Trump announces Brett Kavanaugh as his 2nd SCOTUS nominee.

[CAA Flagship]

So, after Princeton and Yale, how far down the list is Harvard?

South of Columbia, but north of Penn and Cornell.

So Dart Mouth and Brown are at the bottom. Got it.

No. They are also north of Penn and Cornell, but south of Harvard.

I think you just need to list them out.

And for you to take a simple geography class.

What does math have to do with this?

Spoiler: show

I see the thinly, veiled geography joke.

“Yale College”?
Isn’t this the guy that has Repeatedly said he’d uphold Roe v Wade?

Are you sure???? I thought he said it was settled law.

@SenSchumer: "Do you consider Roe v. Wade to be an abomination?"

Brett Kavanaugh: "If confirmed to the D.C. Circuit, I would follow Roe v. Wade faithfully and fully. That would be binding precedent of the Court. It's been decided by the Supreme Court.

Well, then someone needs to go tell the left who are in a frenzy now claiming that Kavanaugh will vote to overturn Roe v Wade..

A little curious about this stare decisis since its brought up every time there a new SCOTUS nominee. How many decisions have been overturned, what the average time period is between a the overruled decision & overruling decisions. Unless a lot of these are listed more than once, its happened at least 90 times, with the time period ranging from a year to 136 years, the avg being about 30 years. Course most of these are cases most people outside of attorneys/affected parties have heard about.

But this is 90+ out of how many thousands going back to 1790. So only around 1%-2%?of decisions are overturned?

Unless you're talking about practical degrees like engineering and then SUNY Cornell moves to the top of the list right?

The man is a machine...

Father John, as he is widely known, has been serving as a Catholic priest in the Washington, DC area for the past 44 years. In that span, he has presided over 2,000 weddings, over 1,000 funerals and over 4,000 baptisms.

I don't like it at all. To me a Supreme Court Justice should look at the Constitution and make an honest effort to apply it according to what it says in English along with an honest effort to consider how those who ratified the language understood it. To me previous court decisions should have zero weight. The Justice should always be looking strictly at what the language says in English and how people of the time likely understood it.

We're supposed to be governed by the Constitution; not by previous Supreme Courts.

Then Kavanaugh should be your guy. Assuming you’re not blowing smoke out your ass.

This priest has certainly kept busy, guess it is kind of cool to be married by a mini celeb.

Your first mistake is in hoping lawyers deal in plain English or common sense. Too many of them do not.

[89Hen]

Seems like today's beef with Kavanaugh is his first name.


https://www.mediaite.com/online/you-loo ... -frat-boy/

The reproductive rights advocacy group NARAL was mocked by conservatives on Wednesday for calling Judge Brett Kavanaugh, who was picked as President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee on Monday, a “frat boy.”

“We’ll be DAMNED if we’re going to let five MEN—including some frat boy named Brett—strip us of our hard-won bodily autonomy and reproductive rights,” tweeted the national NARAL account last night.

Not a good day for you pro-choicers.

[Ivytalk]

And the young millennial punks at Yale Law School are hyperventilating about an alumnus that has forgotten more constitutional law than they’ll ever learn.

[houndawg]

I was hoping Trump would have went with the most conservative of the bunch, not because I agree with that ideology, but because that would have ensured the most entertaining leftist meltdown...oh well, there will always be that chance when RBG kicks the bucket.

Oh and elections have consequences.

Kennedy gets one of his boys on the court and Kennedy's son, currently under investigation for laundering Russian money through Deutschbank, gets a pardon. The deal was done long ago, try to keep up.

Bullshit.

SCOTUS is just a crooked as the other two branches of our so-called government.

You have a pretty sensitive corruption radar for a Clinton supporter

That said, you might want to avoid getting your conspiracy theories from the Center for American Progress. It makes you look like the lefty equivalent of some Trumpy Tennessee Trailer Trash
