A funny from twitter: Dennis Miller ‏Verified account @DennisDMZ Jul 8 Just to keep things in perspective, or not, Trump could nominate either Amy Coney Barrett or Vladimir Putin tomorrow and the headlines would be exactly the same. #DennisMillerOption

That shouldn’t immediately disqualify him. Bush appointed Alito, too.

Kavanaugh is very solid on 2nd Amendment rights. In a time when 2A is under assault like never before I hope it is Kavanaugh

In follow-on litigation to the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on the Second Amendment in D.C. v. Heller, a D.C. Circuit panel majority, consisting of two Republican appointees, upheld the District of Columbia’s ban on possession of most semi-automatic rifles and its registration requirement for all guns in D.C. Judge Kavanaugh dissented (in Heller v. D.C. (2011)). An excerpt from his dissent:

In Heller, the Supreme Court held that handguns – the vast majority of which today are semi-automatic – are constitutionally protected because they have not traditionally been banned and are in common use by law-abiding citizens. There is no meaningful or persuasive constitutional distinction between semi-automatic handguns and semiautomatic rifles. Semi-automatic rifles, like semi-automatic handguns, have not traditionally been banned and are in common use by law-abiding citizens for self-defense in the home, hunting, and other lawful uses. Moreover, semiautomatic handguns are used in connection with violent crimes far more than semi-automatic rifles are. It follows from Heller’s protection of semi-automatic handguns that semi-automatic rifles are also constitutionally protected and that D.C.’s ban on them is unconstitutional. (By contrast, fully automatic weapons, also known as machine guns, have traditionally been banned and may continue to be banned after Heller.)

Like I said, if it was Hillary Clinton, the Democrats would still opposed because they’re anti-Trump,

He.could name Jesus Christ and fhey would still be opposed because they hate the President.

He couldn’t win them over no matter who he named to the Supreme Court.

I think it’s very likely Thomas retires next year. He might want to enjoy a retirement on the speaking circuit and replace himself with a younger conservative judge. 2019 is the best time to go. Before the controversy of election year and if god forbid Trump loses, he wouldn’t be potentially trapped waiting for another Republican administration.

Barrett is a very conservative Judge and would make a good replacement for Thomas. I don’t think you can count on RBG leaving the court. That woman hates Trump and will find a way to outlive his administration.

Darn. I fear we won’t be able to trust Kavanaugh if he’s the pick. Hope I’m wrong.

No doubt about that. Think of the nightmare scenario of Hillary having the possibility of choosing 4 Justices over her tenure.
