Thank you for posting this FACTUAL explanation :)
I get worried when I watch us jump on or off a bandwagon at the behest of supposedly conservative allies. Emoting before investigating is a hallmark of the left. I’ve done it too sometimes, and probably will again but I try to guard against it.
Before the hoopla started I found enough about Kethledge to convince me he’d make an outstanding AJ at SCOTUS. I haven’t found anything to change my mind. He’s my first choice and I have no real doubts about the others, though Kavanaugh worries me a bit, but I may be wrong.
The nonsense and outright lies being perpetrated by Coulter sicken me. She’s full of it and worse, she knows it, unlike her followers who trust her judgment. Shame on her.
And she should not misrepresent a case where the judge she was attacking was in fact following rule of law by failing to uphold ambiguous laws.
Violent crimes without definition or enumeration? I have a 30 sq ft sunken depression on a coastal property that has some cat tails growing on it. That makes that 30 sq feet in the middle of otherwise useable land a protected "wetland." Have I committed a violent crime if my lawnmower takes out some of the cat-tails? Do I go to prison for aggravated assault against the environment. [PS this a hypothetical and the cat-tails are thriving]. The thing that would protect me in this case is the principal of lenity that Kethledge signed onto on the cited case.
