Trump would allow Heritage Foundation to choose Supreme Court nominees

In other words, a far-right think tank headed by former South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint would have say over the process.

Heritage is a think tank known for its stridently conservative views and its unorthodox approach to mathematics. They oppose marriage equality, defend discriminationagainst LGBT Americans, and they have a surprisingly long history of reversing their own stances on health policy when doing so is useful to opponents of Obamacare. Their former chief “economist” is an ex-newspaper columnist and anti-tax activist withno doctorate in economics.

In 2013, Heritage released a widely criticized report claiming that immigration reform would cost an eye-popping $6.3 trillion. One of the co-authors of that report resigned four days later after news broke that “his graduate dissertation on immigration waspremised on the idea that Latinos were less intelligent than whites.” Heritage also released projections predicting that the Bush tax cuts would result in significant job growth.

    This is very similar to McConnell saying the NRA should be allowed to approve the nominee.

    The gop pols can’t think their way out of a wet paper bag so they need a “think tank” to inform them of their opinions. Basically they want to outsource all govm’t functions.

      True, but, their Think Tank is the tank on the bottom of the Outhouse.

    It was nice having a President for almost eight years now who is actually capable of doing the job and making decisions for himself.
    Are we sure PO can’t run for a third term?
