TRUMP: Antonin Scalia Was 'One Of The Best Of All Time'
businessinsider.com ^ | February 13

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump hailed the legacy of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia on Saturday.

Scalia was found dead at the age of 79 earlier in the day.

"Justice Scalia was a remarkable person and a brilliant Supreme Court Justice, one of the best of all time," Trump said.

"His career was defined by his reverence for the Constitution and his legacy of protecting Americans' most cherished freedoms," Trump continued. "He was a justice who did not believe in legislating from the bench and he is a person whom I held in the highest regard and will always greatly respect his intelligence and conviction to uphold the Constitution of our country."

Perhaps Trump could elaborate on why he was the greatest. I bet he doesn’t know.

Scalia was Sicilian, not Italian. There is a big difference....just ask them.

Trump ran for President all the way back in 2000, so he’s been involved in politics a very long time. No comments from him on SC Justices even back then?

Trump is the only person at the debate tonight who could name two conservative judges who could replace Scalia.

Yet he says his liberal pro-abort sister would make a great Supreme Court justice.

Remember, Earl Warren, William Brennan, Harry Blackmun, John Paul Stevens, David Souter, and Roberts were Republican appointees. This is why we need a proven conservative, not just a Republican.

Trump doesn’t seem to know what he thinks sometimes, and he winds up talking out of both sides of his mouth.

No, the Club for Growth is not affiliated with Norquist’s organization (Americans for Tax Reform).
