Santorum:
"Yeah, let's go get them"? Sounds like (some) conservatives don't want a constitutionalist sitting on the bench for the next 30 years. Sounds like they want an activist, for right now. Damn it!
The question is; is he a constitutionalist? He clerked under Kennedy and is a Bushy. Anyway you look at that = moderate, which doesn't exactly scream constitutionalist, nor does it scream conservative.
Trump lost a ton of credibility on this one for me. Appeasing the liberals, and the GOPe is what most of us who aren't exactly fond of Trump have feared. If he's willing to compromise on this issue, I don't see a whole lot of hope going forward. I now have great doubts about him again and I'm not so sure that my recent assessment of him has been accurate. I thought Trump was leaning more conservatively, but it sure seems by this pick that he's comfortably settling in with the establishment.
