That’s what he says alright.

Sorry, he tosses his nothingness around on too many important issues.

At one time I like both his dad and him.

Long ago. Too many demands that were just for show > IMO.

It’s so hard to herd folks in Congress, and he pulls this routine all too often.

Thanks for your perspective on it.

>>I don’t care who it is, as long as he or she clerked with Scalia. They learn everything they know from the justice they clerk for.<<

A very inaccurate observation because you are incorrectly assuming that all clerks become clones of the Justices they serve when it’s entirely possible the some clerks are, on philosophical grounds, opposed to their jurisprudence.

Maybe, but I’m of the opinion that most young people, not long out of Law school, just entering a coveted position, with a brilliant jurist, are going to be strongly influenced by being, in essence, mentored by that jurist.

And everyone should be damned glad he doesn’t want a possible david souter on the bench.

Given more than decade of mostly conservative rulings on his appeals court, there is no chance Kavanaugh will be another David Souter.

The worst he'd be is John Roberts.

Well, now that Kavanaugh has been nominated, we’ll see if Paul follows through.
