This was the guy I was most worried about getting- I hope he doesn’t turn into another Kennedy.
My gut feeling is Democrats have nothing to worry about.
Same here. He made a great speech last night to get confirmed, but it was worrisome to me he spent so much time pushing women, blacks, Kagan etc.
“This was the guy I was most worried about getting”
Yeah; me, too.
Kavanaugh clerked for Kennedy.
Kavanaugh has said that he wouldn't overturn Roe v Wade.
Many are speculating the Kennedy made a deal to retire in exchange for naming his replacement from Trump's list.
SCOTUS remains 4/2/3 (L-to-R), it seems. Not the worst thing ever, but not the big win the Right was hoping for.
Maybe next it will be Breyer and Thomas retiring together, with Breyer getting the same deal, so that, after 4 Trump appointments, the Court will still only have gone from 4/2/3 to 3/3/3.
(Ginsberg will stay on the Court, even if she is hooked to machines keeping her alive. She will outlast Trump's 2 terms.)
Lisa M and Collins are the two to watch for more than McCain.
