Topics
Donald Trump: 我最初听从建议使用了联邦党人学会来推荐法官，但后来意识到他们受到了Leonard Leo的影响，他是一个我认为可能不爱美国且有个人野心的人。我认为总统必须被允许保护美国免受经济和金融上的伤害。 David French: 作为前联邦党人学会成员，我认为特朗普与联邦党人学会的决裂在2020年后变得明显。学会的法官们，即使是共和党任命的，也常常根据法律原则而非个人忠诚来做出裁决，这让习惯于政治上唯命是从的特朗普感到困惑。我认为特朗普对国际贸易法院驳回他的关税政策感到特别愤怒，这促使他公开抨击Leonard Leo和联邦党人学会。我认为特朗普未来可能会倾向于任命更忠于他的MAGA法官，这可能会影响资深法官的退休决定。我认为保守派法律运动现在已经分裂，就像共和党世界一样。我认为Leonard Leo所说的“好法官”指的是诚实的原旨主义者，而不是特朗普的忠实拥护者。我认为特朗普根本没有意识到这一点。
