If Gorsuch is such a great SCOTUS nominee, then why does he need PAC (Judicial Crisis Network) TV ads to push his nomination? I don’t ever remember a TV ad for any other SCOTUS nominee. Thanks, Citizens United (the same SCOTUS case that gave us Trump).

The era of Trump?
The error of Trump!

I am more qualified to be POTUS than Trump.

When Trump took an oath on 01/20/17, it was the first time he had done so. (It took him only 8 days to violate the oath – see executive order 13769.)

I, on the other hand, have taken THREE oaths: once in 1988 when I was commissioned in the USAF and took the oath of office to support and defend the Constitution, and twice more in 1995 when I was sworn in to the Maine and Massachusetts bars.

I served on active duty in the USAF, have held elected office (albeit privately, as treasurer for my condo for 4 years – ask me how I saved the condo from bankruptcy), am a small business owner, and am the husband and child of immigrants.

Yet I am HIGHLY UNQUALIFIED to be POTUS. My qualifications are de minimis. Yet I am more qualified than Trump.

Let that sink in.

Those who have known me for a long time may recall that I initially WANTED to be a politician. (Alas, I am both too honest and too poor – these things are related.) In fact, circa 1988, I had plans to run for POTUS in 2020, with the tagline, “Erik Heels 2020 – A Vision For The Future!” It’s funny because “2020” has two meanings.

Some issues that need investigative reporting:

1. The tax returns.

2. The sexual harassment allegations.

3. The Emoluments Clause.

4. Whether the Yemen operation was timed to coincide with the immigration ban.

5. Those actually behind the vandalism at Berkeley.

I fear that the firehose IS the strategy to make the world forget about the real issues.

There is no “Scalia seat” on SCOTUS just like there was no “Kennedy seat” in the Senate.
