Conservative Legal Scholars Prefer A Liberal Supreme Court To A President Trump “The court is important, to be sure — but not nearly that important.” 08/12/2016 12:24 pm ET | Updated 38 minutes ago From the article... "[M]any of the country’s top right-leaning legal scholars ― the people who understand the importance of the Supreme Court more than anyone ― just don’t find that argument compelling. “The court is important, to be sure ― but not nearly that important,” said retired Temple University Law School Professor David Post, who now writes for the conservative website the Volokh Conspiracy. “With all due respect to my colleagues who might feel differently, this one strikes me as a no-brainer.” The next president might end up only filling a single seat on the court, Post said. “The idea that it makes sense to trade a single justice for all of Trump’s terrible baggage ― his bullying, his ignorance, his appalling tendency to shoot his mouth off without thinking, and all the rest of it ― strikes me as thoroughly preposterous,” he added. "Ilya Somin, who teaches law at George Mason University and also blogs for the Volokh Conspiracy, argues that a Trump presidency might even be worse for the courts than a Clinton one. “Trump has a terrible record on constitutional issues,” he said. “He seeks to gut freedom of speech and constitutional property rights, and undermine constitutional constraints on executive power even more than Bush and Obama have.” Full article >>
Please keep your distance Ricter. No need to insult anyone to make a point. Yes, as crazy as it may be, I prefer a Trump win. I would have even preferred Bernie over Hillary, noting that Bernie's socialist ideals are an abomination. But fundamentally, I dislike the Clintons even more, I find them extremely dishonest. I just don't like her. I don't like him either. But unlike her, he can really change things around. Not owing anyone political favors, and not giving a damn about being PC, could really straighten things out in DC.
Child in a man's body: “I love watching these poor, pathetic people (pundits) on television working so hard and so seriously to try and figure me out,” he tweeted an hour later. “They can’t!”
Lol @ "no need to insult to make a point", coming from a Drumpf supporter. That's rich. Even so, note that I said you appeared to be rooting for X, not that you are X.
"Donald Trump on Friday walked back his claim that President Barack Obama founded the terrorist group ISIS, saying he had just been joking for the past two days. But in many ways, the damage had already been done: Other Republicans had to go on TV and try to defend a comment that their nominee isn’t even standing by any longer." Good job there, Drumpf.
