Oddly enough, I see your point.

As I mentioned earlier, this could be a sacrifice nomination. Give the rats someone to Bork while holding the real choice in reserve...

Then again, Kavanaugh may be the best most originalist Justice ever.
I’ll wait and see.

I get Life Site news. According to them, Kav. is solidly pro-life.

The Democrats hate Catholics.

For that reason alone, Kavanaugh will not go over well with them.

They hate anyone who is a Reaganite conservative.

Trump named someone very different from.Kennedy.

What Kavanaugh won’t be is the Court’s swing vote.

I’ll try to be quieter.

Not too quiet, I hope. Those are fair objections, and I won't be forgetting them. Thanks.

Sekulow’s high endorsement is good enough for me.

You are onto something. Trump is giving them a target to shoot at. They get a seventy five percent conservative and vote for him, or they get Amy Barrett.

So, VA40, you think the SCOTUS should be more religiously diverse? There are no Buddhists, Hindus, Bahais or Mohammedans on it. For starters.

If the lefties are wigging out about Kavanaugh being the nominee, then I’m okay with Trump’s choice.

I don’t have any power. I’d just like to see him answer my questions and Rand Paul’s questions and maybe the answers are perfectly satisfactory. There is some risk of him being blackmailable because why did he do these things? We don’t need another Roberts.

And of course he’s miles better than any creature Hillary would have placed there.

Judge Jeanine seems to like Kavanaugh, too.

Correct. And if Senate dems foot drag on this selection they’ll look like dog-doo. It’s a two-fer!

Jay Sekulow, Judge Jeanine and Andrew McCarthy think Kavanaugh is a great selection.

If Sekulow likes him, then he’s good.
