While Fox News opinion hosts gushed about President Donald Trump’s decision to nominate Brett Kavanaugh to replace Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court, the set of “Fox & Friends” was a bit cooler on the idea.

Cut the crap
If you didn’t want Yrump’s picks you should have voted for someone else
Judge Napolitano announces his off-base legal analysis with a kind of certainty usually reserved for citations to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Kavanaugh is on the list. If Napolitano was worried about BK he should have brought the issue up then and not waited until DJT did what he said he would do.
Napolitano's string pullers are making him look even more foolish than he ordinarily does.
Exactly. He knew he was on the “finalist” list and didn’t say anything. I think he talks just to hear himself.
Cindy wrote it. McShamey has zero idea what’s going on
I don’t believe Judge Nap has been as sharp recently.
Not sure what is going on with him, but I’ve lost some respect for the guy.
Rush opened his show stating this would be on of the left’s tactics to portray him as a swamp dweller, but I was surprised that Judge Nap did.

I don’t trust that guy AT ALL. He’s been out there for months sticking up for the Swamp - and you’re saying he’s now complaining that Kavanaugh is PART of it? Sounds like a set-up.
I’m quite happy with the choice.
I certainly didn’t want Kethledge, because he is weak on immigration.
Ginsburg’s replacement will be Amy Coney Barrett.
We will have more Senate seats then.... so her confirmation will be a walk.
Dems will squawk LOUDLY, but there won’t be a damn thing they can do to stop it.
My two cents...
I have the feeling that Trump put up the easiest to get approved first. Should the Dem’s go all out and stop the nomination, it will have a couple of positive ramifications:
1. It will fire up the R base and put those D senators in Trump states in serious jeopardy.
2. After we get a few more Senate seats in November, Trump can put up someone even more conservative.
I am already seeing my not-very-political friends questioning the sincerity, if not the sanity, of the Democrat reaction. One friend, who is NOT an astute observer of these things, pointed out to me how the protesters had signs printed to protest whoever Trump picked. They thought that was tacky and lame.
If you go with the old adage that America is 1/3 hard left, 1/3 hard right, and 1/3 mushy middle, I can’t see the D’s doing well playing to only 1/3 of the electorate.
If Kavanaugh does get confirmed, it is a win as well, but we’d almost be better off if he isn’t.
It was Napolitano that “trashed” Judge Kavanaugh, which isn’t surprising since he has a habit of criticizing President Trump.
I’m very pleased with the President’s choice and certainly don’t believe that the swamp won.
I mean, Kavanaugh said...
“I believe that the President should be excused from some of the burdens of ordinary citizenship while serving in office.”
“We should not burden a sitting President with civil suits, criminal investigations, or criminal prosecutions.”
Kavanaugh has opined that the “indictment and trial of a sitting President” would “cripple the federal government.”
Listening to Rush today he said that it’s hard not to be involved with Bush. He was president for 8 years. Not sure what he was suppose to have done. What were the alternatives? Hey back then I was a big supporter of GWB .
To quote that 'a person on FOX'... said something is to imply that a conservative was trashing a conservative. That's often - most often - NOT the case. It's a liberal trashing a conservative... with the veil of 'possibly being conservative'.
CLEAN IT UP FOX... PUT A BLUE LINE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN WHEN A LIBERAL IS ON AND A RED LINE WHEN A CONSERVATIVE IS ON...
Anyone who pretends they're 'in the middle' and 'neither' (while living in DC_ should be fired for being a liar. NeverTrumpers should have a pink line and Blue Dog democrats a light blue line... Come on Fox... get real. And you too ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN... get real and be honest for a change.
President Trump should appoint a true conservative as a recess appointment. Perhaps it will help Grease the tracks to get this one confirmed. it would also avoid the complex situation of a split 4-4 decision affirming a ridiculous 9th circus ruling.
In follow-on litigation to the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on the Second Amendment in D.C. v. Heller, a D.C. Circuit panel majority, consisting of two Republican appointees, upheld the District of Columbia’s ban on possession of most semi-automatic rifles and its registration requirement for all guns in D.C. Judge Kavanaugh dissented (in Heller v. D.C. (2011)). An excerpt from his dissent:
In Heller, the Supreme Court held that handguns – the vast majority of which today are semi-automatic – are constitutionally protected because they have not traditionally been banned and are in common use by law-abiding citizens. There is no meaningful or persuasive constitutional distinction between semi-automatic handguns and semiautomatic rifles. Semi-automatic rifles, like semi-automatic handguns, have not traditionally been banned and are in common use by law-abiding citizens for self-defense in the home, hunting, and other lawful uses. Moreover, semiautomatic handguns are used in connection with violent crimes far more than semi-automatic rifles are. It follows from Heller’s protection of semi-automatic handguns that semi-automatic rifles are also constitutionally protected and that D.C.’s ban on them is unconstitutional. (By contrast, fully automatic weapons, also known as machine guns, have traditionally been banned and may continue to be banned after Heller.)
Finding out that Nap is married to a man didn’t help my opinion, either.
Nap has his homosexual agenda that shines through.

When Napolitano talks out his hindquarters, as he so often does, it’s time to get a blowtorch out and set fire to it.
