There are some of us out here in flyover country who are one issue voters this season -- supreme court justices.
Hillary predicted not long ago that the next president may have the opportunity to nominate three supreme court justices during the next one or two terms, and that was before Antonin Scalia died. That's a scary thought. For the future of our republic those nominees need to be strong believers in the constitution as it was written, not as a justice might want it to be. That's the difference between strict constructionists and proponents of a living constitution.
Conservatives know that Hillary's nominations would probably not be good for the citizenry, especially those who favor gun rights. Ted Cruz is the only one we can probably rely on for good nominations.
But now Donald Trump is addressing the issue by saying he'll name people he would nominate. Hooray! Right now it's looking as though a Clinton/Trump match up is a choice between horrible and unknown. So let's get those names vetted before the election.
