Judge Brett Kavanaugh sits on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Several news articles, including those here, here, and here, mention him as a leading contender to be nominated by President Donald Trump to replace retiring justice Anthony Kennedy on the United States Supreme Court.
The nomination of Kavanaugh would be ironic, given candidate Trump's disparaging comment about a death investigation in which Kavanaugh played a major role. On July 20, 1993, Hillary Clinton's former law partner, and then deputy White House counsel for President Bill Clinton, Vincent Foster, was found dead in Virginia's Fort Marcy Park. The official U.S. government conclusion is that Foster committed suicide in the park. In May of 2016, candidate Trump stated that the circumstances of the death were "very fishy." At the 2004 confirmation hearing for Kavanaugh, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) stated: "Mr. Kavanaugh served in the Office of Independent Counsel under Judge Starr, where he conducted the office's investigation into the death of former Deputy White House Counsel Vincent W. Foster, Jr." A 1998 New York Times article also states that Kavanaugh "led the investigation into the death of the deputy White House counsel Vincent W. Foster Jr."
Before Trump makes his decision, he should speak with Miguel Rodriguez, who was an assistant United States attorney in Sacramento, California when he was selected to lead the Foster death investigation for Kenneth Starr's Office of Independent Counsel for a time in the mid-1990s. I wrote about Rodriguez in my AT article in May of 2016 discussing the Foster case and my Freedom of Information Act lawsuit to force public disclosure of photographs of Foster's deceased body taken at the park.

Kethledge!!
Despite his generally conservative record of decisions on the bench, three sources familiar with Kethledge’s reasoning and judicial philosophy have raised concerns with Breitbart News over his tendency, not unlike his one-time boss Justice Kennedy, to resort to sweeping moral judgment, rather than constitutionally-mandated restraint, in reaching his opinions.
Vince Foster did not kill himself.
A Supreme Court Judge appointee should certainly not think he did.
Kavanaugh is a head fake
Are you questioning that .22 caliber bullet hole behind Vince’s ear???
Yes.
Hold on, someone at the door.
Kavanaugh would be a bitter disappointment to most conservatives. Sure Trump is being surrounded by advisors who are claiming that he can be confirmed with such a slim edge in the Senate. He is probably being told that after the election and the projected gain of 2-4 Senate seats, he will then have “better options”. Hopefully he is willing to fight hard now and not make a philosophical compromise.
There was a previous thread on this, I think.
Trump is not a Conservative.
He’s an anti-liberal.
Works for us today, maybe not so much tomorrow.
Creatures from the Swamp
Good to see allan connecting the dots .......once again
I remember G. Gordon Liddy, an experienced investigator, commenting on this. He wasn’t sure if Foster killed himself or was murdered. What he was sure about though was that it DID NOT HAPPEN in Ft. Marcy Park.
I’ll tell you what.
Some “conservatives” have been selling out America for the entire last generation.
Who the heck wants a “conservative” president, who doesn’t have the right values?
We need an AMERICAN.
First. Above all. In all matters.
Every day.
Always.
THAT is what we need. We do not need “conservatives” who are ready to sell our country out.
Not at all.
Oh no, no, you misunderstand. Sorry.
He was just explaining that Trump....in his opinion....was not a “Conservative”.....and that he was in fact, an “anti-liberal”.
And that there is a difference.
Works now. Might not work later.
And that’s just what he said. I’m no damn subscriber.
LOL
Looks like I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue.
Trump is more conservative than anyone since Reagan.
Maybe more than Reagan by the time he’s done.
Sorry myself.
Thanks.
Sorry myself.
Thanks.
I may have crossed threads.
Adult beverages, it’s what’s for dinner.
Love you.
