2020 MN Senatorial race: on Principles & Values


Jason Lewis: Appoint Constitutional conservatives to the courts

Lewis released the following statement on the Supreme Court's ruling blocking President Donald Trump's rollback of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. "Liberal activist judges on the Supreme Court ruled that Trump may not reverse what Obama himself admitted he had no power to do. This is judicial activism, plain and simple, and something I look forward to tackling when I'm in the Senate by appointing Constitutional conservatives to the courts."
