I dont have a good feeling about this due to his acceptance speech which was full of lib platatudes and the fact that the lib heads are NOT exploding on CNN.
“At times, he (Kavanaugh) has diverged from the Republican party’s ideological line on important cases that have come before him, including on the Affordable Care Act, the 2010 health care law which Kavanaugh has declined to strike down on a number of occasions in which it has come before him.”
A bushie?
Catholic charities?
Who is this priest that attended and what does he think?
Sounds chummy with Harvard and Georgetown lefties.
Kavanaugh will protect the constitution and that’s all that matters.
Thanks for posting this thread!
Thank you, Lord, for President Trump appointing Supreme Court Justices versus H. Clintoon.
If this man is half as good as Neil Gorsuch, we are blessed.
Kavenaugh has opined in previous cases in a manner in which he accepts, unequivecally, that a “precdedent” is the supreme law of the land. Yet how are precedents overturned? Some judges on a distcrict-appellate court, stronger than Kavenaugh apparently, must argue and decide in a manner that differs from a precedent, as is not only their right, but their Constitutional duty, if they see it that way.
I think Trump picked Kavenaugh BECAUSE he will not vote in the affirmative on a challenge to Roe before court - no matter how “Conservative” he is otherwise. I think Trump is seeking to protect his back end with the female vote in 2020, short cutting any repeal of Roe before then.
I trust Donald, but this guy looks and smells RINO/Deep State.
Not happy....not happy at all
If Ann’s ok with him I’m ok with him. Trust me if anybody can sniff out a liberal rat it’s her. And she’s still well connected in those circles I’m sure so if there were serious concerns about Kavanaugh believe me she’d be voicing them.
He’s getting through and the court will be solidified.
I’m going back over to DU. It’s just too much fun. Can we please get someone from the Young Turks to say on camera “Kavanaugh will NEVER be on the SC”? They are completely unhinged at DailyKOS and HuffPo as well - multiple browser tabs open. Seriously though, don’t come over unless you’ve had your shots and have strong abs to soak up all the Schadenfreude.
Nothing to do now but pray it turns out all right.
Baby murder is now dead.
Judge Barrett would of been defeated if she had been nominated tonight because in a 51-49 GOP senate there are at least a half dozen or so senators on our “side” that can’t be trusted. If we pick up 5-7 senate seats in November, which I think is possible, then I think Judge Barrett will be the next SC nominee when the next opening occurs! Don’t be so shortsighted. Look at the whole picture. I don’t trust Kavanaugh, but he may be the only one who can be confirmed right now!
Trump also gets to choose Kavanaughs replacement on DC Court of Appeals. Nice move Mr. President!
Not my first choice, but Trump vetted him and that’s good enough for me. Trump was an unknown commodity when I voted for him and he has exceeded my wildest expectations. If Trump was 1/2 as good as he’s been, I’d be ecstatic. He is rapidly climbing my list of best Presidents ever and he is only in year 2 (currently 1A). I will defer to him on this, and probably be pleasantly surprised.

Local news here in Texas just reported he says that Roe v. Wade is law and he will uphold it. I’m out.
