For now, Ill have to be content with the fact that Kavanaugh was vetted by Trump.
Corrections, insights welcome.
If the GOP expands their majority in the Senate, who is to say that Thomas might not step down next year and Barrett would be nominated to replace him?
Thus a 71 year old Conservative Justice would be replaced by a 47 year old Conservative.
Theres zero guarantee that Trump will get another SCOTUS pick.
Don’t get you panties in a bunch David. Nothing is guaranteed but the chance that Ginsburg makes it past 6 years is near zero! I’m bettin President Trump get 2 more picks!
So what?
Have you read his decisions? Did you hear his speech last night? His fidelity to the constitution is solid. Thats what we want
Go buy some tin foil and duct tape
She could pass on...as they say
Don’t get me wrong, I think she has potential, but without that track record in the Federal courts, I think its way too early and she would have been unnecessarily risky at this stage.
Oh goody the Mike Lee fan boy segment chimes in
There are still two more picks for Trump to make, so while this wasn’t my favorite I can live with it, especially if he lives up to the label of “second amendment extremist”.
Or, she could live to be 105.
Honey Badger don't give a shite about anything National Review says anymore.
WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE? I swear.. they are not policy makers, they don’t work for the people. Stop opining and Dear Mr. French: Run for office like President Trump did and then I may listen to you.
When Barret has 300 opinions, then it’s “her turn.”
RBG probably runs on hate, spite, and seething internal rage.
Even those won’t sustain the crone forever.
I thought the same thing as having Barrett replace sleepy on the bench. They’ll demand a woman, and Trump will make sure they get one.
“Who gives a rats ass about the Never Trumpers at the NR?”
BINGO
Oh please shut up Never Trumper David French. Egg McMuffin before they found Egg McMuffin to run. Honestly who knows how great Barrett would be. She has no paper trail so everyone is just projecting. Also enough with the culture wars and Roe vs Wade already. There are many other important issues. No one knows how she would rule on immigration issues for example.
I agree with you. The interesting thing is that the one prominent GOP nominee from the last few decades (other than that dingbat Harriet Miers, that is) who had a very thin Federal court track record was Clarence Thomas — who was nominated in late 1991 after less than a year and a half on the D.C. Court of Appeals.
There is time and opportunity enough for the “core conservative” pick to be made to the Supreme Court. and in a manner that would both keep the gender balance and the overall upgrading of the Supreme Court, when RBG, as must eventually happen, passes (literally) from the scene.
He right, one every point he made in this excellent article.
