"
What?!?! Who says??"
You know who, Dr. Pritchett. ;-)
"...the authors suggest that the moral impossibility of enforcing capital punishment in such cases as sentencing, enforcing jury recommendations, and affirming are in fact reasons for not participating."
[Familyop smirks at the back of the class, craving attention and expecting that slightly scornful gaze from the instructor.]
Seriously, though, I'm trying to dig around for whatever information I can find on the remaining potential nominees: four of them, according to a rumor in judicial circles.
There's Judge Amul Thapar, too. So far, I haven't found any decisions, dissents or comments from him on the Second Amendment or other popular issues from voter or activist perspectives. I haven't done much searching on him, yet. He does appear to be tough on crime according to some cases on record. There might be more.
And there are Kavanaugh...
