>> Yep. Trump’s guys sided with the libs. The dissenters were nominated by the Bush family - George Bush Sr and Dubya. <<

I have been pointing that out for years on FR and its simply been ignored. FReepers sneer sarcastically "thanks for nothing, George" about GWB's Supreme Court nominees, while they heaped praise on Trump's with stuff like "God Bless PDJT for KEEPING his campaign pledge to give us a pro-life Scalia type judge from his LIST!!! That ALONE should be reason enough to re-elect him!!!!"

If they want to put aside their pre-conceived biases and actually look at the judge's records, the reality is that both of the "useless, deep-state" Bush presidencies were 1-1 for Supreme Court nominations. Each gave us one rock solid conservative, and one disappointment.

Trump is 0-2 for his Supreme Court appointments. There is ZERO evidence that either of his "originalist" judges will overturn liberal "precedents" like homo marriage or abortion on demand. And now we know for a FACT that Gorsuch is NOT the "originalist" judge that people on FR blindly assumed he was just because Trump said so.

But hey, facts like that don't matter, let's keep bashing Bush and heaping praise on anyone and everyone Trump appoints.

Screw the Bushies and all who defend them! Souter and Roberts were far worse choices than Kavanaugh and Gorsuch.

Selection of a Supreme Court nominee is a crap shoot. At that level it is hard to predict how they will vote. Plus you add in the fact that our numbers in Congress are weak — which means one has to pick someone whose political views are less known.

What we do know is that this election coming up is critical. Trump has to be reelected. As bad as things seem now I can not quite imagine the damage to the SC done by a leftist pleasing idiot like Biden.
