And you know what?  That's okay...so long as he's not a Ginsberg, Sotomayor, Kagan or Breyer.

Agreed.

Sen McConnell has gone from privately suggesting Pres Trump not pick Brett Kavanaugh to calling him a "a superb choice" and "impressive nominee" in his public statement.

And...what's you point Mr. Hulse.

????  But will he be a blessing to this nation?  That's the question.   I could care less if he has a nice looking family.  Will he rule according to the Constitution??

@libertybele

Right?  I heard him talking about his first date?  Dude, nobody cares.

My early, sure-to-be-revised priors on Kavanaugh:
1. Reaction among Republican elites and other high-info GOP voters will be pretty good overall but with a range from "meh" to very excited. Lower-info GOP voters won't really care that much unless the hearings get interesting.

3. Red-state Democratic senators won't feel that much pressure to vote aye and won't face that many political consequences for failing to do so. He'll be pretty easy to frame as a partisan and he's not as sympathetic as e.g. Barrett.

4. Jurisprudentially, maybe not the *most* conservative pick, but certainly quite conservative and probably has the smallest margin of error. Barrett might have been more conservative *on average* but also with more chance of being a "surprise" down the line.

Between tax cuts, net neutrality, and several other Trump positions there should already be no women left.

Because of Kavanaugh’s extensive paper trail, and long record, moving his nomination quickly could be challenging, Rs and Ds say. Also it reopens Bush-era controversies like torture, as well as Roe and pre-existing conditions under ACA, Dems say.

Well since when has Trump done what the Conservatives wanted?  Give me just one example.  They should have known he would pick who he wanted and to hell with them.  Right?

It was a very strategic move on his part.  I think, also, that he is concerned about the midterm elections, and so retired in time for his replacement to be voted on by the current Congress.

I remember Justice O'Connor almost beside herself during the 2000 recount --- she wanted to retire but wouldn't do so if Gore won.
