Trump Says He Will Delegate Supreme Court Appointments To The Heritage Foundation (Jim DeMint)
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, in an apparent bid to placate conservativeswho fear that he could appoint an insufficiently ideological justice if elected president, plans to release a list of 5-10 names sometime in the next week. He says that, if given the opportunity to name a Supreme Court justice, he will limit his selection to the names on that list.
At a press conference on Monday, Trump also revealed an unusual detail about how he is determining which names should be on the list. “Heritage Foundation and others are working on” the list,” according to Trump.
Heritage is a think tank known for its stridently conservative views and its unorthodox approach to mathematics. They
oppose marriage equality,
defend discrimination against 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 with
no doctorate in economics.
In 2015 Drumpf dropped (was pushed) out of a Heritage foundation event.
Now they are embracing the Birther.
