But, would we get solid conservative replacements for them?

With all the consternation about how so many Republican appointed judges go liberal, would we really get solid replacements?

And it is on many people’s minds here, as there is lots of criticism of all 3 of Trump’s Supreme Court nominees so far.
Can we count on Trump to nominate solid conservatives?

In my earlier post it was suggested JDVance would be my pick. We’ve got a good POTUS bench for ‘28. Another would be Cameron of Ky. Both have a conservative track record-no back stabbing suggested.

A real zero, just an empty suit.

I hope they put “Bush screwed up. He trusted Sununu” on his head stone.

Yet another “disappointment” bites the dust.

I frequently disagreed with Souter opinions. Perhaps more than Kagan opinions or Breyer opinions. I think Souter was just not quite SCOTUS material. This is without regard to where he was ideologically.

No more women on SCOTUS. Amy was hailed as a solid rock conservative. She’s turning into a nicer looking version of David Souter. Sandra Day O’Connor same thing. Leftward leeches All and unreliable to vote conservative.

“favoring judicial restraint” ________________________________________________ ...only when it advanced Leftism. Now look where we are at.

Why does their wording remind me of their descriptions of dead terrorists like "austere religious scholar?"

I don’t pay enough attention to the roster. He left at 71? I’ll give that to him.

Some lives are valuable. Some are damaging to society. His was one of the later.
