Aye, the Constitution must be upheld.

“Judges are not supposed to re-write the law, re-invent the Constitution, or substitute their own opinions for the will of the people expressed through their laws.”-Trump

This should repeated over and over. Finally someone who gets it. Judges should not legislate from the bench, ever.

Here's my progression with Donald J. Trump since early 2016:

1. He was not my top choice by any stretch (I wasn't even convinced he would stay in the race if he lost some early primaries).

2. I really started to warm up to him with some of his zany antics during the primary campaign (the infamous "John Miller" story from 1991 that made national headlines in May 2016 was a real turning point for me).

3. By the time he was nominated I was 100% behind him.

4. I had several business trips around the heartland of the U.S. from August to late October of 2016. I attended a couple of Trump rallies in that time. For the first time in my life I was watching a presidential candidate who was riding a political and cultural tsunami that was sweeping across this nation's interior.

5. By the end of October 2016 he became the first political candidate -- at any level -- that I've ever financially supported in my life.

6. I'm a stronger Trump supporter today than I was on Election Day in 2016 ... and statements like this one about the U.S. Supreme Court are perfect illustrations of why this is so.

Making America great again necessarily includes a return to that beautiful document called our Constitution.

Speaking these words is proof positive this President knows whereof he speaks.

God bless you, Mr. President.

Trump is not a serious candidate and is just running for president to throw the race to Hillary.

Fox News Report (May 2016)

The best part starts at about the 4:20 mark.

I still watch this clip and laugh my ass off to this day. Donald Trump waited 25 years to pull that stunt.

"While the principles of our Constitution give just latitude to inquiry, every citizen faithful to it will deem embodied expressions of discontent and open outrages of law and patriotism as dishonorable as they are injurious." --Thomas Jefferson: Reply to Leesburg Citizens, 1809.

"[Montesquieu wrote in his Spirit of the Laws XII,c.12:]
'Words carried into action assume the nature of that action. Thus a man who goes into a public market-place to incite the subject to revolt incurs the guilt of high treason, because the words are joined to the action, and partake of its nature. It is not the words that are punished, but an action in which words are employed. They do not become criminal, but when they are annexed to a criminal action: everything is confounded if words are construed into a capital crime, instead of considering them only as a mark of that crime.'" --Thomas Jefferson: copied into his Commonplace Book.

But, conservative governors appoint conservative senators, no?

"But, conservative governors appoint conservative senators, no?"

Thanks for replying.

If I understand your question correctly, governors never appointed federal senators. The Founding States had given the power to vote for federal senators only to state legislatures. This is because the Founding States had expected the state legislatures to elect federal senators who would vote to kill all bills that stole unique state powers and state revenues associated with those powers, such revenues stolen by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.

But now, because of the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, the corrupt Senate wrongly helps the likewise corrupt House to pass bills that steal state powers and state revenues.

I’m happy to hear President Trump “gets it”. That’s all any real American wants. No favoritism. No bias. Simply interpret the constitution as written and what the spirit of the law demands when it isn’t clear.

Which is exactly what the left, and the sodomite lobby, did when it went to the court in order to neutralise the will of the people as expressed in three separate referendums against sodomite mirage, and that in liberal (at the time, now full-fledged leftist) CA, of all places. This is just one example of leftist judicial activism, and this judicial activism is always from the left, to thwart the will of the people when we don’t get onboard with their “progress” fast enough to suit them.

Actually he needs to pick someone who will apply the constitution as written. It’s in English, it doesn’t need to be “interpreted”, unless you’re a leftist looking for an excuse to get the result you want. But I’m nit-picking.
