AIKEN, S.C. — Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is "disgraceful" and a "disappointment" to conservatives, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Saturday, while praising Associate Justice Clarence Thomas as his favorite member of the high court.

"Justice Roberts really let us down. What he did with Obamacare was disgraceful, and I think he did that because he wanted to be popular inside the Beltway," Trump told about 4,000 supporters.

So far so good. What does he say about Scalia?

BS.

Liberal Donald Trump said he supported the US Supreme Court's Kelo decision. Conservatives Rehnquist, Thomas and Scalia all voted against this rotten scheme. Liberals on the court supported it, as did liberal Donald Trump.

Nice try dragqueen. Trump is a liberal. President Reagan would never support a liberal.

President Reagan would never support a liberal.

Ever hear of Sandra Day O’Connor, or Anthony Kennedy?

He said Scalia and Alito were good too, but consistently Thomas was the best. He said he was a meeting with 800 attorneys present. He mentioned how much he liked Thomas’ decisions and the gave a standing ovation on the spot. Shocked Trump. He said the next president may have as many as 4 picks for the Supreme court.

Oh God, he we go again. Trump gave his opinion. Right or wrong, that’s his position and his points are well taken in my mind.

The Kelo decision is the one the Trump bashers love to bring up.

Love him or hate him, Trump is right again. Roberts is a disgrace and a turncoat. Americans who care about this country will never forgive him for what he has done to us.

Any one of those three as a favorite is OK. It is a matter of taste. My fav is Scalia. But Thomas is a great one.
