   I was just thinking about how there are literally persons in this nation who would like to see a baker forced to bake penis cakes. I thank God above for Donald Trump, and am quite certain his nominees are what are best for all persons in the nation, whether they know it or not.

   What little I know (he appears to rule constitutionally rather than from bias, belief or party platform) I'm happy.
   
   What I'm not happy about is the screams that are demanding a judge that will ignore the law and rule how they want to see things.  It is incredible, to me, that in a nation of laws we would ever wish to see such a person on the highest court in the land, willing and able to make new law outside of the halls of congress and outside of our constitution.

      I heard a radio commentator the other day discussing how just a few decades ago, the Senate vote was on whether a person was qualified to be on the court, not what their leanings were.  Most justices back then were confirmed almost unanimously.

         Yep.  Our vaunted "leaders" want a justice that rules by party policies, not law.  It is destroying our court system; witness the "rulings" that have shut down Trumps quite legal actions because the judge didn't like the idea.  What percentage of 9th circuit court decisions that make it to the SCOTUS and are reaffirmed as correct?  50%  And when those decisions have political implications what is it then?  10%?

            I care little about today's political definitions  , fact ;conservative and liberal have such incredibly different definitive directions for our constitution  , by that alone we can see who should be picking SCOTUS nominees . One would normally say a balance would be important  yet with liberal party evolution away from tradition ?   I hope Trump gets to choose two more at least -and very well could.

               Agreed - Trump has also put more justices on the lower courts than people might realize - the Judicial Branch has long been a source of Democrat strength with activist Judges legislating from the bench
