MizMargo--It's still early days. The possibility still exists of this candidate being blocked, and another inserted.
IMHO, a ton of conservatives were rooting for the woman cult person. Psychics probably twigged onto that. R1
Sometime ago, someone on this site posted a description of game that engaged players in trying to achieve balance on a sloped board. It seems so prescient now. It's like there's this cosmic plane, like the sloped board, with all of these players and issues. There are "alternative time frames." There are so many decisions, consequences, moves, and countermoves. Blowback moves across the whole darned thing with the wink of a fly's eyelash. I'm not surprised psychics are "twigging." Giggle: "the woman cult person."
MizMargo I think Trump Wanted to choose Barrett but to save his own skin chose the one that didn't believe in investigating a sitting President. That may be why some saw her as the one he chose. Someone also said on the news tonight that Trump thinks he will get to choose another person for the SC so went easy on this round. But he won't be around long enough to choose another one and don't think this one is going to be confirmed.
Also I don't think any psychic said Trump was going to win did they? I know a lot of them said he wouldn't.
I think often when psychics get things like this wrong it's for one of two reasons or a combo of both. 1.) The future is very flux and could change at any moment because someone makes an unpredictable decision that drastically effects the outcome. As I understand it, reading the future is like a snapshot of what would happen if everything and everyone stayed like it presently is and there are no wildcards. 2.) I believe often times a person's mind can get polluted by the news cycle or they see what they want to see because the truth is just too painful, which blocks them from making an accurate prediction. I don't know what Jeanne's Trump prediction was but the most notable psychic that I know who got Trump's election right was from the UK and I suspect one thing that helped him see it accurately was because he was removed from the terrible consequence of having to live in a nation where Trump is it's leader.
Hi lynnventura,
One thing about the court ppl may not realize is that the number of justices is set by Congress. It's not something I like to advertise, as Rs could really take advantage of this. You'd have to have a completely D Congress and President to change, but it can be changed from 9 back to 7 or increased to 11 by statute. So at some point in the next several years, Ds can fix this. It's not a good solution, but better than having a group of horrible justices for another 40 years. So breathe a sigh of relief in the long run. The immediate changes will be awful if it succeeds, but there is a solution over time. FDR considered this option as I recall.

Yes! I just hope dems have the guts to do this. Frankly, the federal judiciary is basically the same size it was when the country was half as large. I think the next blue congress should increase the number of the entire fed judiciary, including the sup ct. The Gorsuch seat and the current one are stolen. Dems should call this out.
On another note, trump did mention a few days ago that he thinks he might eventually fill three seats. I think folks assumed he meant Ginsburg's seat, but when he said that I got a picture of Thomas popping up in my head, and a sense of dread that this his retirement is already in the planning stages. Anyone getting anything similar?
Durwood -- who is that? Would like to check out.
If the opportunity presents itself, of course he will, that hypocrite. But it’s not just the Supreme Court we should be concerned about. MM has been pushing lifetime Federal judiciary confirmations through the Senate at lightening speed. T’s 51st federal appellate judge was confirmed earlier this week. MM is hoping to fill all of those federal judiciary positions and completely transform the courts by the 2020 election. That’s his top priority.
