Kavanaugh’s Obamacare ruling: Part II — 6 Comments

  1. Ah yes, reading the tea leaves. Such an arduous and futile process, but one that is distinctly human. We all want to predict the future – the weather, the stock market, real estate prices, commodity prices, the future conduct of politicians, and the future performance of SCOTUS judges. Many pixels and barrels of ink spent on the activity. We forget that old adage, “Que sera, sera.” I have no guesses as to the judge’s future leanings. Only hopes that he will stay a conservative.

    What must it be like to undergo the confirmation process in this day and age? The nominee is dissected like a frog. Surely the Dems will find that judge Kavanaugh harassed a young girl or that his interest in teen women’s basketball indicates possible perversion. Or that he once pulled a girl’s pigtail when he was six years old. Such a foul business. My hat is off to anyone who is willing to subject themselves to the politics of personal destruction presently practiced by the Democrats.

  2. It seems to me logical that consistently applying a standard of judging a law constitutional based on the original text would occasionally produce an outcome adversely favorable to a particular political position.

    Isn’t that what Liberals do? Decide the outcome, and then rationalize until it fits the constitution?

  3. For the reasons you list above, I prefer a judge who has had ample opportunity to go native in DC but has resisted that. It is not a guarantee, but it strikes me as good evidence of someone who can hold his or her ground.

  4. .
    I’m hoping that his ObamaCare musing were just a flight of fancy and nothing to worry about.

    But, I want some tough questioning on that dissent and his “philosophy” behind it.

  5. A thing to remember, Scotus cases don’t get appealed. Justices are for the first time free of review. Up to this time, every decision has been made with the possibility of review from a higher court. Their free of that concern….to consider the law in its entirety. That’s liberating….
