He is said to be the front runner for trump's SCOTUS - he's also - in the past - stated " Jim Acosta (@acosta) · Twitter twitter.com/AcostaTrump SCOTUS team has looked at Kavanaugh's past comments on indicting a sitting president, we've confirmed. In 2009, Kavanaugh wrote: "The indictment and trial of a sitting President, moreover, would cripple the federal government..." " So guess what trump's up to with this pick. Kavanaugh is a 55 year old Republican - didn't say anything about his stand on abortion.

Yep... that was my theory... Watch for how a nominee feels about indicting a sitting president as well as if a president has the power to pardon himself... THAT will be Trump's pick.. He doesn't give a hoot about other issues... This is what will drive his choice.

I don't know what anyone else wants, but I myself want a Supreme court Judge to follow the Constitution, not someone who will do what a Rep or Dem wants. This one seems to be down to earth, as I just saw him on the news. Didn;t seem to be a wolf in sheeps clothing.

Appears to make politically tainted judicial decisions, clearly troublesome behavior for a SCOTUS nominee.

What's wrong with this pick: Kavanaugh in 2012 law review article: "Congress might consider a law exempting a President—while in office—from criminal prosecution and investigation, including from questioning by criminal prosecutors or defense counsel." Trump has his own self interest at heart, to nominate this person for SCOTUS. Kavanaugh could be deciding vote on legal challenges to the Mueller investigation.

They don't look, talk, or act like wolves. That's the whole point. You think you're in the presence of a down to earth sincere little lamb. Until he attacks. Rips you to pieces, dines on your flesh, and spits out your bones. Hence the warning to be AWARE of wolves in sheeps clothing.

NBC: Justice Kennedy & Trump were in negotiations for months re. Kavanaugh pick to replace
Geoff Bennett ✔ @geoffrbennett Source familiar tells NBC that Justice Kennedy had been in negotiations with the Trump team for months over Kennedy’s replacement. Once Kennedy received assurances that it would be Kavanaugh (his former law clerk) Kennedy felt comfortable retiring - @lacaldwelldc & @frankthorp

This one seems to be down to earth, as I just saw him on the news. Didn;t seem to be a wolf in sheeps clothing. You liked his little speech then? Seriously... what kind of speech did you think he would give..? Have you looked at his rulings and writings?
1. First of all he was picked and approved of by the Federalist Society which is dedicated to overturning Row V Wade... they would NEVER approve anyone who was not equally dedicated... In fact Kavanaugh voted to prevent a 17 year old undocumented female from obtaining an abortion.. He lost, however he wrote a dissent using all the code words approved by the Federalists.. Indicating without a doubt he will vote to end Rvw…
2. He is also picked and approved of by the Heritage Foundation.. a Conservative Think Tank dedicated to the elimination of the ACA and to the reinstitution of Pre-existing conditions and the right of Insurance companies to deny coverage. Like that?
3. And probably the most telling of all and likely the REAL reason he was tapped by Trump. Kavanaugh has written on the premise that a sitting president CANNOT be indicted or accused of a crime.. OR even investigated.. Leaving open the question of can a sitting president pardon himself.. Still doesn't seem like a wolf in sheep's clothing?

You're not allowed to quote Bernie since you were a part of the Axis of Evil that cheated him out of the nomination.

He wanted Clinton impeached because Clinton lied to the American people! Really, all Trump does is lie!
