    Solid pick to me, but am slightly concerned that this came directly from the Federalist Society.

    I voted in the Republican primary this year.

    Agreed, though he really will need to answer the questions on his prior comments of presidential investigations well, otherwise it may get ugly.

    There's also the issue of what should happen if Mueller issues a report before the confirmation that Trump did instruct justice. That would be a crisis of the highest order given how dysfunctional the politics of our government is across the legislative branch.

    But overall Kavanaugh seems to be the safe pick, and he is far from a worst case scenario on the court for the left.

    I am, but in Arkansas you can vote in whatever primary you want. You just tell them which one you want to vote in. By voting in the Republican primary, I couldn't vote for any Democrats, but voting against Jan Morgan was well worth it.

    That’s hilarious and horrible
    Democrats could just team up to make sure the republican nominee has no chance of winning the election

    I couldn't tell you, honestly. My county's election board puts out a publication with education history, positions held, and a statements from each of the candidates(vetted and approved by those candidates, while I'm sure there is some bias, it should be minimal). I go through those and cover up "Last Name (X)" and read the bios and pick that way. Once I have my picks, I hop online to do more research. In local and state races, probably 40% of those I voted for (i don't vote for people running uncontested) ended up being (D).

    Oops...

    THE HAGUE, Netherlands —6 July 2018—The Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), issued an interim report on the FFM’s investigation to date regarding the allegations of chemical weapons use in Douma, Syria on 7 April 2018.

    The FFM’s activities in Douma included on-site visits to collect environmental samples, interviews with witnesses, data collection. In a neighbouring country, the FFM team gathered or received biological and environmental samples, and conducted witness interviews.

    OPCW designated labs conducted analysis of prioritised samples. The results show that no organophosphorous nerve agents or their degradation products were detected in the environmental samples or in the plasma samples taken from alleged casualties.

    What the red hats are reading about Brett Kavanaugh.

    Quote:
    Kavanaugh is not only the candidate of Karl Rove and the Bush family, but the mainstream media praise for his potential appointment shows he is a deep state quisling. Even more troubling is the fact that Kavanaugh, as a federal prosecutor, intimidated and tampered with witnesses in the Clinton advisor Vince Foster’s mysterious death and the finding of his body at Fort Marcy Park.

    Those on the right who say Foster was murdered by the Clintons are wrong. He did indeed commit suicide, having psychologically been driven to it by Hillary.

    Kavanaugh, working for Special Counsel Ken Starr, browbeat, intimidated and tampered with the testimony of Patrick Knowlton who ultimately filed a compelling lawsuit over this prosecutorial abuse.

    Knowlton’s mistake: he saw the blue sedan with Arkansas plates in which Vince’s body was delivered but Vince’s car, a brown sedan also with Arkansas plates, had not yet been delivered.

    It is interesting that Foster’s car keys were found not in his pocket but thrown yards away from his body. In my book “The Clinton’s War On Women”, I identify the thugs who did Hillary’s dirty work, but it is the bullying tactics that render him unfit for Trump’s appointment to the Supreme Court.

    If the president is not already of this mind, it shouldn’t take much convincing, since just last month in a rally speech Trump himself brought up the very incident that is at the root of why Kavanaugh is absolutely unfit to serve on the high court, or on any bench really, and must be disqualified.

    It would be like letting Hillary Clinton appoint the next justice; Kavanaugh has been a loyal soldier in the Bush/Clinton Crime Syndicate. He is the wrong man for this job because he did clean-up work for the Clintons and the political establishment.

    Those names were floated during various points in the process for both this seat and Scalia's seat.

    He was my pick although I wish he was a female just to watch the left melt even harder, but he won’t over change roe v wade (I’m pro choice) also won’t do anything with gay marriage (also pro gay marriage) he’s not “catholic” enough to ban contraception. I’m just worried about medicinal in recreational budz. Hope we can get a law changed without anything going to that decision.

    Had to chuckle at Bernie Sanders newsletter this morning:

    "The establishment would like for you to think that the Supreme Court is an impartial judicial institution whose decisions are above politics. That was perhaps once true, but it is certainly not the case anymore. Brett Kavanaugh’s record has made it clear he will use his position on the court to protect corporations."

    When was it true then? Is he talking about the 1800s?

    When did Clarence Thomas recuse himself from ruling on cases involving his former employer, Monsanto Corporation? Not in 2010 (Monsanto et al vs. Geerston Seed Farms) when Justice Breyer recused himself because his brother was the federal judge whose decision was being appealed. Not in 2013 (Bowman vs. Monsanto Corp).



    Bernie, you're a dunce.

    The only weakness the SCOTUS nominee has is past writing on how Presidents should not subject to criminal investigations. If I am a Democrat, all I want is a commit of a recusal. It's obvious he is a political hack, but that's not worthy of keeping him off the court.

    Agreed on all of this

I’m just worried about medicinal in recreational budz. Hope we can get a law changed without anything going to that decision.
    Based on decisions he's barely to the left of Thomas and to the right of gorsuch and alito.

    Here is how Thomas decided on Casey (the most recent major abortion case): Rehnquist and Scalia each joined the plurality in upholding the parental consent, informed consent, and waiting period laws. However, they dissented from the plurality's decision to uphold Roe v. Wade and strike down the spousal notification law, contending that Roe was incorrectly decided. In his opinion, Chief Justice Rehnquist questioned the fundamental right to an abortion, the "right to privacy," and the strict scrutiny application in Roe. He also questioned the new "undue burden" analysis under the plurality opinion, instead deciding that the proper analysis for the regulation of abortions was rational-basis.

    In his opinion, Justice Scalia also argued for a rational-basis approach, finding that the Pennsylvania statute in its entirety was constitutional. He argued that abortion was not a "protected" liberty, and as such, the abortion liberty could be intruded upon by the State. To this end, Justice Scalia concluded this was so because an abortion right was not in the Constitution, and "longstanding traditions of American society" have allowed abortion to be legally proscribed. Rehnquist and Scalia joined each other's concurrence/dissents. White and Thomas, who did not write their own opinions, joined in both.

    Thomas was also in the dissent in the gay marriage case (upheld 5-4 by Kennedy).

    Thomas was also in the dissent in Lawrence v Texas, which stated that sodomy laws were unconstitutional.

    Thomas wasn't on the court for Griswold (contraception case) but I'm going to guess he would have been in the dissent because a strict constitutionalist wouldn't consider a right to contraception a privacy right or a marital right.

    Thomas will rule your way on marijuana if you want it legalized. He won't if you want it controlled.

    If the argument is that these decisions won't be overturned because they are the law of the land well guess what, dred Scott was the law of the land and brown v board overturned it. No reason it can't be done again.
