(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton issued the following statement in response to President Trump’s nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court:
President Trump hit a home run with his nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. President Trump stood up for the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law with this nomination. Judge Kavanaugh has a demonstrated record of applying the rule of law rather than legislating from the bench. His record shows Judge Kavanaugh will apply the U.S. Constitution as written and intended by our Founding Fathers.
This nomination is a great victory for constitutional government and a blow to politicized decision-making on the Supreme Court. We have too many politicians as it is in DC, we certainly don’t need any more on the Supreme Court. Most Americans agree with Judge Kavanaugh that the Supreme Court should apply the law as it is written and leave the legislating to the people’s elected representatives in Congress.
And the U.S. Senate should move quickly to work with President Trump to consider and approve Judge Kavanaugh. There is not much radical liberals can do to stop this excellent Supreme Court pick. We expect to see leftist smears, religious bigotry, more threats of violence, etc. but the votes are there for Judge Kavanaugh to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
I am 100% behind this and will be unless this guy pulls a a Souter. I am very hopeful he won’t.
Off the Wall Ping!

“The votes are there”...
Dear God I hope so.
Bump!
WOW! This is ringing endorsement from an organization I personally consider to be THE premier government watchdog!
I respect Judicial Watch and Tom Fitton.
I just wonder what dirty tricks the Dems will pull? Another Anita Hill maybe?
I wouldn’t call it a Home Run, but it’s definitely a gapper to the deepest part of the field.
On to Breyer, Ginsburg and Sotomayor.
If Tom thinks he’s a good choice, he very likely is.
Thanks for posting this article of sanity!
No analysis. The article is just applause. Who needs it?

Seems to me Judicial Watch has achieved a credibility under Tom Fitton that was out of reach under the guidance of its founder Larry Klayman.
But, Larry Klayman is against this nomination.
Judge Brett Kavanaugh should make a good jurist. He’s got a long, consistent track record of 300+ decisions. He’s not a idealogue. I suspect what we see is what we get. He’ll evolve, everyone does, but he’s very clear on not creating law from the bench.
President Donald Trump announced the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to fill the vacancy of Justice Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Judge Kavanaugh is simply the wrong nominee-even a bad nominee. Based on his written opinions, Judge Kavanaugh has demonstrated a deficiency in a constitutional judicial philosophy of a limited judiciary. Some of his decisions may have been favorable, but several of his opinions about those decisions contain problematic language.
Urge your senators to oppose the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Although Judge Kavanaugh decided correctly in court case Priests for Life v. U.S. Dep't of Health & Human Services, he wrote a moderate opinion disagreeing with the Priests on a foundational constitutional religious liberty principle.
As a result of Obamacare, the faith-based organization Priests for Life and others argued that the government could not compel or force them to provide contraception and abortion causing drugs for their employees. Judge Kavanaugh unnecessarily conceded in his opinion that the government has a compelling interest to force religious organizations to provide contraceptives and abortifacients for employees. Kavanaugh's concession created a dangerous precedent.
There are also concerns with his opinion related to illegal alien female minors who are expecting but also seeking an abortion in the United States. Other concerns relate to his writings on Obamacare. It’s been argued that Judge Kavanaugh provided the roadmap to uphold the Obama Administration’s healthcare overreach at the Supreme Court. Judge Kavanaugh is said to provide the legal argument for Chief Justice to save Obamacare by calling the mandatory insurance a tax.
Judge Kavanaugh's reasoning on religious liberty, Obamacare and issues concerning life have proven to be of major concern. For these reasons and more, urge your senators to firmly oppose the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh as a Justice on the United States Supreme Court.
