Well, IF rulings should be based on law/Constitution, WHY does the right want every appointment to the SCOTUS to be a Conservative? WHAT is your evidence that only they will base their rulings on the law/Constitution?

Trump is nominating Constitutionalists. What's your objection to SCOTUS upholding everyone's Constitutional Rights?

What is your strict definition of a constitutionalist, some people claim they don't follow the constitution only when they disagree with their opinion.


Sometimes people believe their rights are above the constitution. How about Scalia's opinion on Heller, was he strict or liberal with his ruling, he stated that no right was unrestricted, do you agree.

This isn't unique to "lefties," which is why Merrick Garland is not currently a United States Supreme Court Justice.

I don’t want Justice’s opinions based on what some 18th century white man slave owner’s opinion as to what is right and just.

Trump has also suggested suspending due process in taking guns and deporting illegals. A Constitutionalist HE IS NOT!
