that Trump's list of potential Supreme Court nominees played a big factor in his decision.

"At the end of the day, it is clear to me that we have somebody who is a willing partner in advancing these things," he said. "Hillary Clinton will go in the opposite direction."

The saga surrounding whether Ryan would endorse Trump began nearly a month ago, when he told CNN's Jake Tapper that he was not yet ready to endorse after Trump cleared the field following a big win in the Indiana primary. He announced his support for Trump in an op-ed published in his hometown Wisconsin newspaper, The Gazette, on Thursday.

"We're different people," Ryan said. "We have a different tone, a different style, that's very clear. But what matters to me is thea blank check for the President when it comes to the rights of the Nation's citizens." Id. at 535, 124 S.Ct. 2633. Although the courts should defer to the coordinate branches of government with respect to the "core strategic matters of warmaking . . . [w]hatever power the United States Constitution envisions for the Executive in its exchanges with other nations or with enemy organizations in times of conflict, it most assuredly envisions a role for all three branches when individual liberties are at stake." Id. at 535, 537, 124 S.Ct. 2633.
