I was in a meeting this week on Capitol Hill with Congressman Pitts of Pennsylvania. We were discussing judges, and he made the great point that six justices currently sitting on the Supreme Court are over the age of 70. Five of those justices are in favor of Roe v. Wade and the current culture of death in America.
The next President will likely nominate multiple justices to the Court. Do we want a President who will nominate justices who pass an abortion-rights litmus test or one who publicly states that their nominees be in the style of Roberts, Alito, Scalia, and Thomas and strictly interpret the Constitution rather than continue this atrocious legacy of legislating from the bench?

You’re absolutely right. Unfortunately, Republican presidents haven’t had the best luck with their Supreme Court nominations. 17 of the last 23 associates justices have been nominated by Republicans, as have all 5 chief justices in that time span. But hopefully the vetting process is much better now, right?
