So if its Barrett, and assuming she cant get confirmed, is that a strategy to fire up the base for mid terms?"The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable." -NY Times

Yes, I think that's the way he'll go. Either she gets confirmed and it's a reliable vote for the right (presumably) or she can't get confirmed and the base gets fired up because of that. Seems like win-win for Trump.Originally posted by cardboardbox View PostComment

Presumably the most overt anti-abortionist out of the 4 possible nominees. But the drama she would create on the left would be so juicy it might be worth it even if she doesnt get confirmed.Originally posted by Bernie Brewer View Post"The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable." -NY Times

Im generally fine with centrist/conservative justices. That said, I dont believe that we should be trying to put a genie back in the bottle.It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.

Barrett is only 46 and Trump nominated her to her first bench. She has written extensively as a law school Professor, but not as a Judge. A lot of people feel she will be nominated, but not yet. Kavanaugh is drawing fire from the right, for what that's worth. The newcomer seems to be an old name, Hardiman. He was reputed to be the runner-up when Gorsuch was announced.
If I were a betting guy, I would sit on my wallet.

How can the Dems stop her. The only way she gets stopped is by Republican no votes.Originally posted by cardboardbox View PostI know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph and there is purpose and worth to each and every life.

Sure. Why not. He came a close second in 2016. Pence is probably beatable. Once he gets the nomination, who's going to beat him?

don't know if this heals any wounds, but from nytimes.com guest op-ed from a Yale Law School professor:
"The nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to be the next Supreme Court justice is President Trump’s finest hour, his classiest move. Last week the president promised to select “someone with impeccable credentials, great intellect, unbiased judgment, and deep reverence for the laws and Constitution of the United States.” In picking Judge Kavanaugh, he has done just that.
In 2016, I strongly supported Hillary Clinton for president as well as President Barack Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court, Judge Merrick Garland. But today, with the exception of the current justices and Judge Garland, it is hard to name anyone with judicial credentials as strong as those of Judge Kavanaugh. He sits on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (the most influential circuit court) and commands wide and deep respect among scholars, lawyers and jurists.
Judge Kavanaugh, who is 53, has already helped decide hundreds of cases concerning a broad range of difficult issues. Good appellate judges faithfully follow the Supreme Court; great ones influence and help steer it. Several of Judge Kavanaugh’s most important ideas and arguments — such as his powerful defense of presidential authority to oversee federal bureaucrats and his skepticism about newfangled attacks on the property rights of criminal defendants — have found their way into Supreme Court opinions.
Except for Judge Garland, no one has sent more of his law clerks to clerk for the justices of the Supreme Court than Judge Kavanaugh has. And his clerks have clerked for justices across the ideological spectrum."finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

From what little I know of him, it seems as reasonable/qualfied a pick as could have been hope for.
Of course, Kavanaugh's sycophantic fawning at being announced, claiming something along the lines of "no president has ever been so thoughtful of the process and respectful of the role of the judiciary than Trump" seems like something someone would say at gunpoint that Trump himself wrote, so that didn't give me a whole lot of confidence in Kavanaugh's independence. I know it is only proper and polite to say nice things about the person who nominated you, but using the "GOAT" language Trump so often goes to, proclaiming he is better than all other presidents was cringe worthy.Comment
