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.
Ah, but Democrat presidents have been FAR more successful at getting judges in who vote the way they want than our side has. Notice the difference in approaches:
CLINTON: I need me a liberal judge.
RUTH BADER GINSBURG: Hi, I'm a card-carrying activist liberal lawyer for the ACLU and an outspoken, man-hating third wave feminist.
CLINTON: Shucks, you're hired!
TRUMP: I need a staunch conservative judge in the Scalia mold.
GORSUCH: Well, I have no strong opinions on anything in public, and in my private life, I attend some ultra-liberal social activist church.
TRUMP: Ah, okay. But is your JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY "originalist"? The Federalist Society tells me all the "originalist" judges will magically be awesome.
GORSUCH: So if I say yes, I get a lifetime job on the court? Sure! Yup, I'm "originalist"!
TRUMP: We got a winner here!
