaps you could hit us with the statute.
Obstruction of justice.
Point of history to Anonymous: McConnell was able to have Supreme Court nominees approved in the Senate by a majority vote thanks to the previous leader of that body, Harry Reid, a member of the Democrat Party, who changed the relevant rules.
Harry Reid didn’t give McConnell the ability to obstruct justice and not put a legit nominee up for a vote. Or to ignore his own precedent a push a nominee through so quickly.
“ability to obstruct justice”
Do you enjoy your own reality?
Anonymous liar and/or Soviet Democrat Useful Idiot: Harry Reid didn’t give McConnell the ability to obstruct justice and not put a legit nominee up for a vote.
TEN TIMES before lame duck president Obama nominated his fellow police state fascist Merrick Garland to an opposition party controlled Senate in an election year, other lame duck presidents from both parties did the same thing with an opposition Senate in an election year. Only TWO of those ten were confirmed by the opposition senate – the last one about 150 years ago. That’s kind of what that word you used, “precedent”
Soviet Democrats who applauded Bolshevik Barack and Bribery Biden telling the FBI to perjure themselves to FISA judges to get illegal counterespionage search warrants to spy on everybody remotely close to Trump have really weird Soviet ideas of what “obstruct justice” means.
BTW, you feckless Anonymous Soviet Democrat coward… you don’t have to post while quaking in fear, your identity hidden from the world in the dark Anonymous shadows without a username. Unless you post lies Anonymously by choice.

“What McConnell did in Obama’s term, and trump’s term was criminal.”
Lawn Boy making shit up in his alternate reality.
Nah, McConnell was the one who just made s#$t up. You just like the fact he did it.
Why hasn’t he been charged?
Which statute is it he violated?
Like I said, just makin’ shit up.
Lack of prosecutorial will in the DOJ. What McConnell did was literally obstruction of justice. And, as we all know, you’re an asshat.
Who is we, smeagol?
If you’re looking for partners, i am afraid you are more deluded than thought.
What statute? Just makin shit up….a real asshat trait.
Asshat, they want their 2000’s insults back.
Spastic idiot
Have another sip, drunktard
The court is out of control and run by hired factions from the right wing with no consequences for awful behavior.
That’s police state fascist Anonymous Soviet Democrat speak for: “Now that SCOTUS gave Obama his Obamacare – and then doubled down and allowed Obama to amend Obamacare with his phone and pen from the Oval office, along with Homosexual Marriage and Dreamers… they’ve now failed to legislate from the bench and thus they’re out of control for their awful behavior in no longer giving us what we want”
What McConnell did in Obama’s term
How DARE McConnell do to Obama’s lame duck nominee the same thing as McConnell’s predecessor Majority Leader, Pat Lahaey, did to Bush’s lame duck nominees!!!!
Because it’s only “awful behavior” when it’s not us doing what we’re whining about, but Republicans instead.
Glad I could offer something for you to have a conversation with yourself in public about.
