Religious liberty

Kavanaugh's opinion in a case involving a challenge under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act to the Affordable Care Act's so-called contraceptive mandate, Priests for Life v. HHS, has also drawn scrutiny. In a dissent, he expressed sympathy for the religious challengers. Making reference to the Supreme Court's ruling in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, he wrote that "the regulations substantially burden the religious organizations' exercise of religion because the regulations require the organizations to take an action contrary to their sincere religious beliefs."

In a line that has attracted some conservative criticism, however, Kavanaugh also wrote in his dissent that Supreme Court precedent "strongly suggests that the government has a compelling interest in facilitating access to contraception for the employees of these religious organizations."

You would need context to understand why he said this.

An originalist could certainly make the above observation -- and then go on to explain that it is not in keeping with the limited government laid out in the Constitution, and so precedent needs to go out the window.

Yup. According to uncle burn-me and brilliant minds such as rob rhiner, nancy snotra, the country is doomed if this right wing extremist, klansman, hater, white supremancist gets the nod to be on the supreme court. If they are losing their collective minds over this, PDJT did a good job.

None of that matters. What matters is that he interprets laws as written, and/or decides on their constitutionality. F*ck cnn.

sparked alarm among abortion rights activists that Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion nationwide in 1973, could be over turned

There is nothing anywhere in the Constitution that supports the murder of the unborn. The is nothing in an writings or deliberations of the Founders that would indicate they would have ever considered the murder of the unborn a right! It was simply a political gesture by incompetent jurists!

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Unless you are still inside your mothers womb! Then under our current laws you do not have a right to life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness!

I've read about a lot of concern in regards to Kavanaugh's rulings. Several were touched on here.

In each case, he ruled the way I would want him to. I have no concerns...yet.
