Will POTUS be happy with SCOTUS?
By Bill Hansmann
We will soon know whether the three justices of the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) that our 45th President of the United States (POTUS) Donald Trump appointed during his first term will affirm most, if not all, of his efforts to ‘drain the swamp’ during his second term in office.
Today, SCOTUS is comprised of six justices appointed by Republican presidents:
Justice Clarence Thomas, nominated by President Bush, the elder, Chief Justice John Roberts, and Justice Samuel Alito, appointed by President Bush, the younger, and justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, nominated by President Trump. The three remaining justices are Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, appointed by President Obama, and Ketanji Brown, nominated by President Biden.
Given the fact that the Democrats are hell-bent on using the courts in their attempt to block virtually every move that Donald Trump makes, it is a virtual certainty that the final say on many of these matters will belong to the Supreme Court. The three justices appointed by Democrat presidents are highly likely, if not guaranteed, to vote against Trump. Of the six Republican-appointed jurists, Clarence Thomas is the only sure thing for our President. Roberts and Alito have shown themselves to be less than loyal to the party that gave them their positions on SCOTUS, and the three Trump appointees have occasionally disagreed with the President in their decisions. That is, of course, the way it should be.
