Judge Kavanaugh is being heavily pimped by the Establishment and Mainstream/Bush Republicans.And a favorite of the New York Times.
What could be wrong with this?

‘Judge Brett Kavanaugh, who was appointed by President George W. Bush;

Kavanaugh also led the investigation into the suicide of Clinton aide Vincent Foster.
Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement, effective July 31, 2018. Kavanaugh is seen as a front-runner for appointment to fill that vacancy
After George W. Bush became president in 2001, Kavanaugh served for two years as Senior Associate Counsel and Associate Counsel to the President
Kavanaugh encouraged judges to first seek the “best reading” of the statute, through “interpreting the words of the statute” as well as the context of the statute as a whole, and only then apply other interpretive techniques that may justify an interpretation that differs from the “best meaning” such as constitutional avoidance, legislative history, and Chevron deference.[24]

Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit was a striking omission from the president’s original list. One administration official has said in the past that Judge Kavanaugh would be a leading candidate should Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, 81, decide to step down. Judge Kavanaugh is now officially on the list.

Anyone with the stench of Bush is not acceptable to me.

Conservatives only, please.
