President Donald J. Trump's Supreme Court Associate Justice Kavanaugh


Recommended Posts

Looks like it's down to three...

Trump's top contenders for the vacancy at this time are federal appeals judges Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh and Raymond Kethledge, said a person familiar with Trump's thinking who was not authorized to speak publicly.

 

Kavanaugh will have trouble with some of the Conservative Republicans. Sen. Cruz has already said he'd vote against him.

Kavanaugh would be a terrible pick for libertarians and conservatives.  I think he's more than likely to "turn Kennedy" once seated.

 

Kethledge is being touted as an Origionalist, though he's nothing of the sort.

 

Amy Coney Barrett is an Origionalist, and a person of faith; and would torture leftists who would be forced to read opinions they deem to be "anti-woman" by fiat, written in a woman's own hand.

 

She would be a fantastic choice.

It would be interesting to watch the media explain how a woman would overturn roe v wade and it being anti woman

I'm not terribly fond of Kethledge.  Kavanaugh could go either way.  

 

Barrett is as close to a sure thing that conservatives can get with the three "front-runners" named in the article.  There are knocks on her: lesser pedigree in ND Law school, member of a fringe ecumenical Christian group, little experience as a judge (which generally means less predictability for future rulings).  Clerking for Scalia helps ease worries, as do several writings of hers outside of her time on the bench.

Is this like the Republican Hispanic representative who was not allowed to join the Congressional Hispanic Caucus because he was a Republican?

Chuck Shumur: Donald Trump is literally satan.

 

Also Chuck Shumur: Mr. President let me show you how to keep your reputation nice!

 

"Tapping into Trump's understanding of the importance of the choice, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told the president this week that nominating someone hostile to abortion access, or the 2010 health care law, would tarnish his legacy."

It's really amusing to hear life-long pols talk down to a President who has a much broader set of experiences and successes than do they.  Chucky doesn't realize that in the ladder of American life, he's scum, a bottom feeder and one that is looked down upon by most "regular people".

But...he didn't build that, somebody else made it happen.
