Donald Trump Says He’d Consider These Two Judges for U.S. Supreme Court
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3396851/posts

Judge Diane S. Sykes and Judge Bill Pryor.

Sykes is a federal judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. She was nominated by George W. Bush and confirmed in 2004. [need to study her more closely. Heading to google and will post-to-no one in followup]

Pryor is a federal judge in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. He was nominated by President George W. Bush in 2003. His nomination was filibustered so in 2004 ... [good sign — a filibuster means he’s anti-leftist] ... [said] Roe was the worst abomination in constitutional law in history...

[One of Trump’s SCOTUS considerations ...]

Sykes is AWSOME!

‘Diane Sykes says Holy Spirit must be part of life’

[more from it ...]

The National Abortion Federation opposes the nomination of Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Diane Sykes to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ...

Two protesters blocked access to the facility by binding their legs with welded pipes to the front of a car and had to be removed by firefighters with blowtorches. They were charged with disorderly conduct and found guilty.

Sykes chose to sentence the defendants to 60 days in jail, thirty days short of the maximum available penalty, despite the seriousness of their actions.1 More disturbing were her comments to the defendants at the sentencing:

“I do respect you a great deal for having the courage of your convictions and for the ultimate goals that you sought to achieve by this conduct.”

She also characterized their actions as “positive efforts” and called their motives “pure.” In response to recent questions of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sykes amazingly stated that the defendants were “not violent, assaultive, or threatening.”

[Other Trump consideration noted in prior post]
