WHAT KIND OF JUSTICES WILL TRUMP APPOINT?
The next President may appoint as many as FOUR Supreme Court Justices – in the first term alone -- What kind of Justices will Donald Trump Appoint?(Philip Klein, "Supreme Court will weigh heavily in next presidential election," Washington Examiner, 10/6/2014)
WOULD PRESIDENT TRUMP APPOINT A PRO-CHOICE JUSTICE?
Trump Said A Federal Court Judge Who Struck Down a Ban on Partial-Birth Abortion Would Be a “Phenomenal” Justice
Donald Trump’s sister Maryanne Trump Barry is a Federal Judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit – the second highest court in the country. In Planned Parenthood of Central New Jersey v. Farmer, the Third Circuit struck down the New Jersey Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, with Judge Trump Barry writing the majority opinion and offering a full-throated defense for legalizing infanticide:
“The Legislature’s argument that Roe and Casey are inapplicable to ‘partial-birth” abortion procedures because such procedures are infanticide rather than abortion is based on semantic machinations, irrational line-drawing, and an obvious attempt to inflame public opinion instead of logic or medical evidence,” Trump Barry wrote.
“…In what can only be described as a desperate attempt to circumvent over twenty-five years of abortion jurisprudence, the Legislature would draw a line based upon the location in the woman’s body where the fetus expires,” Trump Barry continued. “Establishing the cervix as the demarcation line between abortion and infanticide is nonsensical on its face as well as inaccurate because that line may be crossed in any number of abortion procedures which the Legislature concedes are constitutionally protected.… The Legislature’s attempt to label the Act a birth, instead of an abortion, regulation is nothing more than an effort to cloud the issues and avoid clear precedent.” (Frank Cannon, “Who Would Trump Appoint to the U.S. Supreme Court?”, The American Spectator, 12/23/2015)
Despite holding that exteme position, when asked about whether he would nominate Judge Trump Barry to the Supreme Court, candidate Trump said the following:
Donald Trump: “I have a sister who’s on the Court of Appeals and she’s fantastic. I think she would be phenomenal. I think she would be one of the best [Supreme Court Justices].”(Frank Cannon, “Who Would Trump Appoint to the U.S. Supreme Court?”, The American Spectator, 12/23/2015)
WOULD PRESIDENT TRUMP APPOINT A JUSTICE WHO WOULD ABOLISH OUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS?
When He Last Ran For President, Candidate Trump Criticized Republicans Who “Walk The NRA Line And Refuse Even Limited Restrictions” On The Second Amendment
Donald Trump: “The Republicans walk the NRA line and refuse even limited restrictions.” (Donald Trump, The America We Deserve, print edition 2000, p. 102)
Trump Said He Supports Stricter Gun Regulations
Donald Trump: “I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun.”(John Santucci, “Trump Reverses Stance on Assault Weapons in New Policy Paper,” ABC News, 9/18/2015)
WOULD PRESIDENT TRUMP ALLOW PRIVATE COMPANIES OR THE GOVERNMENT TO TAKE OUR PROPERTY?
Trump “Has A Track Record of Using The Government As A Hired Thug To Take Other People’s Property”(Robert Verbruggen, Donald Trump and Eminent Domain, National Review, 4/19/2011)
Donald Trump on Kelo v. New London: Eminent Domain is “Wonderful!” “I happen to agree with it 100%.” (Jim Geraghty, “Donald Trump: ‘Eminent Domain Is Wonderful’,”National Review, 10/7/2015)
In One Case, Trump Even Tried To Take An Elderly Widow’s Home – But She Beat Him
“[I]n the long melodrama that is Trump’s business career, the house in Atlantic City is the place where all the billionaire’s money and all the billionaire’s men couldn’t keep a 5-foot-3 widow from whupping him.
Trump wanted [Vera] Coking’s house — not to live in, but as a place to park limousines for his casino next door. But Coking wouldn’t let him have it. No way. No how. Never.
“It is a classic case of a schoolyard bully growing up,” said Clint Bolick, who co-founded the legal institute that defended Coking in a 1990s lawsuit with Trump and years later co-authored an immigration book with Bush, Trump’s nemesis and Republican presidential opponent. “He’s a thug.” (Manuel Roig-Franzia,“The Time Donald Trump’s Empire Took On A Stubborn Widow – And Lost,” Washington Post,” 9/9/15.)
As Constitutional law professor Ilya Somin said:
“Trump did not merely claim that the Kelo v. New London decision was legally correct; he argued that it was ‘good’ to give government the power to forcibly displace homeowners and small businesses and transfer their property to influential developers on the theory that doing so might promote ‘economic development.’" (Ilya, Somin, “Donald Trump’s History of Eminent Domain Abuse,” Washington Post, 8/19/15)
