Momentous Supreme Court rulings on guns, abortion cement Trump s impact on U.S. policy and culture | Just The News

The ignition points for those decisions can be traced to two fateful historical moments involving two men who don t always see eye to eye: Senate Leader Mitch McConnell s refusal to confirm President Barack Obama s nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court in 2016 and Trump s insistence that his third nominee, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, be confirmed before the 2020 election.

“I think history will show the biggest accomplishment of the Trump administration was putting in a conservative Supreme Court,” Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., told Just the News on Friday. “Now we have that and I know there are a lot of people all across America who are rejoicing today.

“You know, when you go back to not confirming Merrick Garland, I think Mitch McConnell deserves a lot of credit for that.

And then, with respect to making three good appointments to the Supreme Court, certainly, President Trump receives a lot of credit for that. So we were very fortunate, during the four years Trump was president, to be able to have three vacancies on the Supreme Court. And kudos to the Senate for being able to confirm those conservative justices in a in a four-year time period.

In the end, the three justices appointed by Trump Barrett, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh all voted to reverse Roe v. Wade.
