Over the past 50 years Republican presidents have picked 13 of the past 17 SCOTUS Judges. Looking at how bad the judiciary is and the flaming garbage that the court has been dishing out over that time period. I have no confidence that this next pick will be whatever a "conservative" is supposed to be. Every time the R's finally believe they have a majority either a swing comes or a judge will come out as left wing.
Democrats don't have this problem, they place staunch left wing judges on the bench yet Republicans can't place a couple of good one right wing ones on.
Anyone he picks will be a slightly better improvement than Ginsburg, but things generally won't improve. Roberts is the swing now and Gorsuch is willing to declare a majority of a state an Indian Reserve. From 1991-1993 there was a single Democrat appointed judge on the bench and what did they do? They upheld Roe vs Wade. From 1994 to 2005 the court was 7-2 same deal, same result more left wing "progression". This circus over a person that both sides know will be weak and will subvert a "conservative" agenda in the future amuses me.
"There is a point in the history of a society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, and does this quite seriously and honestly. Punishing somehow seems unfair to it, and it is certain that imagining ‘punishment’ and ‘being supposed to punish’ hurts it, arouses fear in it." Friedrich Nietzsche
I agree that conservatives are usually more likely to be betrayed, but that should not be exaggerated. Many of these picks were confirmed by Democratic Senates, so it is not so shocking that they were not truly conservative.
Justice Clarence Thomas was confirmed by a Democratic Senate and is nonetheless the most conservative Justice since then.
Justice Byron White was appointed by a Democratic President, but was conservative on many issues, including the death penalty and abortion.

At the rally in North Carolina Trump confirmed the nominee will be a woman. So no Thapar, Kethledge etc.
It needs to be a woman to avoid the fake rape allegations - a woman can't really do that to a guy after all. Sorry not sorry but she really can't.
Granted, it can and has happened but it's extremely rare.
Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next products.
"They will hurt you. They will hurt your grandma, these people. The root cause of this is there's no discipline in the homes, they don't go to school, you know, they live off the government, no personal accountability, and they just beat people up for no reason, and it's disgusting." - Former Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters
Get your guesses in before Trump reveals Ginsburg's successor.
I'm hitting on Amy Coney Barrett.
I can honestly see Justice Stephen Breyer leaving the Court in the very near future!

My money is on Barbra Lagoa she’s got it all and and good chunk of Hispanic (especially Cuban) voters will rally around her.
Lagoa went to Columbia while Barrett went to Notre Dame and Trump has said he likes the Ivy League schools, even though I think it would be nice to have more justices who didn’t go to one.
