WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Monday nominated Brett Kavanaugh, a federal appeals court judge in Washington, to succeed Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court. Trump made the announcement at the White House. NBC News broke the story shortly before the president's made his choice public. Kavanaugh serves on the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which often rules on major challenges to federal laws and policies. If confirmed, he would make the Supreme Court solidly conservative, joining Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch — providing a five-vote majority.

Good words. I call it 3-D chess. The mantra of Abortion is a straw dog as phony as the chicken crying that the sky is falling. Kavanaugh will have massive credibility with the American people. We will win the war of words because the truth is on our side. The Dems will act like fools and turn the public against them, right before the elections.
Trump and the republicans really want this done before the elections in November...this guy seems like the best bet to get confirmed before then..there’s no telling what kind of Senate they’ll have in January....bad time to nominate someone that would really spark a fight. This pick will indeed be a fight, but this guy will have the experience to weather what the Demos go after him for....hate to nominate one of the others and then have them make a mistake or fold during the hearings and then have it all delayed til after the elections. I think the pick is rock solid..especially on guns. President Trump is turning into a very influential President...outstanding.
I kept telling you it would be Kavanaugh! /s
Either Trump lied to me about Hardiman or the guy I was communicating with on line wasn’t really Trump.
“We now need to unite and support President Trump’s selection. God knows there will be plenty of opposition from the other side.”
HERE! HERE!
(applause)
He's the pick and Trump's no fool - even though many keep trying to find a reason to label him such.
“McCain just endorsed him. That makes me nervous.”
OR whoever is currently McCain’s brain.
Post of the day!
uh, nope. Just wondering if anyone has seen a good list. I've found a few, and will be reading through them this week so I can make my own judgments about it as opposed to those who are letting the lying media make their decisions for them.
No real point in digging through the decisions of everyone on the list. Time is a limited commodity. Now that we know who it is, and not just dealing with speculation, we can do proper research ourselves. I don't have a staff for this stuff.
I apologize for the comment - been a bit “snappish” lately.
Accepted unreservedly. We all get that way occasionally.
I did, btw, find exactly what I was looking for in another thread.

I've only had time to dig through a few so far. There is enough material here to keep me busy until the vote comes up I suspect.
