I think ideologically the president agrees with you. Overturn Roe, property rights, quotas, etc. But he has a different view of the role of the president. He's never taken an ideological posture, except when he steps into campaign mode.

There's nothing "ideological" about applying the Constitution for what it says, not for what somebody wants it to say. That's simply a judges job. The courts have taken us so far away from that that it's enabled the libs to call anyone "ideological" who wants judges to simply to do the job they're supposed to do. Please don't give ammunition to their propaganda.

You obviously didn't read the entire post. I'm not arguing against ideology. I'm merely pointing out the way this president has conducted himself for 5 years now. He's a stickler for the constitutional role of the presidency. He won't express political or ideological reasons for a judicial nomination. He will stick to their LEGAL philosophy. I'm saying: he believes a conservative LEGAL philosophy will lead to rulings favorable to the conservative agenda. So you're going to hear the very same words from him: this nominee will respect the constitution and will not make law from the bench. THAT is his focus...and I think properly so.
