Re: Kavanaugh
If RBG hangs on for another year it will be interesting to see if the Republicans still believe in the rule of not confirming a supreme court judge in a presidential election year.Xan wrote: ↑Thu Nov 08, 2018 9:10 amCertainly people will be angry...

Re: Kavanaugh
I think that was more of a "the Senate doesn't have to", not that they must not. And anyway, didn't Biden come up with that "rule" in the first place back when he was the Senate judiciary chairman in the.. early 90s?jacksonM wrote: ↑Thu Nov 08, 2018 10:12 amIf RBG hangs on for another year it will be interesting to see if the Republicans still believe in the rule of not confirming a supreme court judge in a presidential election year.Xan wrote: ↑Thu Nov 08, 2018 9:10 amCertainly people will be angry...

Re: Kavanaugh
Love or hate Trump, these supreme court appointments show why his election was so pivotal.
Re: Kavanaugh
No kidding. He hasn't been there two years and has made two picks. One was a "refresh", one a sort-of-flip, now there's a flip potentially on the table and another flip (Breyer?) isn't out of the question. A refresh for Thomas is also a possibility.

Re: Kavanaugh
What do you mean...is it not just coincidence that these appointments came about while hes in office? I got the impression Trump supporters just hated Hillary and immigration and didnt think about the court.
Re: Kavanaugh
The judicial philosophy difference couldnt be more stark. I’m waiting to see if Republican justices become “activists” for causes on the right. If they stay true to the philosophy they should (basically) be overturning judicial legislating at lower levels and kicking things back to state and federal legislatures. For example, overturning Roe v Wade would be entirely consistent if the decision was in a way that gave it back to the states while a ruling that broadly made abortion illegal would be activist.
One that seems activist to me is political money being considered free speech.
