most places in the mideast that have a hard time moving forward have a big problem. cops, nobody the trusts the judges. they act in a very limited way, and most people feel the only way you can represent your interests is through armed groups. imagine what america would be like if we did not trust the courtroom. we may not like the outcome, but look at the bush v gore. decision in the supreme court, and power was transferred peacefully. that is worth protecting. so what am i going to do is judiciary chairman? i am going to make sure we can appoint as many well-qualified conservatives on trump's watch as possible. and the key is "well-qualified." i will not let the aba veto what happens, but i do care about what they think. when it comes to judges, younger is better than older. when it comes to judges, well-qualified is better than not well-qualified. i have been a lawyer most of my adult life, and there are people -- and in every state, there are people we can find that are well-qualified and that can serve for a while. pay. if you're in your 40's or early 50's, doin
