If some of the information that I’m finding concerning Brett Kavanaugh is correct, then I don’t share Pres. Trump’s enthusiasm for Kavanaugh.
Abortion

For now, I’ll 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.

There’s 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. That’s what we want

Go buy some tin foil and duct tape

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.

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.

Oh, goody! yet another link to the traitorous, pro-Hillary, anti-Trump, neo-con, RINO scumbags at National Review.

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.

Right, because it's crazy to think that a man so intimately involved with George W Bush may not be the conservative justice we've been waiting for to replace Kennedy.

But hey, your faith is touching. I've been burned by too many fake conservatives who make all the right noises prior to confirmation and then have liberal epiphanies once seated on the SC.

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.

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.
