Lisa Hawkins: Supreme Court enough reason to vote for Trump

I am voting for the appointee to the Supreme Court that will be made by our next president. With the aging Supreme Court justices there could be as many as four appointments made by this next leader. With the average time served being 26 years, it will affect our country for many years to come.

I am voting for someone who holds the Constitution as a cornerstone for decisions, most directly protecting our 1st Amendment right of religious freedoms and the 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms, both of which are under siege by the Democratic candidate.

I am voting to stop illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds from coming into our country. I am voting to restore our military powers with the proper resources needed and back them in times of conflict.

The Republican candidate is far from a perfect man, as were many others before him. It is clear the other candidate has broken the law many times and has used her political career to become wealthy, taken money from foreign leaders for what “quid pro quo” we do not know.

There has never been a more important election. Government of the people, by the people, for the people.
