I don’t have a ton of confidence that he’s going to be like Thomas or Scalia. He’ll follow the law and follow precedent, and probably vote with the conservatives in contested cases. That’s fine for how. Swapping out RBG with Amy Barrett will be when things really start to shift, but I think Kavanaugh was the right choice for now. He united the Republican Party going into the midterms.

He’s not an originalist, he’s a precedentist.
He will uphold precedent, even when it’s wrong.
Roe v Wade is in no danger of being over turned.

On the bright side, Heller and McDonald will be upheld.

Amy Barrett is OK on abortion and some social issues. However I don't trust her to follow an originalist philosophy. She brings to the table the mom with trendy and fashionably politically correct "fambly". I suspect on many issues she will caucus with "the girls". You know, "for the children".

It perfectly demonstrated the heart of the Demon party where any dissent must be attacked with hysterical force.

Now that they have done this with even a questionable nomination any others will just show this even more. They should remember The Bow Who Cried Wolf.

> I think Kavanaugh was the right choice for now

I speculate that, in part, he was nominated precisely because his history working with Ken Starr would surely evoke a disproportionately wrathful response from Hillary and her surrogates. Such unhinged insanity was turned against the Democrats, as we have seen.
