JUSTICES
(New York, NY) May 18, 2016 - Today Donald J. Trump released the much-
anticipated list of people he would consider as potential replacements for
Justice Scalia at the United States Supreme Court. This list was compiled,
first and foremost, based on constitutional principles, with input from
highly respected conservatives and Republican Party leadership.
Mr. Trump stated, “Justice Scalia was a remarkable person and a brilliant
Supreme Court Justice. His career was defined by his reverence for the
Constitution and his legacy of protecting Americans’ most cherished
freedoms. He was a Justice who did not believe in legislating from the bench
and he is a person whom I held in the highest regard and will always
greatly respect his intelligence and conviction to uphold the Constitution
of our country. The following list of potential Supreme Court justices is
representative of the kind of constitutional principles I value and, as
President, I plan to use this list as a guide to nominate our next United
States Supreme Court Justices.”
Steven Colloton
Steven Colloton of Iowa is a judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Eighth Circuit, a position he has held since President George W. Bush
appointed him in 2003. Judge Colloton has a résumé that also includes

, a Special Assistant to the Attorney General in the Justice Department’s

发帖数: 10469 | 13 Then there’s Thomas Hardiman. Another Bush appointee, Hardiman is a law and
order guy. He wrote an opinion affirming the constitutionality of a jail’s
policy to strip search every single arrestee—even those brought in for
minor traffic offenses. (Regrettably, the high court narrowly upheld his
decision.) In a different case, Hardiman wrote that there is no clearly
established First Amendment right to videotape law enforcement officers in
public—an extremely dubious if not outright incorrect proposition. Hardiman
reads the Second Amendment quite broadly, arguing that states cannot
restrict residents’ ability to carry handguns in public. And while he
interprets the First Amendment broadly in the realm of campaign
contributions, he takes a very narrow view of students’ free speech rights.
Sound familiar?

发帖数: 10469 | 14 Trump’s Supreme Court Shortlist Just Made Conservatives Very, Very Happy
Once Donald Trump became the presumptive Republican presidential nominee,
some conservatives wondered whether congressional Republicans should simply
confirm Merrick Garland, a judicial moderate, rather than take a gamble with
Trump. The candidate, after all, has been vague on his ideal Supreme Court
candidate—even floating his sister, a left-leaning federal judge. On
Wednesday, however, Trump likely squashed any Republican fears that his
judicial selection would be insufficiently conservative and signaled to
those Republicans still unsure about supporting him by releasing his SCOTUS
short list. The 11 names on his list are all staunchly right wing, more in
the vein of the blatantly partisan Justice Samuel Alito than of the
libertarian-leaning iconoclast Justice Antonin Scalia.
Let’s start with Judge Raymond Gruender, whom George W. Bush appointed to
the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Gruender is best known for voting to
uphold a South Dakota “informed consent” law, which requires doctors to
reel off dubious information about abortion to women seeking the procedure—
including the statement that “abortion will terminate the life of a whole,
separate, unique, living human being.” The judge also voted to cease
federal monitoring of a desegregation plan in Little Rock, Arkansas. (Little
Rock—what could go wrong there?) And Gruender issued a very Alito-like
opinion in a decision concluding that the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of
1978 did not require insurance companies to cover contraception for women
who only need birth control to prevent pregnancy.
Then there’s Thomas Hardiman. Another Bush appointee, Hardiman is a law and
order guy. He wrote an opinion affirming the constitutionality of a jail’s
policy to strip search every single arrestee—even those brought in for
minor traffic offenses. (Regrettably, the high court narrowly upheld his
decision.) In a different case, Hardiman wrote that there is no clearly
established First Amendment right to videotape law enforcement officers in
public—an extremely dubious if not outright incorrect proposition. Hardiman
reads the Second Amendment quite broadly, arguing that states cannot
restrict residents’ ability to carry handguns in public. And while he
interprets the First Amendment broadly in the realm of campaign
contributions, he takes a very narrow view of students’ free speech rights.
Sound familiar?
Diane Sykes, a 7th Circuit judge and yet another Bush nominee, follows a
similar pattern. Sykes once wrote that the First Amendment likely requires
public universities to give taxpayer money to student groups that
discriminate against gay people—a conclusion that the Supreme Court
ultimately rejected. She also held that the Constitution protects firing
ranges, locating a right to use such ranges in the penumbra of the Second
Amendment.
William Pryor, an 11th Circuit judge, has an equally conservative history.
Pryor was one of the first federal judges to dramatically expand the Supreme
Court’s Hobby Lobby ruling, applying it to a Catholic TV network. Pryor
also blocked a Florida clean elections law that contributed matching funds
to a high-spending candidate’s opponent, holding that it violated the high-
spending candidate’s freedom of speech. But he upheld a Georgia ordinance
designed to zone adult entertainment stores out of business. Pryor also
affirmed the constitutionality of a strict Georgia voter ID law and held
that a Supreme Court decision limiting juvenile life without parole did not
apply retroactively. (The Supreme Court disagreed with him.)
And then there’s Don Willett, a Texas Supreme Court Justice whose
delightful social media presence distracts from the fact that his
constitutional views place him somewhere in the 1890s. Willett believes
judges should use constitutional due process guarantees to invalidate
economic regulations they don’t like. The U.S. Supreme Court struck down
oodles of progressive legislation, including much of the New Deal, under
this same theory; taken to its logical conclusion, it would require the
court to invalidate most of our regulatory state. Willett is no fan of Trump
—but could he really resist that tantalizing opportunity?
Although the rest of Trump’s picks have a more opaque record, they appear
to be pretty much more of the same. These are judges who think the First
Amendment protects a religious group’s right to discriminate against gays,
and plutocrats’ right to buy elections, but not the free speech of students
or abortion doctors. Down the line, they view the Second Amendment as near-
absolute. They don’t like economic regulation, abortion, or contraception,
but they don’t mind stringent voting restrictions. Oh, and they are all
absolutely brilliant. If this is what you want the United States Supreme
Court to look like—and a lot of conservatives do—Trump is your man.
