“Warren, Brennan, Blackmun, Stevens, Souter, O’Connor, Kennedy, just to name a few.”
You left out Roberts. His ACA and AZ immigration rulings were unforgivable. Why don’t any of the left wing hacks ever turn? I hope Trump has a way of spotting these Trojan Horses.
Yes, I left out Roberts.
YAF opposed O’Connor and we were right.
Howard Phillips and the Conservative Caucus opposed Souter and we were right. (Howard even testified against the nomination.)
Ann Coulter and a few other conservatives opposed Roberts and we were right. (Ted Cruz is right — the pick should have been Michael Luttig instead of Roberts.)
All of them (us) got attacked by fellow conservatives for taking these positions.
If Trump were to nominate a Souter type, I suspect that the same dynamic would play out, with some conservatives vigorously opposing the nomination and many, including a lot of the people here, attacking them vigorously.
I don’t think that will happen, but sometimes strange things happen where the Supreme Court is concerned.
It’s because they pick left wing hacks and the right in Congress show deference and do little to demonize the candidates. See if Trump’s pick gets that courtesy. That’s why I a! For electing ha is as well. I wouldn’t mind Cruz because he seems to be a stubborn jerk. Exactly the type of person the right needs in the court
