If she’s replaced there will be an ACTUAL conservative majority.
Exactly. And if Thomas retires, he better do it soon.
Kavanaugh's record on the Vince Foster case had some concerning patterns. I would also note the recent Planned Parenthood case rejection where Kavanaugh's and Roberts sided with the liberal justices, though I read analysis somewhere stating this wasn't prima facie evidence that Kavanaugh's gone Souter.
So far I can't say Kavanaugh will be good in the long run or bad. Time will tell. This is a big reason why in a thread on a possible SCOTUS review of concealed carry and the 2nd Amendment I argued against such a review at this time because I don't trust the current make-up of the Court. Candidly, I am more concerned about Roberts than Kavanaugh...maybe we need to get two Liberals replaced before we can feel good about the Court once again ruling with fidelity to the constitution.
Btw, as a side note, Fox News is just NOW reporting that Roberts is giving conservatives pause?
