I'd take that trade-off in a heartbeat!

Put Barrett or Lagoa on the Supreme Court and Trump doesn't run for re-election? Sold.

And this is why we voted for him.


Dems can't get their agenda passed legislatively, so they have to try to go through the courts to do it with activist judges.

This is the roadblock to that strategy.


When all is said and done, all of Trump's negative qualities don't matter worth a damn big picture wise.

Trump should put Judge Jeanine Pirro on the Supreme Court!

In the primary or in the general?

I don't see where Trump's SCOTUS nominees diverge from what is to be expected from any Republican President, personally.

Isn't it amazing that you have to explain this to people?

For Gods sake Dems.......do a modicum of research about things before you form an opinion.

I can't speak for everyone who voted for Trump.

But personally, I voted for Rand Paul in the primaries.

But once Trump won the nomination and it was down to him vs Hillary........

There was no choice.

No way I would vote for that shrew and put Liberals in charge of the WH and give them the chance to install multiple SC justices......

Not a chance.

Same here, which is exactly why I voted for him - though I voted for Rubio in the primary.

Just trying to get some clarity because Trump's SCOTUS noms have been unsurprising thus far. Anyone can copy/paste from The Heritage Foundation.

So what if he is?

That list is full of very good, very qualified Conservatives.

That's why we voted for him.

Everything else he's been able to accomplish, especially with the massive opposition he's faced from the Left and the Media.... is just icing on the cake.

Admit it, you have no clue.

Any factoring in of race and/or gender in hiring would be abolished.

All rent control laws.

Any laws/benefits pertaining to illegal immigration. You are either a US citizen or you're not. If no, you are deported.

Strict rules with regards to voting laws.

Transgender: You want to claim the opposite sex? Great. Go for it. However, if you were born a male and want to play on a girls basketball team and the school district says no. You don't get to play.
