The author is full of himself.
The only thing that could make this article worth less, would be adding the word “sources” to “anonymous”.
Pass...
One could argue Congress has a compelling interest in outlawing abortion since the average baby murder will cost the Social Security system ~$200,000 in revenue.
Kavanaugh is an ancient name, and if he is anything like his ancestors, the left is in for a huge surprise.

Kavanaugh isn’t going to reverse Hobby Lobby.
I’m not Catholic, but the position of the Catholic Church and its institutions with regard to birth control products must be respected 100%.
A Muslim cab driver doesn’t have to drive someone to a liquor store either.
.... and Hillary’s pick would be the opposite.
Anonymous? Wasn’t that Larry David’s pseudonym?
The fact that this post has to be written anonymously tells you the kind of nasty campaign DC-types are running ogsinst Kavanaugh. Just an observation.
Over half of Kavanaugh clerks have been female.
Just because something is in the written record shouldn’t be held unmercifully against him.
I listened to Ben Shapiro and Glen Beck dissect the SCOTUS pick on the radio today. They were both okay with him. Shapiro commented that Kavanaugh wrote very narrow opinions that just dealt with the case and he did not legislate from the bench like liberals did. Was the law constitutional or not? That’s the question. Was it properly applied? If peripheral issues were involved but did not impact the case, he does not rule on them.
Now, having said that, Shapiro pointed out that justices who get to sit on the top court often expand their views. He pointed out that justices appointed by liberals never go conservative. Justices appointed by Republicans, however, are about 50/50 after they get onto the court. Both Beck and Shapiro thought Kavanaugh a good pick even if he wasn’t their first choice.
How so?
He cites actual cases and Kavaenaughs opinions in or on the cases he cites, and that case law is his source, there is nothing “anonympus” there.
I support Trump but I do not think he is G-d, perfect, and cannot error.
I have no desire to join knee-jerk reactions to all criticism of some choice or decision Trump makes; as so many do, with no analysis at all, as if someone MUST be wrong just because they don’t agree with Trump or a decision he’s made.
Why don’t you try explaining why you disagree with the author by your own expostion of the cases he presented and Kavanaugh’s role in them.
It’d be more interesting if the author had the guts to give his/her own name. Anonymous doesn’t cut it.
What a blowhard this author is.
Amen. Let be honest and have a discussion. So it’s anonymous, who cares? There was no ad hominem attacks on the man in the article.
I think Kavanaugh is a bit of a mixed bag. He looks like he’ll be good in preferring not to legislate from the bench. But he seems shakier on protecting/knocking down violations of our Constitutional rights. Yes, he seems good on the Second Amendment, but he also seems a little weak on the First and Fourth Amendments. I’m not sure how he is on the Tenth Amendment either, which was actually something that Kennedy was typically strongly on. That he didn’t see Obamacare as a violation of the Tenth Amendment and a federal overreach doesn’t look like a good sign in that regard. At least his record looks better than Kennedy’s overall.
Well, considering you are attacking a very intelligently written and argued analysis from a legal conservative dealing entirely with Kavanaugh’s own opinions, I’d say your ignorant comment was 100% definitely “horse shi!” But at least you had the guts to admit you didn’t read the article, unlike some of the commenters on this thread.
Think of what all those 5-4 decisions in the last term would have looked like if Hillary Clinton had decided who would replace Antonin Scalia.
Ugh...that alone made the election of Donald Trump a win.
