My whole adult life GOP POTUS’ have been betraying us on the SCOTUS, so forgive me for being cynical. I was one who naively made excuses for the O’Connor pick when everyone knew she was pro-abortion. RWR gave us Scalia. But also O’Connor & Kennedy + two more generations of abortion on demand. Bush I was worse. Bush II tried to put in that RINO woman but the whole party stopped him.
I hope I’m wrong, but I am very concerned that he will blow this. I’m rooting for Sen. Lee.
Scalia was on the better end of the spectrum, but Scalia was an authoritarian and a Statist. He also had little regard for that great institution that was responsible for justice in the Anglo Saxon world - the common law. It's principles underlie and lay the foundation for our constitution and its interpretation.
