I've heard/read a couple places online today that Trump promised Ted Cruz that he would nominate Mike Lee to SCOTUS in exchange for Cruz's eventual support.

A nomination I would certainly support.

You will see that your Joy Behar talking points about Trump were wrong. Trump will make solid appointments to the Supreme Court and give the Constitution a 20-25 year reprieve from the Libtard onslaught.



I always had faith in the judgment of Rudy Giuliani, Laura Ingraham, Newt Gingrich, etc. Trump will be good for America thru Conservative, Constitutional principles.

I've never used any person's talking points about Trump.



It's time for the country to come together not to further attempt to belittle or divide the nation and the people. Trump's speech last night did a great job of starting that, but now his followers need to start following suite or we will have a country that builds on the division that we've seen growing over the last 8 years under Obama.

That would be good but my dream would be that he talks Roberts into retirement and appoints Cruz Chief Justice.

I can't imagine any scenario in which Roberts retires. Is there some news I don't realize, like he's sick or unhappy being Chief Justice?

Suhweeeeet!

Wait I thought the whole thing was rigged? Sigh. Your man won. I congratulate you and yours. I will endeavor to pray for him. Right now I confess that when I do so, bile comes up. I think the only people more pleased than you are the folks in the Kremlin. This country is or at least can be greater than any President. That is my hope and that we didn't just get a mess of pottage.

Again more media misdirection. Don has no interest in Russia unlike HRC who "sold" half our uranium to Russia. All Trump said was that Putin was a strong leader. He was comparing our feckless and weak CnC to the Russian president who had the world trembling. The media has run with that and blown it so out of proportion and context.

Nothing except I'm pretty sure he is compromised. He wrote the opinion against Obamacare penalty and the day of the vote he switched and made up a dishonest reason calling it a tax that was still illegal since it would have originated from the senate. They have something on him or paid him off or something. He should retire now that Trump is president since a conservative can be appointed in his place.

Good.

I'm actually hoping for Justice Don Willett. If for no other reason than his twitter feed is funny, thoughtful and he certainly has some good experience.

Didn't SCJ Ruth Ginsburg say she was leaving if Trump was elected? I've got my fingers crossed that she's a woman of her word. That'd be another spot that will have to be filled by a Trump nominee.

I would be really surprised if he chose Lee, who never endorsed him.

Again I disagree with regards to how pleased the Kremlin is with Trump's election, but as stated, the point is moot.

I think Sen. Lee shot himself in the foot when he told Trump to "step aside" and quit the race. Lee also shot down the trial balloon for himself to a supreme court nominee. Sadly - he toasted himself. Lots of other qualified Conservatives.

In terms of constitutional legal minds there are very few who are as talented and conservative as Mike Lee. We will see if Trump lets pettiness hold him back from nominating him or not, but if so, so be it. It's far more important to do what you feel is right than to compromise your values for a potential job.

I know. Putin took the time to send him a note unlike the lazy world leaders that just called. I wonder what Trump owns in Israel? They appear to be the most elated with his election. Egypt too.

I hope that they now pass some laws to remove fraud from the voting process. I would like to be able to go online after the election to confirm that my vote was recorded correctly. Or mail it and then see how many are returned from dead people Or who had two votes cast.



I would also like to see some fraud investigators hired in all areas of government.

I think Trump does two things right off the bat:



1) Nominates Lee to SCOTUS



and



2) Pardons Hillary.



Trump is no longer campaigning. He now needs to preside and move his broader agenda forward, which is going to require a coalition. His acceptance speech was an indicator of the beginning of that shift. Nominating one of the leaders of the #NeverTrump movement to SCOTUS would immediately bring Michael Medved, Glenn Beck, and a host of other constitutional conservatives who opposed Trump back into the tent and go a long way to healing that divide. Pardoning Hillary won't necessarily bring any Democrats on board, but it eliminates massive source of partisan sniping. Putting the Clintons firmly in the rearview is a huge step forward.

1. mike lee would be awesome.

2. I'd rather see HRC go behind bars, just like I'd like to see Trump or any Republican that committed crimes worthy of prison put in their place. Have to get away from the privileged vs main street punishment perception in regards to crime. Otherwise we are sending a message that if you have enough influence or money we do not rule by law. and there's no way a pardon puts HRC and bill and the rest of the Clinton mob in the rearview.
