What if Kavanaugh turns out to be another ‘Justice’ Roberts?

As matters know stand, it wouldn’t matter a whit if Justice Roberts had two votes and Kavanaugh none - we hope.

At any given time someone (or two) justice(s) dominate the court by being the only persuadables. That was Justice Kennedy, after O’Connor retired. While O’Connor was on the Court, we had to hope that both O’Connor and Kennedy went the right way - and if either one of them didn’t, the decision would be wrong.

As matters now stand, Roberts is now the Democrats’ hope. If Kavanaugh is “another Roberts” like Kennedy was “another O’Connor,” I agree that will be worse - but at least we can hope that neither Kavanaugh nor Roberts comes to be “another O’Connor” - or Kennedy.

The next big test is Nov. 6; if the Senate improves then we’ll have good hope for a sound Court if one of the Dem-nominated justices leaves SCOTUS. And we could then look with equanimity on the prospective retirement of Thomas. If not, we’d have to hope to be able to hold or expand our lead in the 2020 cohort of Senators. Not as easy a task as gaining ground now. Republicans won’t have nearly as good a chance again for another 6 years.

No. He will remember what the Democrats did to him in every Leftist signature issue that comes before the court. Democrats guaranteed that he will always vote against them.
