Who to Replace Kennedy on High Court? U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy has announced his retirement from the court at the end of July giving President Trump another pick for the Supreme Court. Democrats are going bonkers over that idea and want him to wait until after the mid-terms to do anything. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer should do what the Republicans did two years ago with the last vacancy. The U.S. Senate waited until after the 2016 presidential election allowing the new incoming president the opportunity to appoint his or her own pick. Schumer says now it would be hypocritical of the GOP to go ahead and choose the new justice without regard to any federal elections on the horizon. However, it is hypocritical of Schumer and the Democrats to talk trash like this when originally they hammered away at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to allow President Obama’s choice a vote as he was heading out of the Oval Offi ce. Dems would be in much better shape had they not voted to end the fi libuster on court picks when it suited them. Times change and their decision is now biting them in the backside. Occupy Movement Stirring Up Trouble Out in the Pacifi c Northwest, the Occupy Movement is back in business. Reports are showing that Occupy radicals are now protesting outside the ICE headquar- ters in Seattle trying to disrupt the agency from doing its work. One protester stated that if they came to arrest him, there were plenty of others to replace him. Obviously, there are many on the LEFT, the far left, who no longer believe in the rule of law but only mob rule. When we replace using our brains by setting our emotions on fi re, we are creating a scary situation going forward. (Continued on Page 11)
