DEEP DIVE REVEALS DECISIVE DECISIONS

Trump's Expectations for Loyalty from Supreme Court Nominees
Loyalty as a Key Factor

President Trump is expected to prioritize loyalty in his judicial nominations during his second term. This marks a shift from his first term, where he often selected judges based on traditional conservative credentials. Now, he is leaning towards nominees who are openly supportive of his agenda and demonstrate personal loyalty to him.
Impact on Judicial Selection

MAGA-Friendly Nominees: Trump aims to appoint judges who align closely with the MAGA movement, indicating a preference for candidates who will support his policies and decisions.

Criticism of Previous Networks: Trump has expressed dissatisfaction with the Federalist Society, which played a significant role in his first-term nominations. He is now seeking nominees who are less influenced by traditional conservative legal circles.

Implications for the Supreme Court

This approach could lead to a Supreme Court that is more aligned with Trump's political views and less focused on established conservative jurisprudence. The emphasis on loyalty may affect the independence of the judiciary, raising concerns among traditional conservatives about the future direction of the court.

Trump wants his next Supreme Court justice to be 'guided by loyalty' to ...
The current guidelines for the next Trump Supreme Court nominee appear to favor a jurist in the mold of Justice Thomas, Justice Alito, or the late Justice Antonin Scalia.


AH YES, THE LOVELY SOUND OF LOYALTY......A POTUS PRIORITY

Antonin Scalia's loyalty was to the Constitution. He was nominated to the Supreme Court by Ronald Reagan because of his loyalty to the Constitution.

It would do no good for Reagan, Trump, Obama, Biden, or anyone else to nominate based upon personal loyalty; that's a premise that is so deeply flawed as to be ridiculous when expressed. A judge will sit on a bench far beyond the term of any president that nominates them.

And yes, Trump, like all of his predecessors, will nominate those who share an interpretation of the Constitution with him. That's an expectation, it's the normal course that is followed. You can bet your last fiat dime that FDR wasn't nominating people to sit on the Supreme Court that had the opposite view of whether his "New Deal" legislation ran afoul of the Constitution. FDR threatened to pack the court with sycophants if SCOTUS kept overturning his New Deal legislation. There's your example of an oligarch, or a tyrant . . .

Didn't work so well for the Bushes. Nominated David Souter, got a liberal justice.


Some of my more conservative friends think Justice Amy is a secret liberal too.

In Bush the Elder's defense, Senate had a majority of Democrats in 1990 and the justice who left the court was Brennan, considered the leader of the court's left wing. No way in Hades Bush was going to go try to get another Scalia on the court under those circumstances. He didn't have the political capital, or will, to fight that battle.

True. You only get to pick who will pass muster.

Why I think Trump needs to encourage the older Justices to retire now so he can replace them with younger Constitutional scholars. Clarence Thomas is getting up there.

Seems the federal judges issuing nationwide injunctions are less than pleased when SCOTUS overturns their actions. They are feeling like SCOTUS "doesn't have their backs" and a group of "anonymous" judges have written a critique of SCOTUS as a result.

News flash, when a judge issues a ruling based upon policy rather than law, it isn't SCOTUS' duty to "have your back", it is their duty to overrule your action so that judicial decisions are the result of fidelity to the Constitution and the rule of law instead of political policy you may happen to agree with.

Abortion Rights – The ideological leanings of the Republican justices have shifted the landscape surrounding reproductive rights following the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade.
Gun Rights – Recent rulings reflect a robust interpretation of the Second Amendment, with implications for state and federal gun control measures.
Religious Freedom – The Court has increasingly favored cases that bolster religious liberty claims, impacting legislation and policy at both state and federal levels.
Administrative Authority – Republican-appointed justices have shown skepticism towards expansive interpretations of administrative powers, affecting the regulatory landscape across industries.

Conclusion

The current composition of Republican justices on the Supreme Court reflects a significant shift towards conservative jurisprudence that may shape American law for decades to come. Understanding their backgrounds and judicial philosophies is crucial for predicting future legal trends and outcomes in high-stakes cases that affect various aspects of American life.

EXCUSE ME.....THE PHILOSOPHY/MINDSET OF A JUDGE HAS AN IMPACT ON INTERPRETATION OF THE CONSTITUTION.....NJMO....READ THIS POST VERY CAREFULLY...U R NOT CORRECT
(IN THE BOLDED PART OF YOUR POST PS)

Posting the same paragraphs twice doesn't make them more relevant HA. If you remember, it was Chief Justice Roberts who decided that the (un)Affordable Care Act was constitutional under the power of Congress to levy a tax even though it failed constitutional muster using the necessary and proper clause.

Roberts has been a swing vote during his time as Chief Justice. There are a number of decisions where Roberts sided with the left wing of the court and his vote decided the outcome. That is one of the reasons why it is hilariously ridiculous when you attempt to label Roberts as one of the justices owing allegiance to Trump. The facts simply don't support your allegation.

What is telling, however, is that Brown, Biden's pick, has been a sole outlier from the rest of the justices. There has yet to be a decision where one of the justices nominated by a Republican president has that same distinction. To allege that she is bound by allegiance to something other than the Constitution therefore has some merit attached to it.

ZING.....RIGHT OVER YOUR HEAD, YES I KNOW ROBERTS IS THE EQUALIZER (BY THE WAY THE TEXT WAS DUPPED, I DID NOT POST TWICE.)THE POINT BEING....EACH OF THE JUDGES ON THE SCOTUS BRING THEIR OWN PHILOSOPHY TO THE TABLE (A PERFECT EXAMPLE IS THAT WEASEL K.),THE MATTER OF INTERPRETATION OF THE CONSTITUTION IS THEN NOT SET IN STONE, BUT RATHER SEEN BY THE EYE OF THE SPECIFIC JUDGE. IF THAT JUDGE IS MALE OR RIGHT WING/LEFT WING LEANING,THEN THE DECISION MADE WILL LEAN IN WHATEVER DIRECTION THE JUDGE ALIGNS WITH.....THE CONSTITUTION IS NOT BEING FOLLOWED,END OF STORY.
