I agree. I think this court would uphold anchor babies under the 14th amendment by at least 7-2.
Yup, that is my guess as well. Of Alito, Thomas and Scalia, we might get 2 of 3. And that is a best case scenario. Just as likely we only get 1 of those 3 (maybe none). We basically need 4 or 5 solid originalist, conservative justices.
I would trust a President Cruz to nominate the right kind of justices that this country needs. I would not trust Trump to do the same.
Like it or not, a big part of picking presidential nominees is what kind of judges they'd nominate. I'd rather have a consistent conservative who understands these issues than someone who, at best, is new to the cause.
