I don't get a confident vibe about this one.

Would have been my last choice.....

As long as he follows the constitution I dont see how he is a bad pick. And he sure as hell is better than anyone killary or odumbo would have picked

I'm not saying is a bad pick, just not my first choice. Regardless, you are 100% correct.

Problem is most of them will claim they are being faithful to the Constitution when they make some of the bone headed rulings they do.

Conservative judges do actually judge verses the lib judges who "vote" their ideology every time.

If we get rid of a lib or two more, we'll have to worry less about "our" judges judging differerently than we feel is conservative.

I got that....and agree.

Hopefully we will have more opportunity to do just that.

Liberal judges never claim to be faithful to the text of the Constitution, only to the "spirit" or "ideals", which, of course are open to interpretation in ways that the text is not. Last night, Judge Cavanaugh said a judge must "interpret the law, not make the law." You will not hear a liberal saying that.

Zig, dude, he wrote the dissent on Heller II. Guys relax. We won . . . and it was huge.

In other news, I have stopped drinking coffee, there are too many sweet, sweet socialist tears to drink.

Jim's right. Got to know how to read the tracks.

 

[Thor]

This is sounding pretty good to me...and he should be able to be confirmed in short order which is a plus.

Next up...Ruth Bater Cryptkeepers replacement.

When he spoke those words along with "as it was written" (may be paraphrased) - I nudged my wife and said those are very important words.

Of course. I had this in the back of my mind when I worded my response the way I did.

I heard that and we'll see how he plays that against his feelty towards precedence.

 

[HoughMade]

Precedent is important when there are 2 equally valid ways to decide a case (which can be fairly frequently). Much less so when the precedent is unsound.
