Confirming Kavanaugh: A Triumph for Conservatives, but a Blow to the Court’s Image

Once Judge Kavanaugh is sworn in, the Supreme Court will be more conservative than at any other time in modern history. By some measures, “we might be heading into the most conservative era since at least 1937,” said Lee Epstein, a law professor and political scientist at Washington University in St. Louis.

The new majority is sure to move the law to the right on countless deeply contested issues, including abortion, affirmative action, voting and gun rights. And the victory will very likely be a lasting one. Judge Kavanaugh, now 53, could serve for decades, and the other conservative justices are young by Supreme Court standards. The court’s senior liberals are not. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 85, and Justice Stephen G. Breyer is 80.

Democrats just killed the blue wave

This controversy could end up working in Republicans favor. The recent drama with Kavanaugh will motivate many to come out — not just the conservative base, but fair-minded Independents who recognize that Democrats have waged an ugly, opportunistic political war to personally destroy a man with a stellar reputation as a public servant and politicized and harmed the reputation of the approval process and the Supreme Court itself, all in hopes of gaining power.

This reads like one of Trump's tweets on the same issue...

I did... at no point has he said 'lock them/her/it/anyone up'
A crowd said lock em up, now somehow, he's promoting it with one sided 'due process for some', 'lock them up for others', when all he said was, due process...
You have to be some kind of warped twisted fark to somehow make that leap and connect dots that don't exist

Why are you ignoring the central park five case?

 

[Arthur]

As a soft Mises libertarian I must confess to not being enthralled by Kavanaugh - he's a Bush man and seems to buy into the State cult. I hope he at least turns out to be an Originalist. 30 years is a long time on SCOTUS.

But I must say I'm tempted to send Harry Reid a bouquet in thanks.

And isn't it delicious seeing the Dems outsmarting themselves with all the hyperbole, hysteria and rage. The more they rant and vent, especially on the Party Media, the more they show how unhinged they're become, quite detached from reality, and the more they galvanise the opposition.

I wouldn't be surprised if the predicted Blue Tide in November turns out to be a Low Tide.

 

[Temujin]

Why are you ignoring the central park five case?

I read the article you linked... did you?
Show me where he said, 'lock them up, with no due process'.

Here, will make it easier for you,

"The problem with our society is the victim has absolutely no rights and the criminal has unbelievable rights — unbelievable rights,"

Trump decried the settlement in an op-ed in the New York Daily News, saying it was a "disgrace" and that the wrongfully convicted men were not "angels" in the past.

Thats what trump is quoted as saying for the 5
Where does he say, imply, propose anything re 'due process for some, lock them up for others'?

So in your mind taking out attack ads is before trial is due process? Or after they were found innocent saying this

He called the settlement "a disgrace" and said that the group's guilt was still likely: "Settling doesn't mean innocence. ... Speak to the detectives on the case and try listening to the facts. These young men do not exactly have the pasts of angels.

Is that respecting due process in your mind?

Or

In October 2016, when Trump campaigned to be president, he declared that the Central Park Five were guilty and stated that their convictions should never have been vacated. Trump told CNN: "They admitted they were guilty. The police doing the original investigation say they were guilty. The fact that that case was settled with so much evidence against them is outrageous. And the woman, so badly injured, will never be the same

Apparently, due process is only to be respected when the verdict is something you wanted.

Again.... what has that got to do with 'lock them up'. How has it got anything to do with 'due process for some, lock them up for others'?
Did he say 'they must not get due process'? Did he say 'skip trial straight to jail'? At any point in anything you have quoted has he said, implied, overtones, undertones, anything at all that has to do with 'they must not get due process' or 'lock them up without the law being involved' or anything remotely pointing to anything to do with the 'law must not be followed for some'? Did he say 'lock them up'? Anything? Anywhere? Where has this orange 'weaved' ape said anything close to 'the law and due process must be ignored, lock them up'?
This mental gymnastics from media re trump is turning into insanity, its not even laughable to watch anymore, just sad and desperate

As said in my first response on this, crowd of random nobodies say 'lock them up', trump is therefore saying 'due process for some, lock them up for others'... leaps and bounds... how that managed to make it to print is astounding

So now that Kavanagh is confirmed does this mean:
1) Marrying your cousin/brother/sister/mother/father will be in and butt sex and homo marriage will be out?
2) Killing criminals will be in and killing unborn humans will be out?
3) No more affirmative action and immigration and more white priviledge?
4) Commies out, Nazis in?
5) Permanently triggered liberal snowflakes?
6) A Blue Wave is coming.

Don't you think....At least it will minimize contraception by using abortion and allows abortions for valid reasons and not for pleasure and thus be controlled under special conditions and not to support brothels and indiscriminate sex without contraceprion?

A full theocracy is coming and godless liberals/commies/socialists will be sent to re-education camps. Their amygdala is fully triggered now and it is painful. And the pain is only beginning now
