Sen. Mitt Romney has been wrong on judges, according to an op-ed in Townhall today. The conservative publication ran a piece from Mayor Trent that spelled out how he would have voted if he'd been Utah's senator for the last five years, rather than what Utahns have had to put up with under Romney. It reads:
Conservative judges are essential for conserving the republic. Recently, we’ve seen the value of such justices with Supreme Court rulings that protect individual liberties.
His main motivation doesn’t seem to be representing Utah, but begging for approval from the people who voted against him 11 years ago.
We are at a tenuous time in American history. On many issues, the court system is the last line of defense we have. The country cannot afford another six years of Sen. Romney voting the wrong way on judicial appointments, and it’s time to replace him.
