Kavanaugh would be attractive to conservatives because of positions he took on two hot-button issues: gun rights and abortion. Kavanaugh dissented when the appeals court rejected a challenge to a Washington, D.C., ban on assault weapons enacted after the Supreme Court found an individual right to own guns under the Second Amendment. Kavanaugh also dissented when the full D.C. Circuit required the U.S. government to allow an abortion for a 17-year-old immigrant who was being held in a shelter because she is in the country illegally.

After seeing the push here for Amy Coney/Barrett, my question is this. Why do FR Catholics tend to push women so hard for government positions? Kavanaugh is Catholic, too, and unlike Ms. Coney/Barrett, his position in favor of the Second Amendment is known.
Are some Freepers against our Second Amendment, perhaps because of Metropolitan lifestyles? Is it feminism? What's up with that?
[Emphasis mine in bold in the article.]
I really don’t know much about the Judicial candidates (I admit I should, given the importance of the Supreme Court judges, but I don’t), but given all of the caterwauling about this Judge Amy person - she rates high in my eyes. I’ll trust the Good Lord to guide President Trump to pick the right person.
I don't think that's it.
More likely, some are hoping to gain a nominating edge by appealing to Dem identity politics. "She's a woman and a mother..."
I don't think that works very well, because Dems aren't consistent and have no problems with hypocrisy. It's all about what they can whip up the crowd with for the coming elections, now and in 2020.
KAVANAUGH IS ROBERTS 2.0

There is something ‘fishy’ about one of Trump’s potential Supreme Court nominees
this clown was involved in Hitlery’s Vince Foster murder case..a good read
Rush talked about him helping Roberts in the ok of Obamacare.
I’m thinking Kavanaugh because he clerked for Kennedy. It would be a nice parting gift to Kennedy for stepping aside at this point to allow for an appointment of another conservative. My preference is Amy Barrett, but she would make a great replacement for RBG
This is cheese in the maze folks. Making Schumer chase his tail. I trust Trump will make the right decision.
His Obamacare rulings are nothing but blabber...truly nonsensical gibberish
He is a Bush judge per Levin tonight. Enough said for me. Throw him out.
Why do FR Catholics tend to push women so hard for government positions?
******************************************
I’m neither Catholic or a woman but I happen to think the two women in the “final five” are outstanding candidates. And the fact that they are 47 and 40 respectively is a BIG plus. What bizarre thinking leads you to believe that those who find either or both of these women well qualified must be opposed to the 2nd Amendment and/or must be feminists?
Thanks for the link.
Sounds like the young Honduran fell would have been the safest YOUNG pick. He’s not so young now.
My choice is Kethledge -far and away. Originalist, writes his own opinions (unheard of), not Harvard or Yale, but #2 in his class at Michigan, clerked for Kemnedy, hunts (with guns!) fishes, married with two children. He is an “outsider”. Not part of the D.C. swamp.
There’s a lot more to recommend him, the above article is an interesting comparison between he and Kavanaugh.
Well put, me too.
I do think the fact that she’s female isn’t factored into this article but is a political reality.
If I were on the vetting team, my number 1 concern would be where they stand on immigration issues. These other matters are important too, but immigration is at the point of ruining our country forever.
I’ll keep saying it...No more women!
This is a total disaster. Kavanaugh is a horrible left wing RINO promoted by John sununu !! He was at fault for Souter!! Don’t let this happen. Take to the streets!! We need millions to surround the Capitol!!
Assuming she is right on abortion and gun rights and all other aspects of the constitution...I am totally for her not because she is a woman and Catholic, but because her womanhood and Catholic faith will send the leftists into another apoplectic seizure and they will freak the F put so bad it will drive another 5 million voters away from the Rats and at least half will join the MAGA army.
