This is based on the outcome of some case, not the reasoning the went into it. It's not the outcome that matters but how he got there.
Did Trump actually say it was between Kethridge, Kannanaugh and Barrett?
I’m still thinking it’s Thapar.
“This is based on the outcome of some case, not the reasoning the went into it. It’s not the outcome that matters but how he got there.”
It is not “some case” it is many cases. The Bush administration was in favor of illegal immigrants. Kethledge was a Bush appointee.
Here is one example:
In Nguyen v. Holder Kethledge prevented the deportation of a criminal with a green card who, after lying about an earlier drug conviction on his citizenship application, committed grand theft auto. Kethledge agreed with Jimmy Carter-appointee and notoriously left-leaning Judge Gilbert Merritt that his conviction was not an “aggravated felony” mandating deportation.
Later, the Supreme Court addressed a very similar case involving residential burglary. Four justices relied on the very same Nguyen case. That law was struck down as unconstitutionally vague, allowing the convicted burglar to avoid deportation.
