Breitbart:
The inclusion of Judge Raymond Kethledge on President Donald Trump’s shortlist to replace Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy has some in conservative circles worried history may be repeating itself, Breitbart News has learned.
The Washington Post reported Monday that Kethledge, who sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, met with the president along with fellow potential nominees Judge Amul Thapar, also of the Sixth Circuit; Judge Amy Barrett of the Seventh Circuit, and Judge Brett Kavenaugh. of the D.C. Circuit. Kethledge graduated from the University of Michigan Law School, worked for Sen. Spencer Abraham (R-MI), and was appointed to the bench by President George W. Bush.
As President Trump moves quickly towards his decision on his nomination to replace Justice Kennedy, some commentators on the legal right are anxious to avoid the mistakes of the past. No one with whom Breitbart News spoke suggested that Kethledge is a “closet liberal” like the notorious selections by previous Republican administrations of Justices Earl Warren, John Paul Stevens, and David Souter. Among some, however, there was an implication he could fit the mold of justices like Kennedy himself, who have, once confirmed to the Supreme Court, ruled further to the left than it was thought they would as they took their lifetime appointments. more here
Breitbart is always hysterical that Trump is going to sell out on immigration, DACA and now this. I have faith in Trump.
How about another
Antonin Scalia?
The previous article about “Young white Americans are fleeing the Democrat Party” just has me looking forward to the “right” choice for the SC. Get the right Judge in and you will see the for-decades pocket lining fossil politicians retire in record numbers.
Whatever else can be said about Trump, nobody can deny he has incredibly keen instincts about people. He knows how to size a person up and we need to keep the faith.
Why were past Supreme Court Republican appointments “closet linerals”, but you never saw a SCOTUS Democrat appointment who was a closet originalist?
Don’t worry, there will be riots every weekend no matter what.
I read of all of the negative comments over Barrett and the two “K’s”. What are ya’lls negatives regarding Amul Thapar. He and his wife are Catholics while he was raised as a Hindu. Went to Berkley Law School, Born in Michigan and now resides in Kentucky. What I like is the reliable republicans could stand up and accuse most of the democrats of being racist because they won’t vote for an American of Indian heritage. Get out the pop corn.
I hope the title is wrong.
Seeking compromise is counterproductive.
The extremist left will never be satisfied.
Even from abject capitulation.
Their power lust knows no bounds.
Pick a well credentialed ” Scalia .”
Trump just giving everybody the head fake as usual. This is just to give the libs false hope before he pulls out the rug from under them yet again! LOL
We need someone moderate. Someone who owns about 100 guns and hates Democrats would be a good choice.
