Empirical SCOTUS blog sees Brett Kavanaugh as likely SCOTUS nominee
ABA Journal, American Bar Association ^ | December 12, 2017 | Debra Cassens Weiss

Posted on 07/02/2018 7:05:47 PM PDT by familyop

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.

I keep thinking that the demands of a large relatively young family are going to detract from her focus.

“Why do FR Catholics tend to push women so hard for government positions?”

I see more posts about there being too many Catholics on the SC. If it was that important you would think one of the Protestant presidents would nominate someone besides a Jew or Catholic once in a while.

‘Stay away from anyone associated with the Bush’s’

It is a character issue.
He is fine where he is.
I trust the other top picks more than him.

"More likely, some are hoping to gain a nominating edge by appealing to Dem identity politics. 'She's a woman and a mother...'"

Thanks! I think you're right about some of them. At least one or two of them, though, might be coming from the radical left, or even batting for the other side, if you know what I mean. ;-)

He must hold a strict view of interpretation of the Constitution

Crucial that he defends 2nd Amendment.

According to Mark Taylor, President Trump will end up replacing 5 SCOTUS judges of which this is only the second, and Roe vs Wade will be overruled eventually. God will have His way with all of the replacements, who will be from “His tree” (i.e Christians), Mark Taylor prophesied. According to prophet Charles Shamp: “Tonight while in prayer I heard the Lord say, “Get ready for my Deborah will arise and take her place!”. It looks very likely, if this prophecy is correct, that the Kennedy replacement will be a woman.

Deborah was a famous judge and prophetess in the Old Testament. She was much revered, and held the position as a judge for 40 years. Could this point to a younger ‘Deborah’ being chosen, who could be a SCOTUS judge for maybe 40 years? Someone like Amy Coney Barrett? Isn’t this what President Trump is hinting at? For political reasons, she could be a great choice. However, it’s God who has the final say.

Having done a conservative survey on three “conservative” area issues. We used various lists of and directories of folk to gauge voters on pro-life, Second Amendment and school choice issues, with 5 to 10 questions relating to those issues sprinkled throughout the questionnaires.

It was very eye opening to me of the education that conservative “leaders” still had lots of work ahead.

At that time, those who were in favor of pro-life, pro-family issues seemed to care little about the Second Amendment, or rather think it wasn’t endangered, while the strong Second Amendment folks were either not concerned about pro-life, pro-family or worse yet, said they were “pro choice!”

Lastly, as our local school districts score high nationwide, both of the other two groups but especially the gun groups were pretty negative as a whole on school choice. As the groups of voters who were interested school choice represented the smaller of the other two, we didn’t give as much weight to their feelings on life, though quite positive but uninterested in the Second Amendment issues!

Granted, this has been quite some time ago (pre Obama) since we did the survey and the US has definitely changed drastically for the worse, I was stunned then and remain so today, that the gun folks (and I count myself on that group) were ambivalent about other social issues. Our last question was optional for those who agreed to be surveyed, was regarding faith and any church sttendance.

Regular church attendees were strongly pro-life and even a number were in favor of school choice (my thoughts in that question would be many more in favor no matter how the scholastic level of their school districts.).

Sadly, the pro gun folks were the lowest on any regular church attendance and I don’t think the pro gun folks have moved much on issues of life or school options.

My top three picks are Barret, Tharpul & Kethridge. Like what was said, Kavanaugh might be too much of a swamp creature and Roberts 2.0

The only cases that I found indicated the opposite of what you said there.

“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.“
Yep, just ask Clarence Thomas.

That's not correct. The opposite is true, as we can see here.
