His record in the judiciary appears to be exemplary, to the extent that issues of concern to Constitutional Originalists have been put in front of him. I’m going to continue to rely upon that, however his educational and religious background as well as the nature of the church he has attended do worry me. I had assumed before today that he was a lifelong Episcopalian, that it was traditional in his family, an historical tie. I know the surname and a few who bear it, from Virginia, no doubt distant cousins. It’s an old colonial era Virginia family. I’m prone to being rather reflexively suspicious of Episcopalians, rightly or wrongly. I suppose this too is due to historical family ties of my own, in colonial era Virginia.
Could his record be such that he’s been waiting to become the next Souter?
This is a huge wake up call for Trump and he should withdraw the nomination now.
Could he be a mole and NEVER expected his words against Trump would be leaked, because he was talking to someone on the left?
Very, VERY odd that he would say this. Someone like Justice Thomas would NEVER make a comment like this to a liberal senator. Something is very off.
