This is a typical distortion. What he said was that he likes all of President Trump’s Supreme Court picks, but the best justices are Thomas and Alito. Anyone want to argue that?
“but the best justices are Thomas and Alito. Anyone want to argue that?”
To get a Thomas, we had to take a Souter.
To get an Alito, we had to take a Roberts.
To get a Scalia, we had to take an O’Connor AND a Tony Kennedy.
In other words, for every hero, we had to take one or two zeros.
I get RDS’ point that Gorsuch/Kav/Barrett don’t rise to superstar level, but by virtue of avoiding the appointment of one or more stealth liberals, Trump absolutely blows away the Bushes, Reagan, Nixon and Eisenhower on this issue.
