As Trump picks a Supreme Court justice, evangelicals rejoice: ‘I will vote for him again’
The Washington Post ^ | July 9, 2018 | Julie Zauzmer

For millions of evangelical Christians, President Trump’s announcement Monday night was the vision they held in their heads as they stepped into the polling booth almost two years ago: a Republican president, filling the Supreme Court with more conservative justices who might drastically curtail access to legal abortion and advance other conservative Christian priorities.

As Trump prepared to announce his second nominee to the court in his 18-month term, these conservative Christians saw much of their dream realized.

“It’s a generational decision,” exulted Jack Graham, a Texas pastor who is on Trump’s informal evangelical advisory board. “It’s a decision that impacts not only today, not only us, but our children — our grandchildren, potentially.”

Many evangelical pastors and activists said they would be pleased with any of the names reported to be on Trump’s shortlist for the nomination. After all, that was the gambit that won Trump so many evangelical votes in 2016: He made the unusual move of releasing, before he was even president, a list of judges he would consider for the Supreme Court if elected.

I didn’t know that Trump had picked an evangelical.

This article just goes to show that the Washington Post wouldn’t know an evangelical if one kicked them in the butt.

Looks like Ann got her man & TRUMP is still scared of Ann LOL

I just heard someone say TRUMP really like Amy Coney Barrett but thought her confirmation would be more difficult that others, she would be the next pick should another seat open up

I was a kid when the white haired Cardinal Cushing made it long enough to see a Catholic president and somehow made it longer and all that. People sort of condescendingly talked as if he was so old how long could he go on? Then JFK was killed and later in 1968 Robert Kennedy was killed. Both much younger men gone. Spellman made it to 1970.

The supposedly ailing Ruth B.G. and the mysteriously unsteady Hillary (and McCain) seem to go on and on. Will they be around to be interviewed by President Chelsea Clinton’s CNN anchor daughter?

Time traveling future President Barron Trump told me that Chelsea never becomes President and her daughter never becomes a CNN anchor.
