Thomas needs to go ahead and retire. RBG is on death’s door.

Trump can remake the court for over a generation with FOUR picks his first term if that happens.

And the NeverTrumpers were willing to roll the dice on Hillary’s SCOTUS picks?
Insanity!

If I were President Trump, I’d be passing the word quietly to dem senators in red states that if they don’t want to be severely ‘testored’, they better give his nominee to the Supreme Court a favorable vote before October 1.
I can envision a whole lot of Great Falls, MT types of campaign appearances between the vote and election day if the nominee goes down because of purely partisan politics....And not just in red and purple states.

‘America First’ SCOTUS Choice: Judge Brett Kavanaugh Applies Trump’s Economic Patriotism to the Law
[Kavanaugh's decisions agree with Trump's policies on immigration and trade.]

Empirical SCOTUS blog sees Brett Kavanaugh as likely SCOTUS nominee
ABA Journal, American Bar Association ^ | December 12, 2017 | Debra Cassens Weiss
Kavanaugh would be attractive to conservatives because of positions he took on two hot-button issues: gun rights and abortion. Kavanaugh dissented when the appeals court rejected a challenge to a Washington, D.C., ban on assault weapons enacted after the Supreme Court found an individual right to own guns under the Second Amendment. Kavanaugh also dissented when the full D.C. Circuit required the U.S. government to allow an abortion for a 17-year-old immigrant who was being held in a shelter because she is in the country illegally.

How old is Kavanaugh?

What happened to Hardiman - Trump’s number 2 guy last time? Wouldn’t he be logically up next?

Ping.

Regarding your mention of a conservative survey in another thread, I'm starting to see more evidence of what you told us about. Thanks for passing that on to me.

Information from search engines showed me that there was an uproar from many self-described conservatives against Kavanaugh's decision against funding an abortion for an illegal immigrant in Garza v. Hargan as mentioned in the article above this thread.

I also began to recall quite a few Republicans at a university and in the service who made pro-abortion comments. Reading comments in this thread might yield some insights.

Very nice, but are we to forget that it was Kavanaugh, in one of his rulings, that wrote a road map for Roberts with Obamacare, as to how to get around the tax vs penalty issue. Roberts did not pull that out of a hat. He read Kavanaughs work and found the remedy, he, Robnerts, wanted to precisely NOT invalidate Obamacare wholesale.

Kavanaugh is part of the Bush family stable (look at his bio). I think he is a Trojan horse.
