Donald Trump made one of the most consequential decisions in his young Presidency.
Many were wondering who he would pick as his Supreme Court nominee.
When he made his selection, Trey Gowdy stepped forward with some strongly worded comments.
Gowdy praised Trump’s selection.
He tweeted two statements applauding Judge Neil Gorsuch’s respect for the Constitution, adherence to the rule of law, and commitment to Justice Scalia’s originalist judicial philosophy.

Judge Gorsuch's respect for the Constitution, commitment to the rule of law, and devotion to branch integrity will serve our nation well.
— Trey Gowdy (@TGowdySC) February 1, 2017
Justice Scalia believed judges should follow the original intent of the Founding Fathers when deciding cases.
They shouldn’t interpret the Constitution as a “living document” that evolves with the times.
The words mean what the words mean.
For his adherence to principle and flair for the dramatic when writing his opinions, Scalia was revered as one of the greatest Justices in Supreme Court history.
Trump promised he would appoint a Justice in the mold of Scalia, and his decision was the first big test to see if he would live up to his campaign promises.
And many conservatives – as evidenced by Gowdy’s tweets – believe Trump passed with flying colors.
Many conservative activists were looking to Gowdy for confirmation that Trump had made the right selection.
Afterall, the former prosecutor had been elected as part of the Tea Party wave in 2010 when he defeated moderate incumbent, Bob Inglis, in a primary challenge.
And in Congress, Gowdy chaired the Benghazi Select Committee on Intelligence which had uncovered Hillary Clinton’s illegal private email server.
With those qualifications, Gowdy’s endorsement of Neil Gorsuch sent a strong signal that Trump had followed through on his promise to conservatives for Supreme Court nominations.
Conservatives had been burned in the past by Republican presidents who had tried to slip “stealth” nominees like Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, and John Roberts through the confirmation process.
The grassroots were promised that despite the nominees’ thin records, they could be counted on.
Unfortunately these judges ended up selling out conservatives on key cases involving abortion, homosexual marriage, and Obamacare.
But it looks like conservatives have no such worries with Judge Neil Gorsuch.
I would be happy with either of these Constitutionalist’s on the Supreme Court!
Following the intent of the constitution is what matters, NOT creative “interpretation” to suit a political purpose.
This is what I have been begging for many years – follow the Constitution AS IT WAS WRITTEN, not as you would “interpret it”. Any elected, or appointed official who doesn’t follow the Constitution exactly as written is a traitor, and an oathbreaker. At one time, traitors were shot, or suffered hanging. This practice should be revived, and televised nationally as a deterrent to all who would try to bypass the Constitution, and Congress as a whole. Obama wrote, and signed more “executive decisions” than all the previous Presidents combined, to bypass Congressional authority. These actions by themselves brands Obama as a traitor to the people of the United States, his oath of office, and abuse of his powers as part of the Executive Branch of our Government. Obama should suffer the penalty of being a traitor. So should Hilary Clinton for her abuse of her powers as Secretary of State.
So right, its time that the silent majority started to stand up for the Constitution and whats right! If anyone commits treason, try them, and if convicted, hang them!!!
Here Here Sir!
You are exactly right!!!
Yes, it is about time we pull the “Benches” out from under these Judges that have no respect for the Constitution and love ruling from those said “Benches”! The louder the Liberals scream, the more you know you’re doing something “Right”!
Totally & happily, agree!
I believed that Trump was my choice for the Presidency since the Primaries. I didn’t worry about all the liberal press, nor the debates, nor what Clinton had to say on social media. Trump was like Reagan, no B-S, no mealy mouthing, no side stepping the issues. Trump hit everything head on with a spirit that I admired. So now Trump is President, and he is trying successfully to adhere to all his campaign promises. One thing that tells me that Trump is being the President I wanted is the cries and whining of anguish from the liberals every time Trump makes his choices for his type of government. Conservatives like me are rubbing our hands in glee every time a Pelosi type screeches bloody murder at his actions. For far to many years, Conservatives sat quietly while the liberal government ran roughshod over our needs and rights. Now it is time that liberals suffer in the same way while Trump brings back the Country and Government we once knew and loved.
How many liberals claimed that they would leave the Country if Trump became President? How many actually left? None that I know of. President Trump – keep on making America great once again, you have my total support.
Canada did not want them. The story was, it would take ten years to become a citizen of Canada. And, they have closed their borders for the present.
They close their borders, but say we should not build a wall. Seriously?
The same amountt that was leaving when Obama won his second term. He was supposes to be a one term president. Trump is heading to make us great mess. Mad dog a flop,the motor mouth pitch lady, the war plan. He really doing great.
Trump is making America Great Again!! Get use to it snowflake.
Ok dummy follow that train wreck.
Already followed Obama’s train wreck, dummy!
As one dummy to the other every day some one leaves. Trump mouth started this war with the press, FBI,CIA all outfits you don’t want piss off. They will dig up his dirt. Have a good day.
Who did you vote for if you don’t mind me asking?
That is not for you to know. I do mind, I did not ask you. Because I don’t care. When I went to school they had a class for civics. They don’t teach that any more. This is the dumming down of our kids. Also don’t know how to write or read scripe. That is how we ended up with two bad people running. I called it a rat and a roach. by by.
Fist time I’ve seen a president criticized for keeping campaign promises. You go President Trump
Gee I thought Doc like a M.D. Now I see one of the seven dwarfs from the fairy tales. There has always been a war with the press. Back in a land long ago, before reporters did not consider themselves to be celebrities. That was until the Hollywood elite started using them to advance their agendas. Now they are not reporters, they are pawns of the elite who serve as a mouthpiece for whatever the celebs favor. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus was a very long time ago. Kinda miss it.
Back to your quarters in the basement.
Don’t have a basement I own my home.
Absolutely, well said! Thus, no further need for comment!
The Constitution does not need Creative interpretation.It was written to be understood just the way it is.To many people try to0 change it by over thinking it just like they do with the Bible.
And History
Historical Revisionists think they can change history. They teach in most colleges and universities.
Constitutional Revisionists think they can change our U.S. Constitution to fit their own opinion or what is trending in leftist thought at the time.
Biblical Revisionists want to change the Word of God-the Holy Bible to discount every scripture (such as Romans Chapter One) they object to and warp others to their own destruction.
Our recent POTUS did all three. American patriots rose up and voted for a non-politician builder to bring healing and restoration and to Make America Great Again!
Have read from some law makers, didn’t say their political affiliation, that words can change over time. Would like for them to Read the Ten Commandments !
They had the Ten Commandments taken down – made them uncomfortable.
The Ten Commandments are inscribed in the doors of the Supreme Court
BETTER YET.
Have them recite the Ten Commandments by heart.
The reason the Democrats are fighting so hard against President Trump is they realize that Ginsberg is 82 – Kennedy 79 – Beyer – 77. They are scared to death that President Trump may appoint not 1 but 4 Supreme Court Justices. God help us he will.
There’s really one constitutionalist on the supreme court, C.Thomas
We have a ray of hope with President Trump at the helm.
I pinch myself every morning knowing he is now in Office. Never happier to see the backs of the illigitamate fraud #44, Killary, Lynch, etal.
Mmmmmmmm bye bye!
I hope trump has made a good choice and this guy is a staunch conservative constitutional judge . If he isn’t it wild be a disaster. Buck ??⚔?? 100% disabled Vietnam veteran Christian Right wing republican lifetime member NRA and friend to Israel

Please tell your husband for me (welcome home). Thank you for your kind words.

I wish he had chosen Trey Gowdy.
Right now, Gowdy is needed right where he is. As a Justice, he wouldn’t be able to run these people through the wringer during Senate investigations.
Gowdy is relatively young still. Who knows where he will want to go in the future. I agree. Trump needs him IN the Congress because those Democrats are out of their mind! He NEEDS good people backing him up….and backing US UP!
No law is a living document. The speed limit in a school zone during appropriate hours is always the speed limit until the school closes or the law is rescinded. Same for tax laws. All these lawyers in DC, etc. really want to make laws that suit them and their careers is why they want to turn the Constitution into a political football. Instead of believing in the rule of law. Isn’t this the essence of PC? Do what is best for the law makers, the party, not for the nation? What has happened is PC has been corrupted by people with influence. To the bankers PC means doing what is best for staying super rich. For muslims PC means doing what is best for islam so they can establish sharia law here. Like they are doing in Turkey. For illegal immigrants PC means to get as much free stuff as they can. A near as i can tell, many of our elected officials, prior to Trump, do not believe in much of anything. They are just like a mob of people running through the street lashing and burning anything they don’t like.
Islam has had a civil war for 1300 years over who is the legit successor to Mo. And they are trying to bring that stuff here, in Europe, etc.. We certainly don’t need their stuff here!
Every American should read the book “Because They Hate” by Brigitte Gabriel, then tell me that these radical Islamic Muslim terrorist are not monsters who want to conquer our way of life and kill us all if we don’t believe as them. She tells it like it is and all about her nightmare life as a child growing up in Lebanon and the horrible atrocities these radical Islamic Muslim terrorist committed. Just one instance in her book tells of these Muslim infiltrators coming into Lebanon and finding a Christian family hiding to protect their baby. These monsters tied one of the baby’s legs to the mother and the other to the father and pulled each of them in different directions until they split the baby in half, do you think this sign waving idiots know anything about things like that. No they don’t! These snowflakes that are out carrying signs protesting President Trumps temporary ban to allow these people into our country have no clue what they are doing or why they are doing it other than that they are getting paid by some hate filled Communist to do his hatchet job on President Trump and his voters. I am so sick of these low information dummies that have NO knowledge of what they are doing to our country and our freedoms. They have no respect for our country and I wish each and everyone of them should have to live just one day in Brigitte Gabriel’s life, only then would they throw those idiotic, stupid signs down and realize that their ignorance of these monsters intentions is the only reason they carried them in the first place. Had they read and had real knowledge of what these monsters are capable of they would not be protesting the ban to keep them out, they would know it is to protect all Americans, them included!!! God grant me patience to understand “stupid”!!!
