If he’s able to serve as Senator, then he is eligible to be in the Supreme Court.

As for the rest, are you trying to become a writer for one of the liberal magazines that sensationalizes anything conservative like they did with Trump?

And you may minimize it, but as for the Supreme Court, nothing else matters except whether he is conservative. If you’re going to participate, bring something more as I’ve not got the patience.

WRONG!

If he’s able eligible to serve as Senator, then he is eligible to be in the Supreme Court. And you don't know that he is.

liberal magazines

Breitbart?

He has to be a US citizen.

If you’re going to participate, bring something more as I’ve not got the patience.

DJT called him a Canadian. Are you calling Trump a liar?

Truth is, there are almost no Originalists, certainly no reservoir on the federal bench or in America’s law schools. Most judges some claim are Originalists are actually Textualists, and there is a huge difference.

Stare decisis stems from logic; court rulings are assumed to be valid. That doesn’t mean courts can’t have their rulings reversed. Stare decisis is a broad principle, not an iron law.

I believe most people - even activists - have no idea how pernicious current legal theory and practice is. No president and no small group of Supreme Court Justices is going to change the prevailing legal theory taught in law schools.
