Future at stake

Posted October 22, 2016 2:00 pm

He's not everything I want in a President but here is why I'm voting for Donald Trump. The Supreme Court and The Constitution. In recent years, our freedoms have begun eroding as judges decide cases based on their political views rather than on strict interpretation and application of the Constitution as originally written.

Over the next four years there will probably be more than one opportunity to nominate Supreme Court justices and Hillary Clinton will follow in the left-leaning footsteps of Obama if she is elected.

Justice is supposed to be blind to politics and special interests. If we want our country and its Constitution to maintain the freedoms we all depend on, including religious freedom, Trump must be elected as he will nominate strict constructionist jurists in the mold of the late Justice Scalia.

The future of this great nation is at stake.
