Trump says evangelicals will love his Supreme Court pick: TV interview

Source: Reuters


27 JAN 2017 AT 15:08 ET

President Donald Trump said on Friday that evangelical Christians would love his choice to fill an open seat on the Supreme Court, adding that he is pretty certain who it will be but “not 100 percent.”

“I think the person I pick will be big, big,” Trump said, according to a partial transcript of a Christian Broadcasting Network interview set to air in full on Sunday. “I think evangelicals, Christians will love my pick.”

Trump has said he would make his decision this week and announce it next Thursday.

We have our own religious/political folks who say Catholics are not Christians.

Franklin (and Billy) Graham say Mormons are not Christians

According to them, Catholics are not Christians either.

"We need something like what Jerry Falwell did in the 1980s. We need a “moral majority”—made up of Christians, Jews, Mormons, Catholics and many others of faith—to come together to take a stand for our religious freedoms and rights."« less

Suffice it to say anyone who isn't in the group that thinks the only problem with the Taliban is the church they go to will despise this pick.

There's no requirement that members of the Supreme Court have any legal experience, is there?

(Having the Wasilla PD show up when your family starts exchanging punches with a feudin' clan at Bob's Country Bunker does not count.)

She would be a very good pick for that whackadoodle.
We know she's pro-life for sure, no matter how young mom is.
