We Need to Elect a Republican President So He Can Appoint Conservative Supreme Court Justices
June 27, 2015
Like Anthony Kennedy? He just wrote the Supreme Court decision that redefined marriage that every conservative in the country is upset about. He was appointed by President Ford (a Republican) to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in 1975. Then he was appointed by President Reagan (a Republican) to the Supreme Court in 1988. His nomination was confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 97-0, which means that every Republican in the Senate at the time who voted voted for Kennedy.
And then there is Justice John “Obamacare” Roberts.
“We need to elect a Republican president so he can appoint conservative Supreme Court justices” is just another GOP myth to sucker conservatives into voting Republican.
