Judges, particularly those on the Supreme Court, are expected to sit above the partisan fray. But Brett Kavanaugh, whom President Trump nominated to succeed Anthony M. Kennedy on Monday night, is much like the man who selected him highly divisive in his decisions and rhetoric. According to a deep, data-driven survey of his writings from the bench, he is an uncommonly partisan judge, even compared to other federal appeals court judges.
On the circuit court, Kavanaugh tended to dissent more often along partisan lines than his peers, according to our research. He justified his decisions with conservative doctrines far more than his colleagues, citing politicized precedents consistent with other Republican-appointed judges, invoking the original Articles of the Constitution (consistent with the Originalist jurisprudence favored by conservative jurists) and using the language of economics and free markets.

Besides, it's entertaining to watch the Left meltdown while we're enjoying the times of our lives.
Article is total nonsense and incomprehensible.
Does this person get paid to write this drivel?
I am willing to bet the I am more ‘radically’ Conservative than this SCOTUS nominee.
So bad it took leftist imbeciles to draft it.
Kavanaugh was not my first choice, but the more hysterical the left gets the better I feel about him.
Fixed it.

For once, I hope the Washington Post is right.
Conservatives bring their political views to the courts.
Oh wait... liberals have done that for decades, writing their policy preferences and enshrining their political views into law.
Now whos an extremist?
“The MEDIA telling us how much we should like him and how conservative he is has me worried more than anything else.”
uh, huh. and if the media loved him, you’d be screaming that’s proof that Kavanaugh is a loser ... there’s no winning with you, is there? ... just another nattering nabob of negatism like the hundreds that have been overrunning FR lately with their inane BS ...
“Kavanaugh is radically conservative. Heres the data to prove it.”
finally! i knew it would be only a couple of days before the leftist fake stream media dug up the facts as to why we should love this guy ...
“Kavanaugh was not my first choice, but the more hysterical the left gets the better I feel about him.”
ROTFLOL!
true enough ...
Right. Yet somehow we can all tell exactly what side Kagan, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Ginsburg are going to come down on with every single issue. Every one. But they are above the fray and non political, of course.
WAPO is making more Americans SUPPORT the presidents choice!
I don’t think RGB will be there much longer.
The lesbian is radically liberal. The racist hispanic Sotomayer is radically liberal. The decomposing old hag Ginsburg is radically liberal.........etc. etc. fool..where’s your column on them?
“Dissent” is supposed to be a leftist virtue, but when a conservative dissents, it’s a sign of partisanship and extremism.
From the totally unreliable, pinko, wash compost? Gotta be 🐂💨💩💩
