Thread for discussions before & after President Donald J Trump SCOTUS Pick!
And Kavanaugh provided the road map.
Kavanaugh was up to his eyeballs in the coverup of Foster's death.
You trust him? I don't.
Maybe he’s no longer capable of signing a resignation letter.
Hillary would have taken the bar likely sometime between 1973-1975. As you pointed out, the law has gotten more complex over time, but 1973-75 was awhile ago, and she had recently graduated from Yale law school ‘with honors’ - but still did not pass the DC bar. I would bet good money that plenty of lawyers from state schools and other ‘unrecognized’ law schools passed the DC bar that same year. What does that say about the loftiness of Ivy law schools? My point is not that Yale is a not good law school. It is a good school, like many others. It’s just not much different than any other law school - with the exception of connections and definitively unwarranted arrogance - like many Ivy institutions. What makes the Ivy’s more suspect than the other schools is that politics, legacy, and pedigree play a much bigger role in admissions to the Ivy’s than other universities. This dilutes the quality of those who attend the Ivy schools.
Clients demand quality law school graduates. This is what drives the competition to get into these schools and thus makes them great. It’s a circle.
So the real issue is limiting the amount of time the Ds can utilize to create their respective political advertisements. Here's an apt analogy: ever have a dinner party where it's time to move on to desert/after dinner drinks/coffee, but you're thinking in the back of your head when to attack the kitchen clean up chores? (Personally, we mostly practice 'clean as you go', but oftentimes commitments impact staying abreast.)
In this case, McConnell has got to be thinking in terms of eliminating the grandstanding, open time/questioning, etc to a bare minimum. Let the opposition have their 2 minutes or whatever to read their scripted outrage (aka "questions") and move quickly to a vote.
Kavanaugh was nominated as someone who was still to the right of Kennedy, but not so extreme right as to elicit any motivated opposition. I mean, you can really tell already that the wind has gone out of everyone's sails.
The time for a full scale nuke attack on proglibs is for Notorious RBG once both chambers are in full control after November.
Details? What lies did he tell?
I assume that meant if there is a warrant.
The truth is, the GOP-e has a faithful recent history of being full of progressives (some even proponents of Fabian Socialist objectives), blatantly globalists, and very VERY anti-Trump.
The GOP-e IS the real reason Trump is fully subject to the ongoing attempt at a very real coup-d-etat, and cover-up of massive DNC crime.
At the end of the day, moral relativism, or those who would defend and live a life of immorality, will/must naturally gravitate toward and defend the very immorality which will destroy them.
Only a foolish liberal or left-wing individual would be indifferent and incapable of recognizing the danger and evil around them, while at the same time blindly attacking those who would fight against evil and immorality.
While Cavanaugh is certainly to the right of many today, this is in part due to how far left and far gone much of our system and those who run it are.
While we can hope he will rule for what is right and constitutional, by his own admission, Cavanaugh is very much a life-long establishment and insider jurist.
There is already known to be good and bad with Cavanaugh.
On 2A Cavanaugh is a solid defender.
However, Cavanaugh wrote in favor of the blatantly illegal Obama Care (ACA), and supported Roberts, who rewrote the language of the law (legislating from the bench) to make it happen.
Cavanaugh has also defended illegal aliens.
The same GOP-e which has never stopped trying to overturn the Trump presidency, and is progressive and globalist, lobbied President Trump HARD for Cavanaugh.
This is why many of them are happy with this pick.
It is quite clear, there was some horse trading going on leading up to this, and this is likely the real reason Trump picked Cavanaugh.
Hope Trump won something really important from the GOP-e which has been out to throw him out of office.
You’re doing fine by me. Food for thought. Thank you.
Not a given.
In other words, he’s already playing politics.
Oh so true
The more I read from Cavanaugh’s opinions, the more evident he is not a true morally principled jurist.
Actually, while I hope I am wrong, Cavanaugh seems more a populist than costitutionalist.
There is NO WAY on earth this was a principled pick.
This could have only been pure back-room deal making politics.
Jay Sekulow likes him and the libtards on MSNBC and CNN heads are exploding...
POTUS has done a damn good job for us so far and I'm going to keep reading up on this choice and will Trust Trump.
If Trump is president when RBG croaks Trump said he will nominate Barrett for her seat.
from the link, a quick sum up:
Kavanaugh learned of this evidence, disproving the suicide theory, from grand jury testimony. Yet, Kavanaugh knowingly withheld this evidence from Starr's Report on Foster's death, and submitted the Report to the United States Court of Appeals, to the Special Division for the Purpose of Appointing Independent Counsels.
Did Kenneth Starr knowingly allow John Bates and Brett Kavanaugh to submit a fraudulent Report to the United States Court of Appeals?
Kavanaugh was willing to do what Miquel Rodriguez was not willing to do: To lie. Kavanaugh's lie that Vincent Foster drove to the park and killed himself was made to perpetuate the cover-up of the murder.
Brett Kavanaugh and John Bates were among those young, aspiring, people, about whom Miquel Rodriguez said, "will do what is necessary to move up the ladder." And move up the ladder they have. John Bates is now a federal district court judge in Washington DC and Brett Kavanaugh serves as an official in the White House. President Bush recently nominated Kavanaugh to be a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
It worries me that GW Bush released a positive statement immediately after the nomination. This makes it seem like this pick was fully approved by the swamp.
Trump said during the campaign he wanted to elect judges that would overturn Roe v. Wade. If that’s still true he nominated the wrong Catholic, Kavanaugh has said many times that Roe v. Wade is established precedent. He goes along to get along. He has no desire to return abortion to the states.
Guess I should spell his name correctly - “Kavanaugh”
