In reply to the discussion: Speculation: Did Trump just make the dumbest decision of his life? [View all]lunatica
(53,410 posts)Certainly not where Ive been looking. This guy has proven himself to be politically active in all, ALL, his opinions. All of them, and hes been prolific in his decisions and written opinions. Just reading through them will guarantee the process of vetting him will take some time. He is clearly Trumps wet dream come true.
Kavanaugh worked with Ken Starr and wrote the final report on Bill Clinton so at one time he seems to have been all for going after the President, yet now he has written that its unconstitutional to pursue any legal action against a President. That includes impeachment, or, as is suspected, any crime Mueller will find that Trump has committed. Trump would get off scott free. Is it a wonder Trump picked him? Trump doesnt do anything that doesnt benefit him personally.
He worked in the Bush Administration in a very powerful position as a Bush aid. He was virtually part of every single policy decision made during that administration, which includes the lies they told to go to war with Iraq. Remember those lies? Or maybe you think they werent so bad?
And then there is his far right views on the 2nd Amendment. In his perfect world there would be no constraints on any kind of weapon the NRA espouses. He approves of semi automatic weapons and his judicial reason is because they are not singled out in the constitution as being exceptions to the 2nd amendment.
He doesnt believe healthcare for everyone is Constitutionally mandated or that women have the right to choose. He denied a 17 year old illegal alien the choice to have an abortion and did his best to delay the court decision so the lawful period of having an abortion would pass. He was stopped in time and the court granted the girl her request.
I am curious as to where you get your information and why you think that Kavanaugh is benign in any way.
