Nominating a Supreme Court Justice is not a science. How are we to know that a judge will be like Thomas or Alito or Scalia?
Reagan nominated Sandra Day O’Connor.
It happens sometimes.
I don’t know.
But do know in the history of SCOTUS, abt three have moved to the right once on the bench vs the rest who moved left some very far left.
Pic of the movement of each one at the link shows it all:

Really tired of all these bloviating opinion pieces seeking to cause stress and worry just to increase traffic.

He should have spoken up when they were nominated. Or even before, the list of candidates was well known.
The President has to nominate people who can get confirmed.
Nominate another Bork, and plenty of RINOs will find a reason to vote against him.

I don’t think it’s that hard. Pick a judge under fifty years old with a consistent record. No more stealth nominees like David Souter.
Trump got 2 out of 3 entirely wrong.
They need to side with the Trump team. He was never convicted of any crime . This is such BS!
This court owes him.

Ike gave us Earl Warren, but to his credit later admitted it was the biggest mistake of his presidency. Then there is the execrable David Souter courtesy of Bush 1. On the other hand, he gave us Clarence Thomas too. Go figure.
This guy is a handwringer.
I don’t think they were “Trump’s picks”. I believe they were McConnell’s picks, and Trump tried to pick the best of the litter.
Trump’s Fainthearted SCOTUS Picks Could Doom Him in DC Election Case
But they won’t so go away.
Trump chose from a list that The Heritage Foundation created and conservatives across the land cheered him for it. Come to find out, the Heritage Foundation is a bit squishy these days.
Didn’t they all vote to overturn Roe? That’s not a squishy vote.
Why are so many posting against the author? Where has Trumps picks ever come through? Every so called win has had at least 1 of the 3 stray and NONE of them would even consider looking at the 2020 election challenges, ala, Paxton’s Texas lawsuit.
Also, Trump is still of the CEO mindset. He respects peoples titles and assumes and inputes respect for people based on their title. So the Heritage foundation gives them a list and he just accepts then complains when they suck. A CEO is not a leader and the last person you want making picks because a CEO stops doing the things that made them a CEO once they make it to the top. I give you Rex T for example. Also Mattis, a person who doesnt have the discernment to have a problem with fags in the military. 2 complete disasters. TDS is just as irrational as Trump can do no wrong syndrome. The author is correct in that Trump only has himself to blame. Trump is letting his attorney sell him down the river with this stupid immunity defense when there was zero evidence of an n insurrection. No violence, zilch, nothing. If there was the videos would have been played non stop since J6. Then immunity defense spots the ball at the red zone for the dems. It confesses to a false accusation and then claims you can’t do anything about it. It asks the SCOTUS to look at a crime but then rule against convicting on a technicality.
