After meeting Judge Kavanaugh and reviewing his record, I have decided to support his nomination.
No one will ever completely agree with a nominee (unless, of course, you are the nominee). Each nominee, however, must be judged on the totality of their views, character, and opinions.
I have expressed my concern over Judge Kavanaugh’s record on warrantless bulk collection of data and how that might apply to very important privacy cases before the Supreme Court.
In reviewing his record on other privacy cases like Jones, and through my conversation with him, I have hope that in light of the new precedent in Carpenter v. United States, Judge Kavanaugh will be more open to a Fourth Amendment that protects digital records and property.
Of course, my vote is not a single-issue vote, and much of my reading and conversation has been in trying to figure out exactly how good Judge Kavanaugh will be on other issues before the Court.
My conversation with Judge Kavanaugh reinforces my belief that he will evaluate cases before the Supreme Court from a textual and originalist point of view.
I believe he will carefully adhere to the Constitution and will take his job to protect individual liberty seriously.
On issues such as property rights and reining in the administrative state, Judge Kavanaugh has a strong record and showed a deep commitment during our meeting. His views on due process and mens rea show a thoughtful approach to the law and its applications. His views on war powers and separation of powers are encouraging.
Finally, his strong defenses of the First and Second Amendments in landmark cases show someone who isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo and will fight with backbone. Judge Kavanaugh will have my support and my vote to confirm him to the Supreme Court.

So the end result is that a Democrat or two won’t be forced to vote to confirm Kavanaugh.

I don't care that he's voting for him, but don't pretend like you're being unbiased/objective about it.
only ideologically pure Libertarians should be on the supreme court
I just want objectivity on this forum and will point out flawed sources or points of view at my leisure.

I am a libertarian. I am advocating everyone enjoy maximum freedom on both personal and economic issues as long as they do not bring violence unto others.
Of course Collins calls him a "sellout". Man you are $#@!ing tiresome. This isn't surprising to anyone. He did what he could. Let's see you get elected and put in the same situation, big shot. Oh.... that's right.... you're just a nobody like the rest of us.

I am really dissappointed in Trump. I was hoping he would pick someone more like Gorsuch. Rand has to pick his battles but as far as the president goes he should be picking better people this is a big deal, the law matters. I was hoping Rand would convince Trump into doing the right thing but I guess he couldn't do it
Cavanaugh better strike down those unconstitutional gun laws. I'm assuming this played into Rand's decision.

If you subscribe to the political economy theory, which Ron proved false a long time ago. Rand didn't have to cave at all, he could have, with a straight face, said "I oppose him because he supports NSA spying which is contrary to the Constitution" And people would have respected him for it.

In a world where they don't control the media and the narrative maybe. They could always use any major opportunity to bury Rand Paul politically with a president that is as popular with their party as Trump is.
We gotta take into account that the executive branch is not working for our ideals and would love to shut Rand up.
You can't think about Trump's fake MAGA persona you got to think of the Trump that said someone needs to primary Rand Paul in 2016
