...sits on the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals,...Willett is said to be an intellectual disciple of Scalia...In his state role, he defended displays of the Ten Commandments on public grounds; property rights in the face of government's use of eminent domain and civil forfeiture; and upholding state limits on the rights of gay and lesbian couples.

[Roccus]

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

100% CORRECT!!

[familyop]

Gorsuch was confirmed 54-45, by the way.

[T-Bird45]

Two different angles, as I understand it. Kids was one angle and the other angle was tied to that. Won’t say more in a public forum...

[Cheerio]

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

So what? Between Reid and Turtle, SCOTUS and Cabinet members cannot be filibustered. What we of course have to be concerned about is all the RINOS sitting in the Senate.

[FLT-bird]

He sounds like he’d be a great choice.

[null and void]

So New York journalists don't like him? ;-)

That's a plus right there.

Bacon is meat candy.

Ever had chocolate dipped bacon on a stick?

Have a look at this. I like Don Willett's notoriety at this evil, commie, blue state site. ;-D

What We Know About the Gun Rights Records of Trump’s Supreme Court Picks

Don Willett
TEXAS SUPREME COURT JUSTICE

In his most recent successful run for Texas’s elected Supreme Court, Willett won an endorsement from Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, a group more strident than the NRA. In a summer editorial in the Tyler Morning Telegraph that blasted an appeals court ruling that Americans don’t have the right to carry concealed guns, the newspaper said Willett would be an “excellent choice” to decide such questions on the Supreme Court.

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

Fixed.

Supreme Court could to revisit gun rights

Excerpt:

Now, do not read this as an endorsement of Donald Trump, who has promised to appoint a conservative justice.

Trump breaks his promises easily and with an arrogant frequency.

Yet if he sticks with his list of candidates - which includes Texas Supreme Court Justice Don Willett, an excellent choice - then there’s a good chance Scalia’s replacement will hold the Constitution in the same high regard.

[null and void]

I doubt if Trump wants to fool around with this kind of nominee.....he wants it quick and bloodless.

Perhaps. But perhaps he'd prefer the liberals shed a LOT of blood exposing their real selves to the voting public.

[null and void]

I still believe he was blackmailed.

Was? Did whatever his personal sword of Damocles was get destroyed, or is it still dangling over his head?

Let Churches and social organizations do the marrying, and have a legal document to create the civil union.

What you said. A marriage is twofold, the religious union, and the legal contractual union. Literally Church and State.

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

I'm perfectly willing to tolerate anything consenting adults do in private.

But they want me to celebrate it in public.

I'm not willing to do that.

Looks like classic ‘dad humor’ to me:

Do you know the definition of a dad joke?

[Reily]

They want validation from the public!

[OKSooner]

Understood, thank you.

[9YearLurker]

Yep—jokes from a guy who is trying so hard to impress/be cool with his kids that they are so bad they’re in a weird way good.

That’s this guy precisely.

He’s not posting his deepest political thoughts and biases. Just stupid jokes.

[null and void]

Close. It’s a joke where the punchline is apparent...

[9YearLurker]

Not as most widely understood.
