This is BS put out by Ann Coulter. I've posted this elsewhere, but Ann in going all out for Kavanaugh kinda went off the rails on Kethledge, claiming he is an "open boarders" advocate. But she lies.
Ann Coulter's last tweet on Kethledge references Van Don Nguyen v. Holder, 571 F.3d 524
In the first place the opinion was written not by Kethledge but by Merritt. All three judges on the panel voted to reverse and did so because of a recent Supreme Court decision noting that the law requiring deportation was for "crimes of violence" and the SC has held on multiple times that this phrase is ambiguous and not well defined in law.
These three judges UPHELD THE LAW. Don't like the law, get Congress to pass a new one. And they did so applying the 2008 Decision of the SC which SCALIA WROTE. The judges here explained:
Justice Scalia recently explained in Santos that the rule of lenity prevents courts from having to "read the mind" of Congress and is a "venerable" requirement that the federal courts have applied for two centuries when interpreting ambiguous criminal statutes. When a criminal statute is ambiguous as to its intent, the "tie" goes to the defendant. Because we cannot find that auto theft is "unambiguously" a crime of violence under Section 16(b), we should follow the ancient rule and overrule the administrative agency in this case..
I don't know about vetting the various choices, but I have vetted Ann here and she is a liar. As an attorney should should know better as well.
She still likes Mitt Romney. What more need be said about his powers of discernment?
By this point, I’ve heard so many attacks against and praise of each of the leading contenders for the Court, I don’t know what to believe anymore. I guess I’ll just wait and see what Trump decides and hope it’s for the best.
I tend to believe he is getting an unfair shake on the immigration rulings...I had immediately thought he would be bad news based on Breitbart/Ann Coulter...it may not be the case if you consider the sheer number of his opinions on this topic.
