Yes, I think Trump's excellent court appointments over the years has been one of the best things he's done - and there seems to be little recognition of it.
The mainstream media is trying to minimize the damage of the 2016 election. They won't be able to hide the next Supreme Court appointment though. That is when ALL of these lower court appointments will come front and center. As soon as Trump wins re-election, Ginsberg done....if she can even last that long. She keeps missing work, and that cannot continue forever. Her times up.
Trump has done an outstanding job getting judicial appointments !!!
Another SCOTUS pick will be the cherry on top !!!
What are the top three things you want for a conservative Supreme Court to do? To give states the right to ban all abortion and ban same sex marriage as well as allowing Christians the right to discriminate against any other people due to religious reasons?
Got to love it, right? Being told what you can and can’t believe.
Well people can believe what they want. They just have to keep quiet if it differs from the official state positions.
For example, some Christians support gay rights, woman being able to make their own healthcare choices, public schools remaining secular, and accept modern science. They won't count as "true Christians" in this Republican utopia that is currently being created.

Christians themselves argue about what it means to be a Christian they always have.
It doesn’t matter if they consider themselves true Christians or not. If they THINK they are doing Gods will then that’s all that matters to them. More importantly it gives them votes enough to stay in office.
You misconstrue the moral - mostly based on the Judeo Christian religious traditions and heritage -underpinnings of our founding with a state religion. Common misinterpretation of those who follow headline erudition, twits and selective snippets of the founders writings.
Letting the religion-based "moral" creep too much into the state is a good way to eventually result in a de facto state religion.
No creep, we were founded that way. Having basic beliefs of right and wrong behavior as a fundamental basis for societal structure does not guarantee nor prevent the creep. Man, all men {as an inclusive term like mankind, or even womankind if one has the need to go moderne}, are fallen. Greed, selfishness, as a color of greed, lust, envy...is resident in mankind. Oh, horrors, there is that word again, mankind.
The institutions, laws, governing principles established a basis of the balance of power will naturally prevent the kind of abuse that we constantly see the overly dramatic, fear-based emetic posts. Pendulums swing, but self-correct. The swings may not suit one, or be quick enough, but it will happen. Destroy the fundamental bases of the Constitutional Republic and the pendulum will not correct. There will be no balance.
Yet, the insistence about making this discussion about one narrow and politicized issue.
