Trump Supreme Court (view source)
Revision as of 11:50, February 13, 2017

The '''Trump Supreme Court''' depends on a good analysis of candidates in order to avoid making a mistake. [[Donald Trump]] wants to appoint judges like [[Antonin Scalia]], and has said so publicly. But some of the judges given to Trump by the [[Heritage Foundation]] and [[Federalist Society]] fall far short of that standard, and could even become future [[liberal]]s if appointed to the [[U.S. Supreme Court]]. '''''The [[liberal media]] are heavily promoting the more liberal candidates on Trump's list, to try to steer Trump away from picking a [[conservative]]'''''.
During his 2016 campaign for President, [[Donald Trump]] released two lists of candidates for a vacancy on the Supreme Court and pledged to appoint Justices from those lists.<ref name="NYT-5-18">

'''''The [[liberal media]] are heavily promoting the more liberal candidates on Trump's list, to try to steer Trump away from picking a [[conservative]]'''''. Trump made good on his promise to nominate from the list and selected [[Neil Gorsuch]] to fill Antonin Scalia's seat. It is likely that at least one more vacancy will arise during Trump's term.
Perhaps only three candidates on the entire list of 21 are reliably pro-life: Florida Supreme Court Justice Charles Canady, federal appellate Judge Raymond Gruender, and U.S. Senator Mike Lee.
