I believe history will record that President Trump saved the Republic with this nomination. (Sorry, Merick Garland...)
Just be sure to follow Thomas’s views on the Commerce Clause, not Scalia’s.
If Trump did nothing else, dayenu.
One more and we can ask them to affirm the founders definition of natural born citizen.
The current court would undoubtedly find Anwar Al-Awlaki’s kids eligible.
I am a believer in an organic breathing changeable Constitution.
So was our founding fathers. They knew that they wouldn’t be able to foresee everything and so they placed in the Constitution a method that would allow it to breathe and change. So if “it” isn’t specifically written in text and understood in the original as there, then the Constitution can be amended to allow it to breathe and change. For example, Healthcare. It is not in the Constitution text and needs an amendment to give the federal govt authority over it.
It needs to be pointed out that President Trump, the president who put Gorsuch on the supreme court voted for himself. President George H. W. Bush, the president who put the liberal David Souter on the Supreme Court, voted for Hillary Clinton. Think about that.
Here is a truly evil thought....Trump should replace the American Bar Association “vetting” of Supreme Court justices with the Federalist Society.
