I don’t know if Bush appointed him because he was black, or not; all I know is that he is one of the best SC justices in recent history. Sadly, as we have all seen, some of the appointments are huge disappointments. We’ve just gotten two great ones. We should get one or two more in the not too distant future. Thank GOD it’s the Senate who confirms, and not the House. (Ryan’s House wouldn’t have been any better than the upcoming one -— he would have seen to that, the snake). If Trump accomplished nothing else, SC appointments would be worth it all.
I think the jury is still out on Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.
After Clarence Thomas and Scalia testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee, I was absolutely certain they were both rock solid Conservative judges.
After watching John Roberts, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh testify, I felt like all three of them might end up as centrists or even center-left.
The good news?
Trump's judicial appointments are better than Hillary Clinton's appointments would have been - which is why I voted for Trump.
