Unfortunately he is against euthanasia, which needless to say in a democracy should obviously be a personal choice and not something attracting criminal charges and punishments.

His advocating for laws that effectively criminalise millions of people's free choice to retire from life early because of painful and distressing illness is quite definitely an abuse of people's personal freedom to chose how they want their life to end.

For this reason I can't support him as a good choice by Trump.

As long as he's an extremely strong supporter of the Peoples Second Amendment Rights, he gets my nod....being Conservative covers all the rest. Don't want any Progressives anywhere near the Supreme Court.....strict Constitutionalists, believing solely on the Framers Intent, should be the basis for choosing a SC justice. If I had a preference though I'd go to Judge William H. Pryor Jr.

If they could, I'm sure they would like to, but since the dEMOCRATS changed the law requiring only a simple majority vote to approve a Presidential SCOTUS appointment, they really don't have that option anymore (the Senate is in strong Republican control).....sort of like it came back to bite 'em in the ass....innit.
