Trump taps federal appeals court Judge Brett Kavanaugh for Supreme Court
msn ^ | July 9, 2018

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.

I like him too, he went after the Clinton criminal cabal. I heard Trump onterviewed him for an hour which I would imagine is 59 minutes and 50 seconds longer than Barrys interview of “Do you hate America?”

The on going silent coup with the Supreme Court as the linchpin is in grave danger.

Soros tells the Dems what to do.

The entire Dem party is a puppet to globalist planning the demise of America.

Soros does not want “activist judges” on the court, he wants judges he can control on the court.

Soros needs every decision to resemble a mini constitutional convention.

He needs every decision to be the output of an un-elected super legislature to dismantle America piece by piece.

This has NOTHING AT ALL to do with political issues.

Those are just used to whip up the emotions of the electorate to support the coup.

..and daft and easily duped the left’s base are.

Remarkably stupid group think infused morons.

Not earth worm smart and going to college.

Make no mistake, the Supreme Court is where America will live or die.

Stop getting distracted by all the banter.

There are people that want to take your freedom away and they have self identified.

Get that through you skull.

Stop listening to the gibber jabber and FOCUS on SCOTUS from here on out.

We will see how it goes. He’s about to get trashed. I hope he wants a free constitutional country for his daughters. The Dems now have to hammer on a person that ultra-conservatives might not have chosen. The Dems May want to eat this choice. They lose seats in November, the next choice may really hurt.

Using your logic it could have been Dukakis with the Souter pick, which turned out exactly as if a Dem had done the picking.

Sona Sotomayor
Elana Kagen
Ruth Ginsberg

Soros tools who vote every time to dismantle America brick by brick.

They could care less about this Nation as founded.

They are sick individuals who want nothing more than to see America fall socialism so power can be concentrated among a few blood thirsty psychos - queue Hillary.

Sick.

Not kinda sick.

I’m talking really mentally disturbed that they believe the right thing to do is destroy America.

That’s who they are.

That’s who I was for. I like that he’s a top-flight intellectual, who can make his decisions clear. He’s been influential off the Supreme Court bench. He’ll be a superstar on it.

Levin? We’d have president Hillary if it were up to Levin. And you’re calling Kavanaugh squishy? Sorry the Levins of the world who botched the election hold zero sway.

I kinda wish it was Amy Coney Barrett, but IMO Pres. Trump is keeping her in reserve for whenever Ruth Buzze Ginsberg takes her final snooze.

I was hoping the same thing. I believe President Trump will get another bite at this SCOTUS apple over the next 6+ years. Maybe two more. That would be divine.

I’m happy if they eventually move it to a states rights issue.
