Not Your Father’s Supreme Court

American Greatness

July 10, 2018

President Trump on Monday announced that he was appointing D.C. Circuit Judge Brett Kavanaugh to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court. Not since his trip down the escalator to announce he was running for president has Donald Trump uttered more significant words.

Almost exactly a year and a half ago, I wrote the following for American Greatness: “The day after a Supreme Court nomination announcement is like Christmas morning for court watchers. It’s even more special, really, because we only get a Supreme Court nomination every five years or so.”

As it turns out, we got two nominations in the first two years of President Trump’s first term. This appointment is by far the more significant one, both as a political and a jurisprudential matter.

Yes, but will this court boldly take on the errant rulings of my father's Supreme Court and correct them, or will they excessively defer to tradition and precedent?

I was listening to one analyst, the votes may well be there now, to overturn Roe v. Wade but the analyst said, Roberts likely doesn't want to deal with that now. Sometimes, one can not overplay their hand... though, I agree with the Conservative Review article in the politics section, what we needed was a Clarence Thomas appointee. It certainly is interesting, I remember all of the hubbub of them trying to keep Thomas out.

As a father I find it offensive that you would smear all fathers with wearing Obama style jeans.
