Kasich to discuss Constitution, Supreme Court, at presidential campaign event in Myrtle Beach
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson will moderate a presidential forum featuring Ohio Gov. John Kasich next week that will focus on future Supreme Court nominees, protecting the Constitution and the rule of law.
The Conservative Leadership Project event will be at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Crown Reef Resort and Conference Center in Myrtle Beach.
The event is free and open to the public, and is part of the leadership project’s educational forums to examine presidential powers that would allow for the repeal of certain laws including Obamacare and Dodd-Frank, as well as EPA regulations and immigration laws.
The forum will also focus on future Supreme Court nominees, as the next president will likely make appointments to fill slots when four of the justices who were born in the 1930s begin to retire.
Kasich, a former congressman and chairman of the House Budget Committee, is popular with fiscal conservatives, but his campaign has not caught fire with the Republican Party base.
Kasich’s poll numbers are averaging three percent nationally, while in South Carolina his polling averages two percent, according to Real Clear Politics.
I've been arguing that America needs to assemble a coalition of our friends in Europe and our friends in the Middle East to destroy ISIS.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich
Kasich visited Myrtle Beach earlier this summer to campaign, and during a stop at Horry Georgetown Technical College he discussed international policy, U.S. relations with Israel, and what he described as a dysfunctional Congress.
Given the rare opportunity to run campaign commercials for free in several states including South Carolina, Kasich used that opportunity to focus his message on the threat of Islamist radicals.
“We all know now that the attacks we have seen in our country and across the ocean, are attacks on our way of life. They are not to be tolerated. There’s no room for negotiation. There’s no room for delay. I’ve been arguing that America needs to assemble a coalition of our friends in Europe and our friends in the Middle East to destroy ISIS. We destroy them in the name of humanity. And if we come together we will absolutely secure a better future for our country,” Kasich says in the commercial.
The commercial ran on NBC and was granted to all GOP presidential candidates as compensation for the free air time Donald Trump received when he appeared Nov. 7 on Saturday Night Live.
