Roe v wade
I wonder why the author stopped at Kavanaugh and never even mentioned Amy Coney Barrett....
Hugh Hewitt’s interview …Pass.
The abortion decision was certainly a good one.
Beyond that some folks stray like Gorsuch on an issue or Kavanaugh on an issue along the way.
This analysis is fair, but none of them are strike-outs either.
They overturned Roe versus freakin’ Wade.
Let me repeat that.
They overturned Roe versus freakin’ Wade... something many of us thought we might never see in our lifetimes.
For Scotus appointments, Trump defeats all GOP predecessors for the last 75 years. Every damned one of them put a loser turn-coat on the court.
Ike gave us Brennan.
Nixon gave us Blackmun.
Ford gave us Stevens.
Reagan gave us O’Connor and Kennedy
Bush 41 gave us Souter
Bush 43 gave us Roberts.
Trump wins. Again.
Stupid article because they overturned Roe vs Wade.
Good article although I don’t know why they crapped out on the decisions of ACB. But Kavanaugh is terrible. Thomas is the gold standard. Alito is very good. The other gold standard was taken out by a pillow.
The Bushes nor any establishment Republican would have put judges on SCOTUS that overturned Roe. Overturning Roe is most consequential decision made by SCOTUS in more 60 years.
DeSnakis supported Trump’s nominees on his twitter account in glowing terms.
Kavanaugh was part of the coverup of Vincent Foster’s death.
Given the makeup of the senate, how much better could be done?
Is hh still on the radio???
I hate to be right about Kavenaugh but back in the day you all in here were fawning. I agree that in Trumps early presidency I wanted him to succeed getting his pick, but Kavenaugh was a bad guy. He lied to discredit the witness (who had to pee in the park that day) who clearly saw other cars than Vince Foster’s in the parking lot as well as sinister guys hanging around the car he saw. No one here seemed to give those facts much notice though they are in the depositions etc.
No Supreme Court pick is ever a home run.
Gorsuch was a good choice.
Kavanaugh was forced on him by Kennedy who would not retire if the choice was anybody but his protege’ Kavanaugh. In that case, a Democrat president might get to name Kennedy’s replacement and the risk was too great - so Trump agreed to appoint Kavanaugh.
The ONLY one he could be criticized for is ACB. She was the Turtle’s top choice and there is no doubt she is a huge improvement over Ruth Bader-Ginsburg. That said, she’s not great and yes, she and Kavanaugh did both lack the guts to hear the 2020 election cases.
Trump appointed one solid Strict Constructionist and two somewhat squishy constructionists. At least he didn’t appoint open and outright judicial activists which is more than can be said for Eisenhower or GHWB. Reagan did really well with Scalia but he also appointed the squishy Sandra Day O’Conner. Almost no Republican president has done as well with his judicial nominations as I’d like.
DeSantis should not have done this if he wants to be POTUS.
The only way DeSantis can be the R nominee is if Trump loses his ability to run due to a Jan 6th “insurrection” ruling that will surely go to the SCOTUS. Do you think the 6 conservative Justices will prefer DeSantis over the known Trump?
In a bizarre way, DeSantis really helped Trump with this dumb commentary.
We the people need to speak out against those "conservative" justices who rule as activists, instead of constitutionalist. Only then will they have have fear that their rulings may bring them down.
The President takes whatever the Senate gives him and McConnell picked those Judges.
