Twenty-seven conservative leaders signed a statement in support of Lee, including Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., Rep. Mia Love, R-Utah, Conservative Partnership Institute Chairman Jim DeMint, and FreedomWorks President Adam Brandon.
Sen. Lee has a proven record of standing up for principle, for doing the right thing for the right reasons, even in the face of withering criticism, the letter states. And thats what this nominee is in for.
The statement warns the confirmation battle to replace Kennedy is likely to be the roughest fight Washington has seen in decades, and notes that a Supreme Court with a conservative majority will make decisions that invite a host of criticism.
This is not an assignment for the faint of heart. We need a Supreme Court justice who is not only wise and principled, but brave, the conservatives continued in their letter. Mike Lee is one candidate on the presidents list who has proven to be all three.

Mike Lee is a conservative activist (legislator), not a judge. Same as Cruz. Let’s keep them both in the senate where they can work best for us.
Trump should accommodate him
“We need a Supreme Court justice who is not only wise and principled, but brave,
Principled? OK
Wise? Maybe
Brave???? How so?
Never NeverTrumpers on the court.
NeverTrumper BS from the open-border gay marriage muzzie-coddling wing of the self-described conservative movement.
I’m sure Harry Reid would approve.
Their inside source at the Supreme Court is now gone and they need a replacement spy.
Its funny how Pelosi always seemed to know how the Court was going to vote until Kennedy resigned.
A McMuffin guy. No way.
No mike lee.
The SCOTUS wasn’t important enough to him in the 2016 election. He was happy to give it to Hillary to stop trump.
He’s not fit for SCOTUS.

You mean numerous NeverTrumper skunks.
Want to back him, explain [make plain] his credentials and then his views and arguments expressed in his writings [preferrably appellate court decisions] so we may know the quality of his mind and how he weighs the factors, legal constitutional and factual that he must consider when rendering an opinion.
This kind of sloganeering doesn't cut it by a mile. It's demeaning to me and the person your are advancing for consideration. I don't want and endorsement. I want an argument.
No one can call themselves a conservative, after supporting Hillary picking SCOTUS judges.
Rep. Mia Love, R-Utah,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Utah is too full of Morons to elect a real conservative.
The GOPe and it’s “conservative” DNC supporting operatives are the predicted result of Big Tent GOP crap.
Stand for nothing. Mean nothing.
My fear is that with this #walkaway thing going on, dem politicals are gonna jump ship to the GOP and the uniparty crap is just gonna get worse.
Cornucopia if you will...
1 Episcopalian
3 Jews
5 Roman Catholics
In other words, not a single one of them is a born-again Christian. Just a bunch of fakers.
The only thing that matters is the decisions that he would make if he became a Justice of the Supreme Court.
So, what are they going to do when DJT picks someone else? Instead of circling the wagons, Vote no? It wouldn’t be a surprise. Would it? They are capable of losing a victory at the American people’s expense.
Levin has cards he ain’t showin’.
