Report: Trump ‘All but Ruled Out’ Kethledge After Conservative Criticism on Immigration
Breitbart ^ | 8 Jul 2018 | John Binder

President Trump has “all but ruled out” Judge Raymond Kethledge from his shortlist of candidates to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court, a report reveals. A new report from the New York Times claims that Kethledge is one of four judges being considered by Trump to nominate to the Supreme Court that has been ruled out.

The report states:

The only judge among the four whom the president appears to have all but ruled out is Raymond M. Kethledge. People close to the process said the president had found him likable but comparatively dull. And some conservatives, whose support has guided Mr. Trump’s thinking about the courts, have voiced concern about Judge Kethledge on issues like immigration.

Sources close to Breitbart News confirmed that Trump heard criticism from conservatives over Kethledge’s shaky record on immigration. As Breitbart News reported, in one case back in 2013, Kethledge sided with an illegal alien who had overstayed their visa and spent 10 years in the U.S. illegally trying to obtain an employment visa.

In another case in Kethledge joined an opinion which blocked the deportation of a criminal immigrant who had been in the U.S. on a Green Card. The immigrant lied on his U.S. citizenship application and went on to commit grand theft auto.

No, what is sad is that the Bar is so rotten their own standards fail.

Breitbart and Ann are liars.

The discussion of neither case accurately reflects whate Kethledge wrote in his opinions.

I have already discussed these on other threads.

It's sad. I will never listed to Ann Coulter again for what she did - and I don't have a dog in the fight except that I expect real conservatives to show a bit more intellectual honesty than Ann or Breitbart have mustered on this subject. It's like I am reading the slimescompost.

ANN COULTER GETS RESULTS!

Ann lied and I will chase Coulter threads around this forum showing the magnitude of her lie. She is despicably dishonest person and her methods and motives are immoral.

Another useless article with supposition out the ying-yang and nothing but speculative rumor created in the minds of those who would try to use mental telepathy to control Trump....

The hidden problem is the staffer who got him on the President’s short list.

If Trump needs to name a woman (though I fail to see why), he should name her when RBG leaves.

You seem to have done perfectly fine as a conservative, pro-American woman. Why can’t Coney Barrett?

That’s one problem with our country: demagogues and loons on both the left and the right.
