We have Elephants and Donkeys
On the continuum from Elephant to Donkey, where does Kangaroo fit?
“And it’s possible that the dirtiest, meanest, most reprehensible of all confirmation hearings may have made him even more hesitant to take on the most controversial issues of our time — particularly the kingpin of them all: abortion.”
Nope, the #1 issue is protecting the 2nd Amendment.
Tbis was not a court ruling, it was a procedural decision not to hear a case.
If people now think that Kavanaugh is too liberal, based on this one specific procedure,I’m speechless. Let’s see his opinions on actual cases. His lower court opinions were quite conservative weren’t they?
We all want states rights to be the law, right? Well, sometimes some states are going to rule in favor of left wing views. That’s the way the ball bounces sometimes, unfortunately.
I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but this website is filled with ‘effing morons.
There are no law schools that don’t teach the Elastic Constitution Theory. Any actual Originalists have to be self-educated and better obscure their opinions in careful language if they intend to move up as judges.
P.S. — Not YOU, of course. LOL.
I will wait a few more ruling’s to judge the situation. All of this is about him not using the case to make a ruling on the constitution. This Might of dealt with funding abortion but its constitutional issue had nothing to do with abortion. What would of been ruled on if it was taken up by the court was the constitutionality of the state banning the use of state money in a fedral program. the justices have to look at that issue if it is taken up not the morality of the abortion... Here is to hoping That this justice ends up not being a big disapointment
Yeah, that's where I'm at.
“Maybe Democrats Won On Brett Kavanaugh After All”
N absurd title that reminds me why I dont read conservative blogs anymore than I read leftist ones.
“If people now think that Kavanaugh is too liberal, based on this one specific procedure,I’m speechless. “
Dont be.
I learned in the past few years that our side has many stupid knee-jerkers as the other.
Roberts was never an originalist. I remember that he was called a “minimalist”, which meant that he liked narrow decisions. It didn’t say anything about his faithfulness to the Constitution.
Justice White wasn’t so bad. He was consistently against abortion. But he was an exception.
the GOP congress should have defunded Planned Parenthood
**************
The GOP congress could have done lots of things. But they didn’t. They’re not there for us; they’re there for themselves.
Sadly, we keep electing and re-electing these bums. They play us every election cycle. Maybe one day voters will start voting on the basis of results instead of lies. Maybe.
It may take some time to discern what his trajectory will be--an unreliable Kennedy or a trustworthy Alito. I do not see him as another Thomas. But then there will only be one Justice Thomas anyway.
The whole tactic wasn’t to derail his nomination (although they would have gladly accepted that). It was to neuter him for the future. That didn’t take long at all. Mission accomplished!
No. Everyone is running around with their hair on fire. The injunction is a preliminary. Justice Thomas is most likely correct. That does not mean the court will never take this up. Roberts (phew) and Kavanaugh maybe waiting to see what loser court does
Planned Parenthood was founded for the purpose of controlling poor/minority populations. The white people who run the GOP consider PP funding one of the best investments the U.S. government can ever make.
No need to give up on the guy just because of 1 decision we don’t like. He’ll still be much better than Kennedy.
