Immigration is my number one issue. Also, that Hardiman and Kethledge are both seen as closer to being “moderates” and were backed by McConnell tells me that they weren’t the right choices either.

I’m not keen on Kavanaugh’s apparent swamp operative past, but I am confident in his jurisprudence.

I wish they would bork this one and he can nominate Amy Coney Barrett.

What is needed is an objective analysis of Kavanaugh’s decisions.

The only illegal thing I’ve actually read about was something about an illegal slut who wanted an abortion and his statement or decision or whatever it was, was not actually pro-illegal, but something boring going along with legal precedent that has been twisted.

I already am not impressed about him touting diversity and how many women clerks he’s hired.

But I will wait until I can read rational commentary about him.

That is true, however, she’s strong on illegal immigration issues.

“Who was the last judge who didn’t go to Harvard or Yale?”

Exactly my point. I've dealt with many from that pedigree. Not impressed.

I didn't like when he said he would follow 'precedent'.

You would not like a legal system where judges didn't respect precedent. It is one of the bedrocks of rule of law.

“Oh, geez. ‘I’m proud most of my law clerks were women.’”

Yeah. Enough of the PC crap already. I am NOT impressed.

A safe, inside-the-beltway pick that just spent time checking off all the boxes. Guess he had to but seems a bit contrived.

Well, his life story spins an interesting tale... that 9/10/01 first date, especially.

Amen. Thank God we are having President Trump selecting someone to fill this seat instead of one of the demoncrats.
I trust President’s Trump’s pick and turn it over to the Good Lord.

Well....why would POTUS - who ran on fighting ILLEGAL immigration - choose a pro-illegal alien justice?

"Did I hear him say he worked for Elena Kagan?"

She hired him to teach at Harvard Law School.
