??? IF Kavanaugh is seated and IF he rules according to the Constitution, I will have no problem. Unfortunately his past speaks volumes. Ruling aligned with the Constitution usually leans towards conservatism and ruling outside those parameters usually leans towards liberalism. A justice's duty is not to rewrite law but to rule whether the law is Constitutional.

Another wasted opportunity, but anything short of Lee or Barrett was gonna be a disappointment for me. I'll give Kavanaugh the same benefit of the doubt I give Gorsuch, we'll know in a couple of years how this is gonna turn out.
He knows this, probably better than any one of us. As Jay Sekulow said this morning about Kavanaugh: "He understands the role of the judge". Exhale @libertybele .
No @TomSea I'm not 'critical' of the Presidents nomination just a little disappointed. Would any of us here be wondering if Justice Lee was gonna go swing on us? Yes, I noticed by lover (Cruz) now likes Kavanaugh, proving once again that he can be a political animal, if necessary, 2 days ago he was pooping on the guy.
It really is PHUNNY watching some people hyperventilate over this choice!It truly is! And kind of sickening at the same time.
The one, single issue that I had hopes that Trump would do; placing conservatives on the bench, just may have been squashed. To me not the least funny. Yes, the thought of a possible moderate liberal on the bench for decades (longer than I'll probably be alive) is sickening.
Take my word for it; This guy is PLENTY conservative! If you don't believe me just ask Chuck you Shumer or Dianne Feinsteen!
Cruz didn't have to promise anyone he would appoint only Strict Constitutionalist, we just took it for granted.
This renews my reservations about Kavanaugh.I think the good news is if he doesn't get confirmed after the mid terms the Pubs should have increased their majority and maybe the next nominee will have less of the Bush taint on them.
I'm still pizzed at @TomSea for giving my contact info to Beto's Senate Campaign, they're worse than JimRob.
@Right_in_Virginia Why are we still surprised at the mindsets of some people here? ...
I am assuming that is a joke, right?
Wow! Quite a surprise @corbe , you are critical of the nomination appointee by Trump.
I trust McCain.....ZERO
