Thune: Democrats Throw Tantrum While Republicans Remain Focused on Constitutional Duty

“One of the principal reasons that many GOP senators – myself included – ran for office was to confirm principled judges to our courts.”

WASHINGTON —  U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) today responded to various threats and accusations from Democrats regarding the Senate’s expected consideration of the president’s upcoming Supreme Court nominee. While Democrats threaten Republicans, and the American people, for that matter, with actions like court-packing and the elimination of the Senate filibuster, Republicans maintain their focus on the American people and continuing to uphold their elected responsibilities.

  1. Thank you, Mr. Thune! It would truly be negligent to the point of shameful to delay voting on a nominee. I am glad we are represented by two Senators who are so dedicated to this principle.

      1. Different scenario then: Dem President and Republican Senate.

        Also, with what the Democrats want to do with this country based upon their march left, we will need jurists on the Supreme Court who actually look to the Constitution and don’t act like they are lawmakers.

        1. So it isn’t about their job of appointing a Supreme Court nominee, it’s about appointing someone you agree with. Just say that. You’ve won and there is nothing that can be done about it. Just be honest that you have a chance to take control of the Supreme Court and you are going to do it.

          1. No one should have a problem with a supreme court that makes judgments based on the constitution, rather than ideology.

            2. Everyone who writes opinions Springer agrees with don’t have ideologies. Springer is the sole arbiter of what is and is not ideology.

  3. Republicans lost the popular vote in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2008, 2012, 2016 and, likely, 2020. Only winning once by a small margin in 2004. But Democrats are about to be down 6 to 3 on the Supreme Court because of the electoral college. If Trump were to win the electoral college again, it may be 7 to 2.

    I am Pro-life and want a supportive court in that regard. But we need to recognize that making a majority of voters feel that their vote no longer counts, may be disastrous in the long run.

    But I don’t have the answer. Small states will not give up on the current system.

    1. Here is the problem with our courts. Too many Justices (liberals) are legislating from the bench and not following the constitution. Ginsberg and others feel the Constitution is a living breathing document, its NOT. Documents are stagnant and they do not evolve and the reason Dems want to pack the court with these folks is because they cannot change the Constitution without 2/3rds in both the House and Senate or get 3/4s of the states to agree to change it. They also cannot win elections fairly (the cheat to win mail in scam is one – See California for ballot harvesting). This is NOT the 80s Democrats and these people are Communists who want to take away all your rights and it’s so Crystal clear you have to be a moron not to see it. So yeah we need Constitutional judges and not activists on the bench. If the Dems would get off their @sses and work with the Republicans and put in legislation that is the best way but, since they KNOW they can’t confiscate your guns or take away your religious freedoms at the ballot box they will try the courts. This is why they are pissed

      1. Sure. How about that big stack of House bills on McConnells desk? That’s not the “best way” I suppose?

        Should we get rid of all the amendments since the constitution should be static? Those dudes were not gods and knew that, so they made it possible to amend (change).
