Nationally syndicated radio talk show host, TV host, author and American lawyer Mark Levin (Screenshot) On his nationally syndicated radio talk show Monday, host Mark Levin expressed alarm at the forcefulness with which some had pushed for Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court

Below is a transcript of Mark Levin’s remarks on his show Monday:
“Then we get to Kavanaugh. I have never seen a campaign for a Supreme Court justice to be nominated as aggressive, as nasty, as ruthless, and as dishonest as the campaign behind Kavanaugh. That’s not to say he wouldn’t make a good justice, but there are questions.
“And should he be the nominee – because apparently, he’s the leading candidate, I don’t know firsthand – should he be the nominee, and he’s in front of that committee, we constitutional conservatives, that is, we constitutionalists, we want conservatives like Mike Lee and Ted Cruz to ask some questions to satisfy our concerns, particularly on Obamacare, particularly on abortion, particularly on immigration.
“I don’t need to hear his views on Chevron and the administrative state. We know they’re good. They’re very good. But I need to know if he’s a constitutionalist. All of them, all of them.”

Nobody is perfect, and that includes Mark Levin, and Brett Kavanaugh. All humans make mistakes. I think Gorsuch made a big one on one of his recent rulings - can’t remember what it was at the moment. The justices will make some good decisions and some not so good. However, the 4 libs on the court never make good decisions. They have a mental illness.
Meese is a very old man, so no oneshould expect him to stand very long. He’s almost 87.
Levin's take on Kavanaugh was altogether reasonable. Let's see how the questions go in his hearings.
Warren constructed it in that way to have the reach of a Cabinet level Department, beyond the reach of the President. [Before running for Senate, she clearly thought she was going to be appointed to that job, but in a rare display of backbone Republicans nixed her appointment.]
The CFPB needs to be destroyed.
He is a textualist, and believes the law needs to be well defined. Nothing wrong with that, but contrary to claims, the position he took was not the same as the position taken by Scalia in a similar case, where the reasoning was different.
Levin seems to have gone off the cliff again.
The nominee has made over 300 rulings on the DC Circuit Court that reveal his views. Is Levin too lazy to read?
So you say.
I agree. But the reasoning he demonstrated give reason for concern
I apologize to you and all readers for the typos in my previous reply. I really did spell check it and as often happens because of poor eyesight, the post still ended up with typos. Sigh.
You don't have to believe me. Both recordings and transcripts of his shows are freely available.
...we constitutionalists, we want conservatives like Mike Lee and Ted Cruz to ask some questions...
Nevertrumper Troll Levin blathers on.
Mark Levin spent his credibility. Funny guy. Dead to me.
I have a bad feeling about this pick. My money says he’s a leftist in sheeps gear.
Thos allows the cabal to have their court.
Just more anti-Trump crap from the idiot Levin.
“He preferred Cruz but in the end supported Trump. He’s NOT a NeverTrumper. And he IS your intellectual superior (mine too). “
Levin is an anti-Trumper. He has only given Trump very weak support since his radio show took a nose dive as people fled his anti-Trump rantings.
He’s about as intellectual as an liberal. It takes a moron to think all those nasty unsubstantiated things of Trump that Level said about him.
Levin pissed because his guesses were wrong?
“...and cares too much about getting invited to all the right Washington parties.”
My thinking on that is if he’s already a DC resident and has still remained a Constitutionalist he likely will remain so.
Yup. If Levin had his druthers we’d be seeing Hillary making these SCOTUS picks because supposedly that would lead to a 2020 “conservative revolution” led by Ted Cruz and Mike Lee.
Levin and his ilk are forever tainted by that horrible anti American traitorous lack of judgment and patriotism and in my view are forever condemned to the sidelines. Useless
Levin's take on Kavanaugh is that since he isn't Mike Lee, he's not an acceptable pick for the Supreme Court.
Levin is a GOPe guy.. and now lives in the beltway... I wouldn’t dismiss his concerns outright, but he’s clearly connected to the old guard.
He’s a good source, particularly in matters of the law, far more informed and knowledgeable than any other conservative talking head in syndication.
Doesn’t mean he fully gets the electorate, he doesn’t. He’s definitely of the GOPe world view.
