| Subject: Trump and Clinton both wrong on rule of law Sun Oct 23, 2016 6:50 pm | |
| Right off thE bat, moderator Chris Wallace asked Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump: “What’s your view on how the Constitution should be interpreted?”
Right off the bat, Clinton and Trump gave the wrong answers.
Clinton announced that the Supreme Court needs to “stand on the side of the American people,” and then rattled off a checklist of political causes and positions she expects the court to endorse: “women’s rights . . . rights of the LGBT community. . . no to Citizens United. . . not reverse marriage equality. . . not reverse Roe v. Wade.” There was nothing in her answer about how the Constitution should be interpreted, because constitutional interpretation is of no importance to her campaign. What matters to Clinton is that the court deliver the results favored by her most ardent supporters (“I will defend Planned Parenthood. I will defend Roe v. Wade”).
Trump was no better.
Characteristically, his first words were about not what he thinks of the Supreme Court, but what the Supreme Court thinks of him. “Recently, Justice Ginsburg made some very inappropriate statements toward me and toward. . . many millions of people that I represent, and she was forced to apologize.” Then he, too, moved to stroke his base: “The justices that I’m going to appoint will be pro-life. They will have a conservative bent. They will be protecting the Second Amendment.”
