i don't know if this report has any merit or not but he seems like a good choice. I'm a little gun shy though, Republicans have a terrible track record with our so-called conservative court picks.

Your wariness is warranted, given the disappointments Roberts,O’Connor, and Breyer turned out to be. President Trump would be wise to choose from state supreme courts.
