“If Willet was appointed and approved, I bet Roberts would move to the left, becoming the new Anthony Kennedy v 2.0.”

Actually Roberts is already there. His twisted logic saved Obongo care and he voted to stop AZ from defending her borders. I still beleive he was blackmailed.

Hell yes he was blackmailed, from two different angles.

"If he’s on-record as to his positions-——liberals will annihilate him."

Liberals have nothing to do it with. There's no more filibuster for Supreme Court nominees. It was abolished by vote for the Gorsuch confirmation.

And even Flake indicated that he would vote to confirm the next nominee. No Republican will risk his or her political, economic or social future voting against it. Pence will break any possible tie. The confirmation can be done before the midterm elections.

Willett's comments of the past are his greatest asset at this time.

When the push for "same sex marriage" started in MA, it was for civil unions. The argument made sense for primary caregiver legal rights and care of minor children if needed. It would make sense in situations that had nothing to do with if a couple is gay. ie: having a best friend instead or a greedy child being in charge of legal and medical decisions.

It made sense to me. The government shouldn't be marrying anyone, only granting legal rights. Let Churches and social organizations do the marrying, and have a legal document to create the civil union.

Then, gays got that, and radicals went nuts with their actual agenda which is destroying family and normal social order.

They need to be strict Constitutionalists, it is that simple.

I’m glad he is a federal judge now. For the moment I’d rather Trump chose Amy.

I didn’t have a problem either until they started ramming gayness in our schools starting at elementary grades. Now it’s Transexuals and LGBTXYZMMOLP.

I remember when the gays said just stay out of our bedroom. Ok. But now it’s everywhere TV, schools, parades, etc.

That is why I hopes he picks the woman who just got approved for a Federal court. Dems ok’d her so if they try and say no now, it looks bad on them. Plus Collins and Mutrowski would have hard time not voting for her. We need it done quickly.

The recently intensified hysteria on the left helped to assure confirmation of the President’s next choice for the Supreme Court. Good roots in the word, hysteria.

If you’re correct, that getting it done asap, I bet he goes with whoever Yertle wants. Next vacancy will allow him more flexibility, esp if midterms go well for Rs.

I’ve attended social gatherings in Austin where Don Willet attended. I never knew who he was at the time and never talked to him.

One of our best friends personally knows Willet. The friend is very active in Rep affairs in Texas state government. They think Willet will be a great candidate for the USSC.

Willet is a conservative Republican.

The guy has my attention.

When parsing the menu at the new restaurant, the wife and I have a guideline that says “oh, that item has bacon, must be good!”

Three Democrats voted to confirm President Trump’s last nominee for the Supreme Court: Joe Manchin, Joe Donnelly and Heidi Heitkamp. Their states clearly supported Trump’s election to the presidency, so they’ll be under heavy pressure again to vote in his favor.

Gorsuch also supported the recent ruling in favor of the baker in Colorado. The “in-your-face,” “outright” freaks of politics are on the fringe—not conservatives.
