Donald Trump Releases List of Potential Supreme Court Appointments
Conservative Treehouse ^ | May 18, 2016 | Sundance

Posted on 05/18/2016 2:21:53 PM PDT by detective

Today Donald J. Trump released the much-anticipated list of people he would consider as potential replacements for Justice Scalia at the United States Supreme Court. This list was compiled, first and foremost, based on constitutional principles, with input from highly respected conservatives and Republican Party leadership.

Mr. Trump stated, “Justice Scalia was a remarkable person and a brilliant Supreme Court Justice. His career was defined by his reverence for the Constitution and his legacy of protecting Americans’ most cherished freedoms. He was a Justice who did not believe in legislating from the bench and he is a person whom I held in the highest regard and will always greatly respect his intelligence and conviction to uphold the Constitution of our country. The following list of potential Supreme Court justices is representative of the kind of constitutional principles I value and, as President, I plan to use this list as a guide to nominate our next United States Supreme Court Justices.”

As someone very lukewarm to Trump; I like what he says here. Filling the next vacancies on the Court is probably the most important thing this election will be about in my opinion.

A Trump nominee in any of those seats would cement conservative domination of the court for years, if not decades. By contrast, a victory by the Democrats in November probably would lead to the most liberal Supreme Court in a half-century.

And there in lies the reason EVERY and I mean EVERY republican and the rest of the right minded people of the country must vote for Trump. Everything else be dammed.
