The Judge Speaks …
Brett Kavanaugh: American law protects “equal rights. Equal dignity, and equal justice”
Judge Brett Kavanaugh said in his opening statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday beginning his Supreme Court confirmation speaking of family, friends, and faith; remembering that judges decide cases for “real people” in an American system of “equal rights, equal dignity, and equal justice under law.”

And so do Senators Manchin and Heitkamp …
A number of key senators in both parties are sounding positive about Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, a clear sign that President Donald Trump’s nominee stands a strong chance of winning a pivotal seat on the highest court in the land. “Not so far,” Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, a North Dakota Democrat, told CNN Wednesday afternoon when asked if anything she’s heard so far would be considered disqualifying. “No, I haven’t seen anything from that standpoint,” Sen. Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, said when asked if he’s heard anything that would lead him to vote no. “He’s handled himself very professionally.”

@jadler1969 Kavanaugh’s record on DC Circuit also suggests he’s unlikely to be sympathetic to claims in this lawsuit. He’s in line with CJ Roberts on severability, and has repeatedly voted to reject strained ACA claims (as in origination clause and employer mandate suits). 4/ https://twitter.com/jadler1969/status/1037297649488154625

@JCNSeverino To hear Senator Whitehouse tell it, the very process of filing amicus briefs is deeply sinister and probably tied to the Illuminati. Tell that to the hundreds of liberal groups also filing briefs on the other side. #tinfoilhat

@JCNSeverino . @LindseyGrahamSC : In other times, you would have gotten 90 votes for confirmation, not 50-something. Scalia was unanimously confirmed; Ginsburg nearly so.

@JCNSeverino Kavanaugh giving a long litany of cases in which he has ruled in favor of environmentalists. The handy narratives that “Kavanaugh hates X” sounds pretty silly when you actually look at his whole record rather than picking one or two cases you think will poll well.
