If it were up to Rand Paul, the nominee would at least be a truly strict textualist and originalist.
Correct,
And everyone should be damned glad he doesn’t want a possible david souter on the bench.
And Rand is right about that. I suspect that if the nominee is not an originalist but more a Kennedy type, he or she might lose Cruz and Lee also.
Most of the names on the list are apparently textualists and origninalists. Kavanaugh is one of the two on the long list about whom I’m dubious on that point. (Hardiman is the other.)
