I'm not sure how anti abortion Trump is though so that may impact his nominees.Response by SPC Kevin Ford made Nov 10 at 2016 1:27 PM2016-11-10T13:27:06-05:002016-11-10T13:27:06-05:00CPT Jack Durish2059290<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Excellent question.

<p class="pta-link-card-description">The judiciary is able to maintain its independence from the legislative and executive branches primarily by means of life tenure during good behavior. This independence makes it possible for the judiciary to declare laws unconstitutional. However, the power of judicial review does not make the courts superior to the other branches, which have an equal obligation to interpret and uphold the Constitution.</p>

We have no say in the matter. I still don't know when the Supreme Court became law makers instead of law keepers.Response by PO1 Jim Spencer made Nov 10 at 2016 1:48 PM2016-11-10T13:48:36-05:002016-11-10T13:48:36-05:00SFC Everett Oliver2059736<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have serious doubts that many if any court decisions will be reversed.... had Hillary won there would have been at least two reversed almost immediately after she got her judges seated... (Citizens United and Heller vs DC) But the constitution should be safe for now....Response by SFC Everett Oliver made Nov 10 at 2016 3:21 PM2016-11-10T15:21:16-05:002016-11-10T15:21:16-05:00Maj John Bell2060065<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'd much rather see some cases that start a re-interpretation of the General Welfare Clause and the Interstate Commerce Clause decisions from the 1st half of the 20th Century, first.Response by Maj John Bell made Nov 10 at 2016 5:18 PM2016-11-10T17:18:40-05:002016-11-10T17:18:40-05:00SPC Private RallyPoint Member2061330<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Trump isn't going to go after Roe v.

He will have to be very careful. Remember what happened when they had judge Warren selected. He went the opposite way. One woman on the court said she would resign if Trump was elected. Well, madam, he was elected.Response by SPC Douglas Bolton made Nov 17 at 2016 2:50 PM2016-11-17T14:50:38-05:002016-11-17T14:50:38-05:002016-11-10T13:20:21-05:00
