By William Bennett August 23, 2016 wrote, “People often ask me how I – a so-called conservative intellectual and author of “The Book of Virtues” - can support and vote for Donald Trump. I have many good reasons, but nothing on the home front is more important than the Supreme Court.
Our country can survive the occasional infelicities and improprieties of Donald Trump. But it cannot survive losing the Supreme Court to liberals and allowing them to wreck our sacred republic. It would reshape the country for decades.If Hillary Clinton wins the presidency, she will, without a doubt, appoint a dyed in the wool liberal to fill Antonin Scalia's seat, thereby giving liberals a strong five-person majority on the Court. It could get even worse if Justice Kennedy retires and Clinton replaces him with another liberal, giving them an unstoppable six seats on the Court.”
I agree with Bennett except for that possibly the GOP can gain power, impeach liberal justices, and appoint responsible conservatives to the bench in 2021 and after. Trump if elected president will try to turn this country into a fascist police state, and we cannot recover from that except through Civil War.
