Trump calls for 'new justices' on Supreme Court after unfavorable rulings




Trump calls for 'new justices' on Supreme Court after unfavorable rulings
By Brett Samuels - 06/18/20 01:33 PM EDT


President Trump on Thursday escalated his criticism of the Supreme Court after a pair of rulings this week against his administration, calling for new justices to be appointed and pledging to release a new list of potential nominees ahead of November's election.

"The recent Supreme Court decisions, not only on DACA, Sanctuary Cities, Census, and others, tell you only one thing, we need NEW JUSTICES of the Supreme Court," Trump tweeted just hours after the court ruled against his move to rescind deportation protections for young undocumented immigrants.

"If the Radical Left Democrats assume power, your Second Amendment, Right to Life, Secure Borders, and Religious Liberty, among many other things, are OVER and GONE!" Trump added.


In a separate tweet, Trump said he would release a list of potential Supreme Court nominees by Sept. 1, similar to the one he published during the 2016 campaign that won over support of skeptical conservatives.

Joe will nominate GOOD people who care about the rule of law and the US Constitution.

Joe will nominate MORE women! We need more women on the Court. THAT would get Clarence Thomas and maybe Samuel Alito to retire. Good riddance to those 2.
