  1. Mr. R.E.C. or Ted Cruz.. NEED to watch; Arnold Schwarzenegger and learn what patriotism means; and never forget forget yours roots…thanks.

  2. Why are all Trump's appointees crooked, liars, and pretend that they didn't or were not aware of knowing anything or something? Barrett didn't do her job then, before accepting the money she received from all those entities that we're paying her! How convenient, right? She just accepted the money, pretending she didn't know and or wasn't aware what these entities were for. Then why did she accept the money from these entities, does she think that she deserves to get that money just because she is Amy? It is obvious that she either doesn't prepare herself well before a trial, or she was lying!

  3. Cruz is not nearly as smart as he thinks he is. The premise of his arguments are bogus. Partisan hack.

  4. Imagine talking about this without considering Obama had the Congress against him in 2016 when Scalia died much more suddenly than Ginsburg, but Trump has the Congress on his side and Ginsburg has been practically dead for years now.

  5. I don't agree with trump but he's right. Lying ted should never be trusted and his wife is ugly asf🇺🇸🇺🇸

  6. The following are a few of the liars, worshipers of their god tRump, who said they would not support the nomination of a supreme court justice months away from an election:

    2016: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas): “It has been 80 years since a Supreme Court vacancy was nominated and confirmed in an election year. There is a long tradition that you don’t do this in an election year.”

    2018: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.): “If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump’s term, and the primary process has started, we’ll wait to the next election.”

    2016: Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.): “I don’t think we should be moving on a nominee in the last year of this president’s term – I would say that if it was a Republican president.”

    2016: Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.): “The very balance of our nation’s highest court is in serious jeopardy. As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I will do everything in my power to encourage the president and Senate leadership not to start this process until we hear from the American people.”

    2016: Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa): “A lifetime appointment that could dramatically impact individual freedoms and change the direction of the court for at least a generation is too important to get bogged down in politics. The American people shouldn’t be denied a voice.”

    2016: Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.): “The campaign is already under way. It is essential to the institution of the Senate and to the very health of our republic to not launch our nation into a partisan, divisive confirmation battle during the very same time the American people are casting their ballots to elect our next president.”

    2016: Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.): “In this election year, the American people will have an opportunity to have their say in the future direction of our country. For this reason, I believe the vacancy left open by Justice Antonin Scalia should not be filled until there is a new president.”

    2016: Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.): “The Senate should not confirm a new Supreme Court justice until we have a new president.”

    2016: Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Col.): “I think we’re too close to the election. The president who is elected in November should be the one who makes this decision.”

    2016: Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio): “I believe the best thing for the country is to trust the American people to weigh in on who should make a lifetime appointment that could reshape the Supreme Court for generations. This wouldn’t be unusual. It is common practice for the Senate to stop acting on lifetime appointments during the last year of a presidential term, and it’s been nearly 80 years since any president was permitted to immediately fill a vacancy that arose in a presidential election year.”

    2016: Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.): “I strongly agree that the American people should decide the future direction of the Supreme Court by their votes for president and the majority party in the U.S. Senate. “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.” — Mitch McConnell, March 2016

    2016: mitch mcconnell “One of my proudest moments was when I looked at Barack Obama in the eye and I said, Mr. President, you will not fill this Supreme Court vacancy!”……

  7. Maybe appointment to SCOTUS should be taken away from the President and passed to congress. It's too important to be a partisan issue in the hands of one man that's a short term incumbent

  8. people act like supporting the constitution and supporting a SC Judge that supports it, is radical, (..but that’s a part of the oath every judge takes that they will uphold the constitution 🤔

  9. She was a brilliant mind, a living legend. During her long life, she's been through some hard stuff, but she never played anything down, she never wavered, she told the truth.She stood for human rights. The rights of all the American people. Regardless of who they are In one word:She stood for justice. I guess that's what our president had in mind when he said truthfully:«She was an amazing woman, whether you agree or not.»https://youtu.be/24QKYig1prU

  10. Youre all blind. It doesn't matter what he said in the past. We have our cities burning and a breach of power by democrats. Its needed to maintain our constitution and clean the swamp wake up. Democrats are pushing every narrative they can.

  11. Trumps first plan was to have the postmaster general throw away mail in ballots… that plan failed. Now, trump has come out and publicly said he wants the mail in ballots thrown out, they know most mail in ballots will be for Democrats and the vote tally for in person voting will most likely favor trump. They plan on challenging the mail in ballots in court, just like florida 20 years ago, installing another supreme court justice is part of the plan. Republican party is already in talks with republican controlled state legislatures, to install trump loyal electors to the college before the dec.8 th deadline to install trump for a second term. Do not allow this to happen, make your vote count, vote early in person if you can, vote in person on Nov. 3rd if you have to…Make sure you are registered. Finally it's not enough to just vote yourself, convince at least 2 people you know that don't vote that voting this time is the most important thing… the United States is in danger of becoming an authoritarian dictatorship if they don't.

  12. Little Lying Ted…so desperate to get his personal weird philosophies into the mainstream…. completely unfit for anything.

  13. 29 times in history a nomination was made but none were confirmed in the last 80 years? So I guess when Obama was president the previous 76 years was all that mattered but now that Trump is president ALL of America's history matters. Lying, deceitful, despicable scumbag.

  14. The repulsive democrats have already started. Watch them disgustingly attack & tear up this woman SCOTUS nominee. Pay attention democrat ladies. Do you want these women haters running the country?

  15. Man this is bullshit! The crap he just tried to pull after playing his own words back to him is just ridiculous! Karma is a bitch just you watch!

  16. The beard is horrible on an already sappy sad face and took over a year to grow. Now about the politics. Like he had Any say in this new bench decision. What a sap
