The real question is what kind of lawyers will you get with Trump as POTUS.

Well, if you want to compare speculation versus reality, I’d point out that Ronald Reagan himself appointed Sandra Day O’Conner and Anthony Kennedy, and between the two Bushes we got David Souter and John Roberts.
Let’s face it. There is no way to know how a Supreme Court justice will go after he/she is confirmed.
Reagan was right on the money with Antonio Scalia and the Bushes with Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
But Trump saying he likes his judge sister is NOT descriptive of who he’d nominate; I’m sorry.
I think Trump, if elected, will surround himself with very smart people/subordinates who will advise him on who would be the best candidates for the country. I really do.
However, consider my list above FRiend. There is no way the above justices who turned out to be liberal would have been nominated if the presidents at the time knew what we know now.
Reality is the best teacher.
Still, I had to chuckle at Trump’s sister’s name:
Maryanne Barry!
Wasn’t she mayor of Washington DC?
He has praised Justice Clarence Thomas as “strong and consistent,†while calling Chief Justice John Roberts “disgraceful.†He recently criticized Justice Antonin Scalia for his comments opposing affirmative action during a Supreme Court hearing.
Two out of three ain't bad.
