All news nust be judged on its own merits, Regardless of the source. Dismissing this report due to its source is no different than “Libs” who would never take a Breitbart post or post from FreeRepublic just becase they reject both sources as “fake news”.
Such knee-jerk reactions lack the intellecual discernment I have always held Conservatives as generally having more of than the Left.
I think the article has ever chance of being right.
Trump, wrongly in my view, wanted to avoid a SCOTUS-pick-fight that would deny that pick getting the nod before the MidTerms. Kavenaugh is right out of the Bush family legal stable and the RINOS will get behind McConnnel to insure the 5o votes needed after he bypasses any filibuster. THAT, not any composition of the court was Trump’s aim.
I always though he was wrong. The GOP base could use a good fight they could get behind before the midterms, and wacthing the Libs batter a female court nominee from Trump, whom they hate, would have done, and sent more female Dims into the “#Walkaway” movement. GOP enthusiasm in November waas always capable, if enough, to not only save the House and the Senate, but increase the GOP Senators. Making a court pick even easier next time.
Trump avoided a fight I think we would have won at the end of the day.
I think as the WSJ says - all is pretense now, in Congress, not a real fight the Dims are really going to be very unhappy about, as we know they were going to be about Amy Barret. Kavenaugh will be confirmed and both the GOP establishment and the Dims will actually be O.K. with it. Roe, Obamacare, the CFPB, gay marriage (and more) are all safe with Kavanaugh.
What about a non-source?
