Works for me. 2nd Circuit, you need to be looking over your shoulder.

Look at it this way, we will have the next 25+ Years to figure out if it’s a home run or grand slam. A lot of case law is going to be set in stone over that time.

Matt Schlapp: With Brett Kavanaugh, America will have a bold, brilliant Supreme Court justice
I want to hit the critics head-on. A few conservatives have raised concerns that Judge Kavanaugh will be “another John Roberts,” who sounds great but lets down conservatives in the end. Other than the fact that both sat on the D.C. Circuit (where Justices Scalia and Thomas also sat), the Kavanaugh-Roberts comparison is completely misplaced. When Roberts was nominated to the Court, he had a short judicial record that included few significant opinions. Kavanaugh’s 12-year record includes dozens of textualist and originalist opinions. Kavanaugh is not another Roberts; he’s another Scalia, Alito, or Gorsuch. In fact, on issues such as reining in the administrative state, he is arguably more conservative than even those three highly regarded justices.

That all sounds pretty good

Brett Kavanaugh is a true Second Amendment radical. He believes assault weapon bans are unconstitutional, a position way out of the judicial mainstream, far to the right of even late Justice Scalia.

Cautiously watching. He’s not a Scalia by a long shot. Not my first choice but a good choice. Time will tell. By then either we win or we lose but he’s here to stay.
Any choice being made by Trump is a gooooood choice!
Just let your imagination run wild thinking who would be getting the Obama/Hillary nod!? Because you know they both flirted with that as he was exiting, that he would make a great SCOTUS Justice! I puke just thinking about it...

Ginsburg will die in office. But its rumored both Thomas and Breyer want to retire. I bet one of them retires next year. Thomas might so PDT can nominate someone before 2020 election year rule.

Where Kavanaugh sits in the ideological spectrum
Where Brett Kavanaugh sits on the ideological spectrum
Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump's nominee to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court, would have the second most conservative score (0.693) on the bench if confirmed, next to Justice Clarence Thomas (0.725), per a measure that scores judges on a liberal-conservative spectrum.
Data: Epstein, Martin, and Quinn, 2016; Chart: Andrew Witherspoon, Harry Stevens/Axios
Why it matters: Kennedy often sided with the liberal wing of the court, so with this choice, Trump is cementing a solid conservative majority on the bench.

This is why we elected President Trump. This will set back the libreturd/commie/progressive agenda for 30+ years.

Brett Kavanaugh will do nothing but side with Trump’s dangerous, bigoted agenda. He believes assault weapons bans are unconstitutional, would dismantle the ACA, rip away a woman’s right to choose, and threaten LGBT and voting rights. He would be a disaster for our country.

Judge Kavanaugh has applied an extreme and dangerous interpretation of the Second Amendment when determining whether a law is constitutional, one that does not take into account a law’s impact on public safety.

agreed, but if he has a solid record on the 2a, and is an originalist then Ill deal with it (not that I have a choice).
As much as I really, really want to hear that Ginsburg has been found tits up and room temperature now rather than later, I am guessing that she is more likely to die during the winter months.So when are we taking bets for President Trump's 3rd choice?
It’s been my experience that the elderly die from things like pneumonia due to having weakened immune systems,- and winter is an opportune time for that.
Aw, who the hell am I kidding? C’mon RBG,- do us all a favor. Check out NOW! Heart attack, stroke, cancer, choking, slip ‘n fall? Doesn’t matter to me,- I’m good with them all.
Look at her hands in this picture. Now, it is easy to understand why she is always wearing gloves out in public anymore. Look at the dark patches,- she is obviously on blood thinners.
Tick tock, tick tock, bitch. Time to go...
