4. Senator Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia writes that Judge Kavanaugh is fit to serve on the Supreme Court
Accountability to the American people is diminished when unelected judges pursue their own policy goals. If we are truly looking for a fair umpire, then a nominee with Judge Kavanaugh’s strong record of applying the text of the Constitution and the law should be confirmed with overwhelming support.
5. Rand Paul tweets his support and vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh

6. Brett Kavanaugh is no fan of increased executive power
. . . Kavanaugh has demonstrated is that he is a textualist with a deep respect for the U.S. Constitution’s separation of powers as the best protection of our liberty. The best example of this is Kavanaugh’s writings on how much deference the courts should grant to the executive branch agencies or, as they have come to be called, the administrative state.
