I appreciated Justice Thomas’ comments, but the GOP congress should have defunded Planned Parenthood.
The house and senate included that Federal $ in the Budget and Trump signed off on it to MM(ilitary)GA.
The problem is Republicans in Congress authorized federal funding.
Yep@ Remember how he praised Justice Kennedy? Kennedy was the swing vote and along with Obama lover Roberts we are in trouble with the Supremes.
I sometimes think that these confirmation-hearing confrontations are not so much meant to keep the nominee off of the court as to cow him into future submission, so as to prove how “independent” he is, to prove his critics wrong.
I refuse to read any article about this subject that contains such verifiably false information up front.
How can anything be a "states' rights" issue when it involves Federal Medicaid funding?
Nobody thought Kavanaugh would overturn Roe v. Wade. The guy is GOP-Establishment and has always been their favorite. It’s why I didn’t want him to be nominated but Trump chose him in the futile hope that the Democrats wouldn’t go nuclear in the confirmation process.
He was a moderate, hand picked by Kennedy as a moderate. Trump should have chosen someone more likely to follow the Constitution. We need SCJ to support the Constitution, not party political agendas. Trump should pick someone more like Clarence Thomas and Scalia.
Let’s pray to the Lord and not be so quick to jump, like a kangaroo, to conclusions.
“And it’s possible that the dirtiest, meanest, most reprehensible of all confirmation hearings may have made him even more hesitant to take on the most controversial issues of our time — particularly the kingpin of them all: abortion.”
Nope, the #1 issue is protecting the 2nd Amendment.
Tbis was not a court ruling, it was a procedural decision not to hear a case.
If people now think that Kavanaugh is too liberal, based on this one specific procedure,I’m speechless. Let’s see his opinions on actual cases. His lower court opinions were quite conservative weren’t they?
We all want states rights to be the law, right? Well, sometimes some states are going to rule in favor of left wing views. That’s the way the ball bounces sometimes, unfortunately.
I will wait a few more ruling’s to judge the situation. All of this is about him not using the case to make a ruling on the constitution. This Might of dealt with funding abortion but its constitutional issue had nothing to do with abortion. What would of been ruled on if it was taken up by the court was the constitutionality of the state banning the use of state money in a fedral program. the justices have to look at that issue if it is taken up not the morality of the abortion... Here is to hoping That this justice ends up not being a big disapointment
“Maybe Democrats Won On Brett Kavanaugh After All”
N absurd title that reminds me why I dont read conservative blogs anymore than I read leftist ones.
It may take some time to discern what his trajectory will be--an unreliable Kennedy or a trustworthy Alito. I do not see him as another Thomas. But then there will only be one Justice Thomas anyway.
The whole tactic wasn’t to derail his nomination (although they would have gladly accepted that). It was to neuter him for the future. That didn’t take long at all. Mission accomplished!
No. Everyone is running around with their hair on fire. The injunction is a preliminary. Justice Thomas is most likely correct. That does not mean the court will never take this up. Roberts (phew) and Kavanaugh maybe waiting to see what loser court does
No need to give up on the guy just because of 1 decision we don’t like. He’ll still be much better than Kennedy.
Lol — Entirely too much PREMATURE WEEPING, WAILING AND GNASHING OF TEETH in this thread.
Folks, wait and see.
