This Woman Should Be Trump's First Supreme Court Pick
[National Review] Diane Sykes has become a clarion voice for conservative jurisprudence.

For many conservatives, including myself, the decision to vote for Trump was not an easy one. But after a long, nightmarish primary, the calculation came down to a simple binary choice: vote for Trump to stop Hillary and save the courts or vote for Hillary (or a third-party candidate or write-in) and watch the erosion of our courts continue.

In a matter of hours, conservatives went from fretting over whether Senate Republicans should have relented and confirmed Judge Merrick Garland to dusting off Trump’s list of potential Supreme Court nominees. It’s important to note the commitment made by candidate Trump. Part of the deal for many conservatives was that, in exchange for their vote, there was an expectation of strict adherence to relevant commitments.

For those of us who see the future of the courts as crucial the preservation of liberty, Trump’s list must be followed in the spirit of Justice Scalia -- read within the four corners of the document.
Con't.

#1 Remember if its a woman, black, or gay, if they are not a Prog, then they're not a REAL woman, black or gay. They'll continue to denounce and degrade who ever is the nominee. See - Justice Thomas.

#3 It's a shame it's not Cruz. For all his other faults, he is a strict constitution follower and not likely to "evolve"
