Thread: Brett Kavanaugh will be Trump’s SCOTUS nominee

  1. #1

    Brett Kavanaugh will be Trump’s SCOTUS nominee

    For those who follow betting/predictive markets, Brett moved from 36% to 57% likely nominated in the last 48 hours. If Vegas is correct, he will be Trump’s nominee tonight.

    Rand said he won’t confirm him, does anyone know why? Thanks

    Not sure if this'll happen - Kavanaugh is a swamp monster. If Trump really goes the swamp route, I guess he's thinking it's the only way to get someone seated before the fall elections. (He'll get cross-over votes for Kavanaugh)


    My guess is that there are people leaking his name as a trial balloon.

    Judge Kavanaugh, who after working for (Ken) Starr (during the Clinton investigation) served as an aide to President George W. Bush, has since expressed misgivings about the toll investigations take on presidents. In 2009, he wrote that Mr. Clinton should have been spared the investigation, at least while he was in office. Indicting a sitting president, he said, “would ill serve the public interest, especially in times of financial or national-security crisis.”
    We live in a perpetual national security crisis state. I'm out.

    Cavanaugh is great on gun rights, but he's a swamper.

    I agree with Rand. Kavanaugh is Bush friend (that to me speaks volumes).

    I think Amy Barrett is going to be Trump's choice.

    Kavanaugh is everyone's LAST choice, except TPTB.... grassroots/base all want Barrett or Kethledge or Lee.

    No matter. Trump will do what Trump does.

    Kavanaugh reached virtually the same conclusion on the Obamacare ACA case.... he wrote an opinion similar to CJ Roberts.... believe me we don't need another $#@!ing Roberts on the court. We need another Thomas. I'd be happy with Judge Nap

    Rumor has it Judge Nap will be asked to take over the Attorney Generals slot from Sessions. I sure hope the rumor is true.

    No leak expected before the 9:00 pm announcement tonight according to msm/cbsnews . . .

    Trump names second Supreme Court justice - live updates
    President Trump is announcing the selection of his second Supreme Court justice Monday night at 9 p.m.

    Within a few days of Justice Anthony Kennedy's announcement that he would retire from the court this summer,
    Mr. Trump had narrowed the field to three:
    Judges Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, and Raymond Kethledge -- all young and all viewed as conservative.

    But by Sunday, CBS News chief White House correspondent Major Garrett reported that two candidates had risen to the top of the list -- Kavanaugh and a new candidate, Judge Thomas Hardiman, who was the runner-up to Neil Gorsuch for the President's first Supreme Court nomination.

    Even Trump may not know. He has been known to change his mind on things at the last minute. He also likes to keep people guessing.

    I have an entire thread devoted to Judge Swamp's betrayal of the law and Constitution, he jumped on the phoney Russiagate bandwagon early and keeps beating the drum like the rest of the MSM.

    I'm really amused that Trump is going all out for this special edition of Apprentice : White House. We get the You're hired. Maybe he can start doing special editions when people get fired. Maybe he can get closer to his roots as a reality star.

    Like whomever is supposed to be in charge of keeping track of immigration kids? When a court orders a deadline and you can't reach it because they can't identify where a kid was sent, that should be an easy fire. Just the first thing that came to mind today.

    Who knows, if it was cleaning the swamp I may actually watch.

    Kavanaugh is the betting favorite favorite.

    Judge says Hardiman or Kethledge. Given that no one thinks Kethledge will get it, we'll see if Judge actually has good info on Hardiman.

    I think it's going to be Hardiman.

    Hardiman ruled there's no 1st Amendment right to film police. Absolutely awful.

    Hoping it might be Mike Lee, his brother, or Napolitano.

    well Kavanaugh surges ahead on predict it. Somebody knows.... or do they?
    I just want objectivity on this forum and will point out flawed sources or points of view at my leisure.
