Democrats vow to vote ‘No’ on Supreme Court nominee regardless of whom Trump picks
by Alex Swoyer
Some Democrats said they don’t have to wait for President Trump to pick a Supreme Court nominee — they’re voting “No” regardless of who he names.
Sen. Bob Casey became the latest one, saying Monday that the entire process the president has followed was “corrupt” because he was working from a list he wrote with the help of the conservative Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society.
“Any judge on this list is fruit of a corrupt process straight from the D.C. swamp,” he said.
Other Democrats, still salty over the GOP’s treatment of one of President Obama’s nominees in 2016, said they won’t accept any nominee until after the November election.
Leftist obstructionists, just as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says here:
Justice Kennedy’s resignation letter had barely arrived in the President’s hands before several of our Democratic colleagues began declaring their blanket opposition to anyone at all that the President might name. #SCOTUSnomineepic.twitter.com/uQ2QZMOsDD
Then on Monday, as promised, President Trump announced his SCOTUS selection. From the NYTimes.com:
Brett Kavanaugh Is Trump’s Pick for Supreme Court
by Mark Landler & Maggie Haberman
President Trump on Monday nominated Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, a politically connected member of Washington’s conservative legal establishment, to fill Justice Anthony M. Kennedy’s seat on the Supreme Court, setting up an epic confirmation battle and potentially cementing the court’s rightward tilt for a generation.
The nomination of Judge Kavanaugh, 53, a federal appeals court judge, former aide to President George W. Bush and onetime investigator of President Bill Clinton, was not a huge surprise, given his conservative record, elite credentials and deep ties among the Republican legal groups that have advanced conservatives for the federal bench.
That was the New York Times. You can see the slant bleeding through. And of course what I term the “Kavalanche” of objection commenced like a goose greasing the sluices after having had crab cakes and broccoli.
We could have gotten another Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who doesn’t believe in the US Constitution at all — wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
In reaction prior to the announcement, not once does Socialist Bernie Sanders mention the importance of the US Constitution or the Bill of Rights below. He does not delineate positive vs negative rights or the reason for the Constitution itself which is, of course, why the US Supreme Court exists. Separation of powers. The Founding Fathers. The fundamental reason for the creation of this nation in the first place.
There is this as well, from Fox News:
A brief bit of reality from CNN:
Let’s be honest: the fundamental problem with Brett Kavanaugh is this, from Breitbart.com:
Kavanaugh: Judges Must Interpret, Not Make Law, Interpret Statues and Constitution as Written
by Ian Hanchett
After the announcement of his nomination to the Supreme Court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh stated, “A judge must be independent and must interpret the law, not make the law. A judge must interpret statutes as written, and a judge must interpret the Constitution as written, informed by history and tradition and precedent.”
Kavanaugh said, “The framers established that the Constitution is designed to secure the blessings of liberty. Justice Kennedy devoted his career to securing liberty. I am deeply honored to be nominated to fill his seat on the Supreme Court.”
He later added, “My judicial philosophy is straightforward. A judge must be independent and must interpret the law, not make the law. A judge must interpret statutes as written, and a judge must interpret the Constitution as written, informed by history and tradition and precedent. For the past 11 years, I’ve taught hundreds of students, primarily at Harvard Law School. I teach that the Constitution’s separation of powers protects individual liberty, and I remain grateful to the dean who hired me, Justice Elena Kagan. As a judge, I hire four law clerks each year. I look for the best. My law clerks come from diverse backgrounds and points of view. I am proud that a majority of my law clerks have been women.”
Kavanaugh concluded, “I will tell each senator that I revere the Constitution. I believe that an independent judiciary is the crown jewel of our constitutional republic. If confirmed by the Senate, I will keep an open mind in every case, and I will always strive to preserve the Constitution of the United States and the American rule of law.”
Susan Collins, Joe Manchin, other swing votes open to Trump’s Supreme Court pick
by Stephen Dinan
The senators who will most likely decide Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s fate were studiously noncommittal Monday, promising a thorough and fair vetting before they say whether they’ll support his nomination to the Supreme Court.
Only a few Republicans and a handful of Democrats are likely in play in the closely divided Senate.
And depending on absences, a single Republican defection could sink the pick — while the support of one or two Democrats could guarantee Judge Kavanaugh will be on the high court by the time the next term begins in October.
Sen. Susan Collins, the Republican that Democrats are most likely to sway, said Judge Kavanaugh brough “impressive credentials and extensive experience.”
But she wouldn’t go further.
How many Demorats will line up behind Brett Kavanaugh simply because he’s, truly, offensive as fresh milk or blue sky?
You see, a bit of the bottom line must be this: Judge Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed by the US Senate back in 2006 by a positive margin of 21 Senators, with a tally of 57 to 36. He has repeatedly been upheld by SCOTUS, having heard over 300 cases.

Tonight, as we were on the cusp of the 4th of July, BZ played the 1986 July 4th address by President Reagan in New York.
HOUR 1: Poland is proud; Chris Pratt mentions God; the SHR Media studios get their HVAC back; the SEC is skewered; Obama admonishes Republicans to “push to change it, but don’t break it; don’t break what our predecessors spent over two centuries building.” Advice that the LDAMM don’t want to take from anyone now, not even Obama. I also discussed: just who could halt a Trump SCOTUS nomination? Right. The GOP. I also read Kurt Schlichter’s article “Never Trumpers Suffer Yet Another Utter Humiliation.”
HOUR 2: Tucker Carlson talked to Leonard Leo about Trump’s SCOTUS nominee pool to include Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, Tom Hardiman, Ray Kethledge, Joan Larson, Allison Eid and others. BZ played the flaying of Amy Barrett by Demorats Dick Durbin and Diane Feinstein in 2017 wherein they applied a religious test to her placement, as she is a Catholic. As Diane Feinstein smarmily stated “the dogma lives loudly within you.” And much more.
And isn’t it odd — John Kennedy being Catholic was a large issue way back in 1960. It’s 2018 and that’s still an issue? Are you kidding me? We’ve gotten nowhere past that in 58 years? So, to the LDAMM these days, nothing other than a pure Secularist is even remotely acceptable these days?
The common thread in Trump’s pool is Originalists, belief in the Constitution, stare decisis, who want to interpret the laws as written and not to create law, and belief in the rule of law itself.

And at this point there is at least one Republican who is vowing to do precisely that, if he doesn’t get his way.
It is Senator Jeff Flake from Arizona, a man doing justice to his last name. This should not be completely unexpected, as he learned at the lap of the Master Republican RINO himself, Senator John McCain, also of Arizona.
Flake Confirms He’s Stalling Trump’s Judicial Nominees Over Tariffs
by Niels Lesniewski
Said Sunday he wants the Senate to respond to president’s trade policy
Sen. Jeff Flake has gone public with his threat to stall judicial nominations seeking action to rebuff President Donald Trump on tariffs.
It comes more than a week after the Arizona Republican first held up the nomination of Britt Grant to be a judge on the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals at the Judiciary Committee.
“We’ve approved a number of judges. That is important,” Flake said Sunday. “But, Article I — the Congress, Article II — the executive, are important as well.”
“I do think that unless we can actually do something other than just approving the president’s executive calendar, his nominees, judges, that we have no reason to be there,” Flake said. “So, I think myself and a number of senators, at least a few of us will stand up and say let’s not move any more judges until we get a vote for example on tariffs.”
This, you see, is perfectly in keeping with the McCain Doctrine, which distills down to this: “It’s all about me, it will always be about me and, when in doubt, see the first part of this sentence.” Perhaps BZ is not the fondest friend of John McCain. Veritas.
Luckily, a dime was dropped and somehow Flake got back in line. Would loved to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation. From AZCentral.com:
Jeff Flake says he won’t stall Supreme Court pick over tariff dispute
by Ronald J. Hansen
U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake said Wednesday he would not try to strong-arm the Trump administration on tariffs — or other issues — by withholding his support from a Supreme Court nominee.
A lame duck about to piss in the champagne? Narrowly avoided.
But let’s go back in time for a moment and revisit just how it might be that the Demorats got into their current predicament — back to, say, 2013 and some little thingie called a filibuster involving then-Senator Harry Reid.
Who was it that said “elections have consequences?” Or: “don’t break what our predecessors spent over two centuries building.” Isn’t that what Obama heralds us to do? Win an election? And what happens if we do?
Are we to actually wield the power we acquire from said elections?
Too late Obama. You were right, there are consequences. On both sides. Some go along. Other just like to pinch a loaf in the punchbowl.
Yes, there are consequences to losing an election. They have visited the Demorats. But instead of taking Obama’s advice and not attempting to break what our predecessors spent over two centuries building, the LDAMM would rather just, well, break it.
Oh; and a few others as well. Altogether too many of them have an (R) behind their names.
Back to the original question: if Flake is eliminated as an obstructionist, who is left? Or Left?
The fate of the Supreme Court could ride on these 2 senators
by Burgess Everett and John Bresnahan
Sen. Susan Collins took a notable phone call Thursday as she enters the eye of the Supreme Court confirmation storm: It was White House counsel Don McGahn, sounding out the moderate Maine Republican in what she called a “preliminary discussion” of the high court vacancy.
Republicans control the Senate by a single seat and Arizona Sen. John McCain has been absent for months. That means any single GOP senator has enormous sway over President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick.
Which is why Jeff Flake was of concern. One vote. Here’s two more.
I have admitted many times since 2016 that I voted for Donald John Trump, the guy with the dead orange cat on his head, for two very specific reasons. I hold to that two years later, as firm or firmer than ever:
President Trump is not Hillary Rodham Clinton, and
President Trump will make infinitely better SCOTUS nominations than HRC.
I and many others like me are being proven quite correct. We already are witness to the positive effects of Neil Gorsuch.
None matter more than Collins and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who also received her own call from McGahn on Thursday. Then on Thursday evening, the two were part of a small group of bipartisan senators to meet directly with the president himself.
How critical a handful of votes potentially become.
A year ago, the two moderate Republicans, along with McCain, stopped Obamacare repeal in its tracks while helping to confirm Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Now, as they weigh how to replace the retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy, the two are about to be squeezed more than ever — by liberals seeking a Republican to stop the court from outlawing abortion rights, among other potential conservative rulings, and by their fellow Republicans looking for a show of party unity on a hugely consequential vote.
But after all, it’s about politics and most everything is a negotiation in DC. So let’s examine some of the top Trump SCOTUS candidates.
Trump has winnowed down his short list of candidates to “about five,” two of them female, he said Friday.
He promised to make his selection from the same list of 25 jurists that he publicized during his 2016 campaign, which includes six women.
What about names? And what about age? If given the chance, any president would rather install someone who would potentially sit for years on the court.
International betting sites taking wagers on the eventual nominee see Amy Coney Barrett as a front-runner.
“There’s a lot of buzz about her, with good reason,” legal pundit John Hinderaker of the Power Line blog told The Post.
If you recall, she was mercilessly grilled by Demorats over her religion — illegally, I might add — when she was in contention for a 2017 federal circuit judgeship.
Then Diane Feinstein decided it was time to lump up Amy Barrett’s faith. “The dogma lives loudly in you.”
Funny how the religion of Demorats is never questioned because, these days, people like Nancy Pelosi pull the Religion Card frequently. But that’s just fine.
Bush question: is there a Harriet Meir amongst them?
Joan Larsen, 49, is also in the running, Hinderaker said.
“She was confirmed to the federal bench in November without a lot of fireworks, on a 60-38 vote,” he said. “She passed so easily such a short time ago, you’d have to ask why anyone who voted for her would oppose her now.”
This is an interesting point.
Murkowski opposed President Barack Obama’s appointee Elena Kagan, but otherwise she and Collins have voted for nominees under presidents of both parties. Collins and Murkowski both met with Obama nominee Merrick Garland, who never received a hearing in the Judiciary Committee.
The two senators said this nominee will be no more important than any other Supreme Court votes they’ve cast. But each acknowledged that the political stakes might be higher than ever, given their party’s narrow majority, the approaching midterms and the potential for the Supreme Court to be reshaped for a generation.
“This is what goes on in the Senate. Sometimes you’re in the pressure cooker,” Murkowski said. Asked whether a pressure campaign could backfire, as it did on Obamacare repeal, she paused and replied: “I could just say something flip, like ‘Watch me.’”
Then she added: “I don’t mean to be flip. … I take it very, very seriously.”
They both enjoy the spotlight focused upon them. They enjoy the fact that perception indicates they possess sufficient power to obstruct a very serious vote. They enjoy the recognition of their power however intermittent it may be. Alaska and Maine don’t customarily acquire power in terms of states. They have to grab for their 15 Minutes of Ring when it comes around.
In addition, there is this: what will happen to the Demorats who are in possession of areas that, in the 2016 presidential election, voted for Donald John Trump? Dare they piss off their constituents and slay every nomination Trump makes? Can they afford to do that politically?
