Just like with talking head shows, the Left’s idea of balance is a large majority of dyed in the wool progressives, a moderate and maybe a moderate claiming to be a conservative.
The nattering flapdoodles of the Left know nothing of balance ... or of honoring oaths of office.
That’s because they are the imbalance personified.
Trouble is, NONE of the American NEWS MEDIA are main stream!
Lol! You are right on.
Washington Compost. Predictable editorial.
The funny thing is that the Court has been an instrument of politics ever since FDR first convinced five of their number to screw over the American people, their oaths of office, and even the very nature of the sort of Republic we’d been up until that point.
All for Arbitrary governance.
And by “to the right” WaPo means “back from the precipice of Bolshevism.”
In a word: “YES”!
Where was the ComPost editorial board during all of the rampant abuses of power by the Obama Admin? >>crickets<<
They were going ti hate and attack ANYONE, far worse than they did Bork, no matter WHO it was. If Trump had picked a far lefty, they would have called him or her a NAZI and KKKer.
I’m sure this was written days ago.
The SCOTUS is not Congress.
The court is not a mini constitutional convention or a group of nine un-elected super legislatures.
SCOTUS job is to interpret law as written. Period.
This “fight” is nothing more than George Soros puppets with turn this country socialist orders.
The left is waging a political battle for an institution that is at its core non-political to turn it against us.
confirm. confirm. confirm.
Nah. They would have pretended to oppose and let them pass, like they did with Souter and Rosenstein.
BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!...The only job of the SC is to “INTERPERT” the Constitution...not alter it!.....That job belongs to the Citizens and the Politicians they elect.......The Founding Fathers had to be divinely inspired...
HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! What a giant steaming load from the WaPo. Gee, it wasn’t a partisan tool/plaything/battleground when Kennedy and Biden spewed all kinds of hateful crap about Robert Bork who was extremely highly qualified huh? It wasn’t that again when Kennedy tried to gin up a BS sexual harassment claim against Clarence Thomas huh? It wasn’t again when Harry Reid invoked the nuclear option to ram a nominee through just casting aside over 200 years of tradition in the Senate. Oh no, it was all just those mean ole Republicans preventing Obama’s nominee from coming up for a vote. THAT’s when it got “political”.
Everything is fair when the Democrats do it see?
They just have sheer hate.
A generation ago, a judge like Kavanaugh would have been considered mainstream.
Now he’s viewed by the Leftist as “extremist” because their definition of what’s mainstream has changed.
We can’t have a serious discussion about judicial philosophy and the law because it’s controversial to liberals.
They are the ones, all protestations aside, who want a politicized judiciary.
Conservatives seek to safeguard its independence.
Obviously the WaPo had this editorial pre-written. I’d like to read their other pre-written editorials on the other candidates.
This craziness is even MORE nuts than at ANY other time in this nation's history.
IMO a good & solid choice, now that I know more about him.
I saw an Axios chart where they rank Judge Kavanaugh to the right of Gorsuch and just left of Thomas (who was the right-most you could get). Compare that to ‘swing’ Judge Kennedy, and the court has potentially made a HUGE change to the conservative right.
Just imagine a President Hillary nominating Loretta Lynch say to the bench. What a miracle that we were saved from that!
