Woodard letter: Supreme Court nominees

As a Christian, I am deeply concerned about the presidential election. I want our nation to be restored to its former position in the world. But what weighs on my mind is that our next president will select two-three Supreme Court justices who will influence a number of legal issues and set the tone for racial and religious protection for my children and their children. I shudder at the thought of Supreme Court nominees to be offered by Hillary Clinton. Trump has advised the nation of his excellent slate of potential nominees. More is at stake than just the office of the president.
