It’s a good sign Trump can see the mess it’s put us in... means he’s much LESS likely to make a bad pick.
Then a fair question might be . . . would a truly conservative congress impeach him? Also, as I understand it a president can still be impeached even after his term of office thereby stripping him of his pension and benefits.
However the operative phrase is . . . “truly conservative congress”
I thought it worth the time to reply to specifics of your objection.
>>”Her ruling was identicle to her colleague, Sam Alito. “
They agreed on the ruling, but for different reasons. You can read the whole decision here:
Alito did not, in his statements, concur with her opinion on abortion or partial birth abortion in her argument. He agreed with her ruling, but for other reasons (”I do not join Judge Barry’s opinion, which was never necessary and is now obsolete..Our responsibility as a lower court is to follow and apply controlling Supreme Court precedent. I write briefly to explain why Carhart requires us to affirm the decision of the District Court in this case.”)
Further, “When Judge Barry has gone on record on women’s issues, it has been to rule in favor of abortion rights..”
Her opinion in this case was pro-abortion and against making partial birth abortion illegal. Alito concurred in the ruling, but not for the same reasons she gave.
Sorry, should have pinged you to this reply also:

"Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account."--Hebrews 4:13
Sobering truth for me, who likes to try and hide things from Him...and everybody else in the world, because they do the same thing.
“On the subject of SCOTUS Nominees...
This is an interesting read.
Cruz later criticized Roberts, but it was too late.”
Cruz has lots of MISTAKES, like when hw went after McConnell ex post facto “ He LIED to me! “
Well, DUH.
Then on the 500% increase in H-1B visas. “ This needs to be “reformed” “
Uh NO Ted. The H-1B visa was designed by lobbyists with the specific intent to allow our country to be flooded with people from India and China who would work for low wages, and NEVER get a raise. Ted there are too many MISTAKES you have made. Your mistakes are deadly!
That McConnell one is crucial.
Ted thought he had a deal.
Replace McConnell with Vladimir.
“I thought I had a good deal.”
Idiot...
