News Today: Donald Trump said he wants to appoint more conservative Supreme Court Justices during a speech on Friday, commenting: "Let's have seven or eight or maybe even nine." The former president's remarks follow a string of Supreme Court rulings this week which have outraged many progressives, including judgments blocking President Biden's student debt relief plan and ending affirmative action in college education. During Trump's presidency, he was able to appoint three Supreme Court justices, dramatically altering the court's ideological composition. Trump is currently running for the 2024 Republican Party nomination with polling giving him a commanding lead over Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is in second place. If reelected to the White House, he may have the chance to appoint additional justices, if incumbents retire or die, with the Supreme Court currently housing six justices appointed by Republican presidents, and three by their Democratic counterparts. Is it a good idea for Trump to add more Supreme Court Justices? Reply and Let Us Know |
