And I had doubts about Trump’s SCOTUS picks until the Dobbs ruling was leaked. I honestly expected 1+ Roberts would side with the Left.
I’m happy to stand corrected.
Well it isn’t like we had no reason to doubt it. Long time pro-abortion positions - including partial birth abortion - nothing ambiguous and it is on tape. He attacked conservatives - by name - over healthcare, saying we needed government funded, universal healthcare “get used to it conservatives! We’re going to take care of everybody!” He shouted this at one of his first rallies. He reiterated his desire for government universal health coverage in an interview with Scott Pelley. He supported amnesty for illegal immigrants - literally up until the point he decided to run as a Republican. It’s on tape. He blasted Mitt Romney for being too tough on immigration and said that probably caused him to lose. He openly supported Kelo v. Connecticut - that really cast doubt as to who he would pick for judges. He said all of these things and much more. A reasonable person could draw the conclusion he would not govern as a conservative. However, the reality is that he did end up doing so - a reality that cannot be denied.
