I wonder if this thread may be stickied once it starts to fade as a reminder of what took place these last few weeks and the fight still to come?

Trump said he will sign the commission tonight. There are two oaths to take. I have no word on when those sre scheduled. Maybe the one at the court will be Tuesday.

Just announced likely Monday afternoon with CJ and Justice Kennedy.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown
