Judge Napolitano meets with Trump for 2nd time to discuss Supreme Court

[euphemia]

Trump is an educated man. My guess is the judge would not have accepted another invitation if the first meeting did not go well.

 

[Peace&Freedom]

Trump had two meetings with several people (e.g., Tillerson) whom he then went on to hire. Nap is now in that company, so let's see what happens.

Wonder if Hillary or Jeb would be talking to Napolitano about court nominations?

Talk is cheap, the question is whether any of this talk is going to amount to anything. Remember he also had 2 long talks with Romney but nothing came off it.

I doubt this is anything other than a photo op to the liberty wing of american politics but just like the elections, I hope that I am wrong again.

 

[TER]

The fact that he had another meeting with Judge Napolitano is a great thing which I frankly never thought I would see if you asked me a year ago.

Every true Patriot would agree that the Judge is a defender of our rights.

That Trump sees this and acknowledges it is a great thing for our rule of Law in this country

Do I think he will nominate him for the Supreme Court? No.

But Trump has continued to surprise me, so who knows.

Judge nap in the Supreme Court and I start to believe in MAGA because that would be a awesome step in the right direction.

Not getting my hopes up, just watching and waiting.

 

[unknown]

Holy fucking shit if true.

ETA:

The Judge didnt answer whether he was on the list.

Nor does he appear on the list:

Its still nice to know that Trump is turning to the Judge for advice, awesome actually, but it doesnt seem like the Judge will be nominated.

 

[Origanalist]

True that. I wonder how many times Hillary would've invited the Judge for a conversation, and if so, would he have walked out of the building or been carried out?

 

[Origanalist]

I watched the video. I must say it sounds really encouraging. Even commented saying just that. Maybe Trump will continue to look to the Judge for advice, in fact I wouldn't be surprised at all. But IMO he won't nominate him.

SCOTUS really is the main thing as far as what I'm personally interested in changing. So this is particularly encouraging.

It's was probably one of the greatest reasons to vote for Trump.

The alternative was horrifying.

Yeah. I suppose you're right. As it is, I'm enthusiastically curious about some of Trump's moves thus far.

That dude might turn out to be another Reagan before it's said and done. Executively speaking.

Now let me get out of here before I get pelted with fruit.

Judge Nap is an AnCap. I hope he introduced Trump to some hard core libertarianism and didn't sidestep the important topics.

Not Holding My Breath

As much as folks here can't say enough bad about Trump, I am impressed that he has surrounded himself with wise, liberty-minded people. To call Judge Napolitano for another meeting is intriguing.

If Donald Trump selects Judge Napolitano as the next Supreme Court Justice, then I'll...nah, it'll never happen. Trump is too much of an authoritarian to nominate a judge like Napolitano.

 

[euphemia]

I don't think anyone knows what kind of President Trump will turn out to be. So far, he has neither surprised nor disappointed me.

We're seeing things the same, I'm inclined to think he's going to be quite a bit like Reagan.

 

[osan]

As far as it went, not bad. If things work out even half as good as appearances, we would be in a far better place than we are now.

I will believe it when I see it.

One thing he mentioned that holds great promise was the bit about regulatory agencies. They should have no policy making power, nor that to judge, enforce, or "punish", as the good judge put it. If we are to have such agencies, and I say we should not, their sole tasks should be to monitor, gather evidence, and present cases to courts for further action. This having vested them with judge prosecutor and jury powers was an error of truly epic stoogery.

I would add this: any agency found to have mis-constructed a case against any party, whether corporate or individual, would have the responsible parties see the inside of the military barracks for not one minute less than ten years, hard labor. In any such case, the head of the agency is automatically sent to the barracks no matter what the circumstance. I would all this the "buck stops here doctrine". Most specifically, I would place in this immediate peril anyone or group who kept exculpatory evidence from the view of grand juries, prosecutors, etc. Anyone knowing of such evidence and not coming forward: barracks. I would put the terror of a minimum of a decade of turning large rocks into small, rain or shine, into every government official from sea to shining sea.

Want to collect your cushy government salary w/bennies and pension? Fine. But you will do it without injustice to your fellow men, or you will pay with your life in a manner far less pleasant than a firing squad.

Enough already.

Not sure how to take this. I have no love of Reagan. At times he talked a good game, but didn't do much to walk it. "Smaller government... smaller government..." as government inflated to unprecedented proportions on a daily basis before our eyes. IMO, the best thing he ever did was to fire all the air traffic controllers when they went on strike. Kudos where due.

Also, Trump's style is fundamentally different from that of Reagan. He addresses issues in a way that puts the hallowed Ronbo to some paleness. I will go way out on a limb here and predict that Trump will be no milquetoast president in the manner of an Obama. He will either prove really good, or very lousy, on the net. Here's to hoping for the former.

orly?

When nap is scotus and not some big ticket corporate liability defence lawyer... I'll believe it.
