Dirty Words Trump Dirty Deeds for the Next SCOTUS Pick
Kurt Schlichter
If Samuel Alito decides to call it quits this summer – and there are good reasons for him to do so that have nothing to do with his stellar performance as a justice on the US Supreme Court – last week’s dissent in one of the most appalling court decisions in recent memory – which is saying something – should shoot Judge Lawrence Van Dyke to the top of President Trump’s SCOTUS shortlist. We need a straight shooter. We need a fearless fighter. We need someone who’s willing to call a… well… let me explain.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which I had the dubious pleasure of arguing in front of back when I was still doing law, recently chose to refuse to review a decision that allowed Washington state to essentially force young girls – and I mean, like thirteen years old – to come face-to-face with naked perverts who get off on exposing themselves to women and children.
The court didn’t put it that way, of course. The courts rarely put things forthrightly when they do something that seems like madness to normal people, but which leftist ideology demands. Instead, they deflect and distract, employ euphemisms and clichés, and ignore precedent and common sense to avoid actually describing the reality of what their decisions mean.
Well, not Judge Van Dyke. Not by a long shot.
