“Is this the guy who at one time clerked for Kennedy?”
Yes, you know he got support from Justice Kennedy. Said a backer of the Second Amendment and rule of law with immigration.
Expect Rat heads to commence exploding like a string of firecrackers.
That’s my concern. I’ll hold my fire, but as I said on FR immediately after Kennedy announced his retirement, this all sort of had a stench of quid pro quo of Kennedy negotiating his retirement timing with an informal agreement that a pick satisfactory to Kennedy would be made. When it was announced that Kavanaugh was up for consideration and that he clerked for Kennedy, I feared the worst.
It has come to pass.
