Kelly Shackelford, the president of First Liberty Institute, said there are few issues of greater importance in the upcoming election than that of potential nominations to the Supreme Court of the United States.
“President Trump’s record on judicial nominations during his first term has been nothing short of astounding, with a record number of judges dedicated to originalist Constitutional principles nominated and confirmed to the federal judiciary,” Shackelford told the Todd Starnes Radio Show. “His list today continues to fulfill his promise to nominate excellent judges who are committed to protecting the freedom of all Americans.”
Alliance Defending Freedom President Michael Farris also praised the president’s picks.
“Any judge or justice should interpret the Constitution faithfully, which means protecting the right to life and the right to peacefully speak, live, and work consistent with one’s religious beliefs,” Farris said. “The president has promised to appoint justices committed to doing just that. ADF supports that effort.”
