I saw an interview with Trump on Hannity last night, I'm really surprised regressives haven't posted a thousand threads on it by now, screaming and cursing Trump. But since they haven't I figured what the hell.
During the interview Sean asked Trump what supreme court justices would he try to replicate if he had the opportunity to appoint one or more judges to the court. To my utter surprise he said Scalia and Thomas. Maybe this guy is more conservative than many are giving him credit for.
Your thoughts?
Canned answer for base appeal. Hil uses her super secret illegal email account to keep him up to date on probable questions and best answers.
Did I mention Trump and Thomas have been friends for years?
The last part was joke, just wanted to make sure that was clear. I'll stick by the first part. When Trumps run was a rumor I started looking at him a bit. Didn't know much but the outline, never watched The Apprentice for example. One of the first things I got on him was an interview he did with Howard Stern from YouTube, not sure how dated it was. He was funny, earthy, smart, entertaining. I thought "This guys not a complete nut like his birther rep suggests". He was likeable and I got the impression a lot more liberal than I had assumed. He's got a lot of friends, I can see why, wouldn't surprise me at all if he was friends with Thomas. I've read Thomas's autobiography and quite a bit about him. Him I don't like. I won't get started on that.
I don't know a lot about Thomas the person, but his record on the court has been pretty consistently conservative.
Yep, that's great if you're a conservative. Luckily all my notes on him are on a crashed hard drive, he's the type of subject I tend to get carried away on. That's why I said "I won't get started on that." If you ever look at him find something on his "absent while present" reputation. He went years without asking a single question from the bench. OK, not another word.
Judges have styles of their own, oral arguments are really nothing but summations of briefs already filed with the court. Maybe he felt he had all he needed in the documentation.
