Liberal MSM Loses Their Mind Upon Justice Kennedy Retirement … MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, ‘Hell to Pay’ If Democrats Don’t Block Anthony Kennedy Replacement (VIDEO)

THE LIBERAL MSM LOSING THEIR MINDS WITH JUSTICE KENNEDY RETIREMENT ANNOUNCEMENT …

Hmm, so why would the liberal MSM become so insane by the announcement of the retirement of Justice Kennedy? Do they think the Supreme Court is supposed to be more powerful than the Legislative or Executive branches of government? Yesterday, following the retirement announcement of Justice Kennedy, the LEFT-wing Democrat media lost their minds. MSNBC’s Chris Matthews stated, that if Democrats “don’t use everything they’ve got, if they don’t play hardball, I think they’re through.” Matthews went on to say, “If they allow Trump to fill the Supreme Court with another conservative who will not share Justice Anthony Kennedy’s views on social issues like marriage quality, then the Democratic leadership “will have hell to pay.” The LEFT, Democrats and the liberal MSM can kick, scream, whine and throw all the temper tantrums they want. The fact of the matter is they have no power to stop it.  Honestly, who thinks that had Hillary Clinton won the 2016 Presidential election, Heaven forbid, that she would have appointed a Justice comparable to that of Scalia? As for Kennedy, he might not have even considered stepping down.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Wednesday said that the Senate would hold a vote on Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s successor this fall.

 MSNBC’s Chris Matthews did not mince words in reacting to Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s surprise retirement announcement on Wednesday.

“I don’t think the Democrats should allow meetings to occur with Trump’s nominee to fill this vacancy by Justice Kennedy,” Matthews said. “I think they have to fight eye for an eye for what happened in ‘16 when the Republicans, led by Mitch McConnell, refused to even consider or even meet with Merrick Garland.”

If the Democratic leadership under Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer “allows this to go forward,” Matthews continued, they are going to have a “huge problem with the Democratic base.” He pointed to incumbent Congressman Joe Crowley’s loss the night before to young progressive Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a sign of just how vulnerable the establishment wing of the Democratic Party is right now.

“There is no way politically the Democratic base will stand for any kind of hearings or vote for a Trump nominee before the election,” he added. “We’ve got an election in four and half months. There’s no reason to consider a replacement on the Supreme Court in that time.” Matthews said McConnell has “no right” to bring a nominee up for a vote after what he did to Merrick Garland two years ago.

Who finds this comical that the LEFT is going crazy over a Ronald Reagan SCOTUS appointee?

BOMBSHELL: Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy Retiring

THIS WILL IMPACT THE COURT FOR A GENERATION, MAYBE TWO …

Yesterday, Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced he will be retiring from the bench at the end of July. A Press release issued by the Supreme Court announcing the decision by Justice Kennedy to step down from the SCOTUS at the end of July 2018.  Kennedy, 81, has been the swing vote on the Supreme Court with his decisions often determine the deciding vote on a court split 4 to 4 between liberals and conservatives even though he was considered a conservative. This swing vote now may be replace with a Conservative Constitutionalist that may impact the Court for generations.  Justice Kennedy was  appointed by President Reagan in 1987 and sworn in on February 18, 1988.

The 81-year-old Kennedy, often a voice of moderation over three decades on the court, provided the key vote on such closely divided issues as affirmative action, guns, campaign finance and voting rights in addition to same-sex marriage and the right to abortion.

Kennedy informed his colleagues of his plans, then went to the White House to meet with Trump, where the president said they talked for half an hour about a potential successor and other topics. The retirement will take effect at the end of July.

Trump praised Kennedy as a man of “tremendous vision” and said his search for a new justice would begin “immediately.”

Trump’s first high court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, was confirmed in April 2017. If past practice is any indication, the president will name a nominee within weeks, setting in motion a process that could allow confirmation by the time the court reconvenes in early October.

Trump already has a list of 25 candidates — 24 judges and Utah Sen. Mike Lee — and has said he would choose a nominee from that list.

The letter from Justice Kennedy to President Donald Trump.

Justice Kennedy Retirement letter

Justice Kennedy was the second-oldest member of the court. The oldest, Democrat Ruth Bader Ginsburg, is 85 and has been treated for pancreatic cancer, followed by another Left leaning liberal, Stephen Breyer, who is 79.

Rep. Maxine Waters Does Not Like It When Tables Turned as Conservative Reporter Laura Loomer Presses Assault Charges Against Her (VIDEO)

WHAT’S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE … REP. WATERS DOES NOT LIKE IT WHEN SHE IS TREATED LIKE SHE WANTED OTHERS HARASSED …

Yesterday, Conservative investigative journalist Laura Loomer confronted Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) outside of her office on Monday evening in the wake of Water’s online press conference and call to action to harass Trump cabinet members and supporters. Watch the video below. It would appear that Rep. Waters does not like it when the same is done to her. But the key difference is Loomer went of Water’s place of work.

Laura Loomer asked Maxine Waters, “Should conservatives sit in the back of the bus?” and “Where should conservatives eat?” All Waters could do is swat at her and run.

The video is priceless as to shows the Leftist double standard as the usual loud mouthed Waters cannot run fast enough and escape the questioning to her House members only elevator. The optics are amazing. The representative of the people, calling for the harassment of others in public settings, escaping to her private elevator with a smirk on her face. Pure class.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders to Receive Secret Service Protection

AND SO SHE SHOULD … INDIVIDUALS NEED TO BE ARRESTED WHO WANT TO HARASS OTHERS LIKE THIS.

As  reported at CNN, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders is going to receive Secret Service protection as soon as Wednesday. It is unknown as to how long she will have a protection detail. This comes on the foot-heels of Sanders being asked to leave a Virginia restaurant for the sin of working for President Trump and also the recent hostile and vile harassment of others who work in the Trump administration. Such incidents have begun a national debate on civility in American politics. The Progressive Left appears to have no shame in how they will act. With the likes of Rep. Maxine Waters fanning the flames and creating a dangerous environment, this is headed down a road that will not end well.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders is expected to receive Secret Service protection as soon as Wednesday, two sources familiar with the decision tell CNN, but they did not specify how long it will last.

The Secret Service declined to comment, telling CNN: “For operational security purposes the Secret Service does not comment on its protective operations.”
The news comes days after Sanders was asked to leave a small Lexington, Virginia, restaurant because of her role with the Trump administration, a move that has since sparked a national conversation on civility and public service in the age of Trump.

NBC News first reported that Sanders would begin receiving protection.

U.S. Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Trump Travel Ban in 5-4 Decision

SCOTUS VICTORY FOR TRUMP TRAVEL BAN … MAKING AMERICA SAFE AGAIN.

VIA CNBC, On Tuesday the SCOTUS ruled 5-4 in favor of President Donald Trump’s order to restrict travel from several seven countries to the United States. Those countries include, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen. As reported by CNBC,  “The [order] is expressly premised on legitimate purposes: preventing entry of nationals who cannot be adequately vetted and inducing other nations to improve their practices,” Chief Justice Roberts says. “The text says nothing about religion.” President Trump lauded the victory, while the LEFT lost their collective minds. The Left and the MSM call it a Muslim ban even though according to the Pew Research Center in 2010, there were 50 Muslim-majority countries in the world. According to the math, only 90% of Muslim countries are not on the banned list as not even the LEFT could say that North Korea and Venezuela were Muslim counties.

The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in favor of President Donald Trump’s September order to restrict travel from several majority Muslim countries to the United States.

In the 5-4 opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court found that Trump’s travel restriction fell “squarely” within the president’s authority. The court rejected claims that the ban was motivated by religious hostility.

“The [order] is expressly premised on legitimate purposes: preventing entry of nationals who cannot be adequately vetted and inducing other nations to improve their practices,” Roberts wrote. “The text says nothing about religion.”

The case, Trump v. Hawaii, has been central to the administration’s travel policy, presenting a key test of the president’s campaign promise to restrict immigration and secure America’s borders.

The LEFT loses their mind over this travel ban, seriously? Let’s take a look at those on the list, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen. Iran, the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world. Really, we should think that they are properly vetting individuals, really? Libya, thanks to Obama’s destabilization of that country, it is in chaos. Somalia? Do we even know who is running it other than war lords? Syria, and Yemen? C’mon folks.

But as per CNN, President Barack Obama did the same thing and had many of these same countries on his ban list. So why is the LEFT all of a sudden going crazy when the Obamamessiah pretty much did the same? TDS of course.

In December 2015, President Obama signed into law a measure placing limited restrictions on certain travelers who had visited Iran, Iraq, Sudan, or Syria on or after March 1, 2011. Two months later, the Obama administration added Libya, Somalia, and Yemen to the list, in what it called an effort to address “the growing threat from foreign terrorist fighters.”
