TUPELO, Miss.—The American Family Association (AFA, www.afa.net) has sent an important letter to President Donald Trump on the nomination of the next Supreme Court Justice.
“Thank you for nominating Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court of the United States,” writes AFA President Tim Wildmon. “His record thus far is a great indicator that he will be a blessing to this nation and to your legacy for decades to come. The retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy provides you with the historic opportunity to place a fifth constitutionalist on the Supreme Court and to secure a constitutional majority for the first time in decades. Accordingly, we believe that your nomination of the next Supreme Court Justice is one of the most important decisions of your presidency.
“Therefore, we prayerfully, strongly and humbly implore you to select the nominee with a demonstrably constitutional judicial philosophy and a verifiably strong will against political pressure,” Wildmon continued. “Moreover, we encourage you to reject any nominee who is merely ‘good,’ but to nominate only the best.”
AFA added that the pro-family organization is convinced that the best nominee on the president’s list of 25 prospects is Judge Amy Coney Barrett, for eight reasons:
“President Trump,” AFA continued, “you have the historic opportunity to reverse a 50-year trend and bring a constitutional renaissance to the Supreme Court, the entire federal judiciary and, hence, the nation. No president has ever accomplished this feat. Accordingly, your nomination of the next Supreme Court Justice may be the most important decision of your presidency and will define your legacy for generations to come. We pray for you without ceasing and pledge to work tirelessly for Judge Barrett’s historic confirmation to the United States Supreme Court.”
