    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Drinking heavily is the only way you and Denny even start to make sense.

    I thought you meant Gorsuch was the "one more" clarifying appointment. More Scalias will definitely help your cause, yes.

    Perhaps Obama saw the big political picture but ignored the needs of the common joes like you and me.

    I can definitely agree with that. Deeper than that, however....in my opinion....I believe that there is a huge disconnect between most of the Democrats in Congress and that of Middle America. It's not fair to say that it was just Obama; Hillary and many others had the same problem.

    If the Democrats want to win another election, then they seriously need to address this gaping issue.

    So was Justice Kennedy, the man rumored to be next to retire from the Court.

    I'm quite sure the sore losers at CNN or the WaPost can easily find the outliers and make a lot of noise over nothing.

    It was his way of surrendering.

    When the facts aren't on your side, bang the table. I'm sure Cicero or some other ancient philosopher said something similar.

    http://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/07/04/legal-adage/

    In 1956 the adage is attributed to the famous jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes, but QI has not been able to find any compelling supporting evidence for this claim [OWHG]:

    You don’t have to be a lawyer to recognize the admonition of Oliver Wendell Holmes quoted by Scotty Mattraw in Printing Buyers’ News: “If you’re weak on the facts and strong on the law, pound the law. If you’re weak on the law and strong on the facts, pound the facts. If you’re weak on both, pound the table.”
