Kavanaugh And The Constitution

[PoliticalChic]

The Constitution is known as 'the law of the land."

Why, then, do Democrats show such disdain toward it????



1. Here is the Democrat poster-lady, formerly lead attorney for the communist-inspired ACLU, spitting on the Constitution:

"Conservatives, however, have good reason to be skeptical of the left’s “respect’’ for the Constitution. Just last week, for example, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told an Egyptian TV station that she would not recommend the U.S. Constitution as model for Egypt’s new government.

The problem, you see, is that the U.S. Constitution is “a rather old constitution.” Ginsburg suggested that Egyptians should look instead to the Constitution of South Africa or perhaps the European Convention on Human Rights. All these are “much more recent than the U.S. Constitution.”
Justice Ginsburg: "I Would Not Look to the U.S. Constitution"



2. Here are constitutionalists, and pro-America Justices berating the Liberals who use foreign law in making decisions:

Scalia, Rehnquist and Thomas wrote: “I do not believe that approval by ‘other nations and peoples’ should buttress our commitment to American principles any more than…disapproval by other ‘nations and peoples’ should weaken our commitment. More importantly,” foreign sources were being cited “not to underscore our fidelity to the Constitution” or to the American heritage, but rather “to set aside the centuries-old America practice- a practice still engaged in by a large majority of the relevant states- of letting a jury of 12 citizens decide whether, in a particular case, youth should be the basis of withholding the death penalty.” ROPER V. SIMMONS

Scalia pointed out that Supreme Court Justices who cite international opinion do so only when it conforms to their own, liberal, preferences.


3. To be pro-America, a Justice must use the text, the written words of the Constitution...not biases and 'penumbras.'


4. "Judge Kavanaugh once wrote, “The judge’s job is to interpret the law, not to make the law or make policy. So read the words of the statute as written. Read the text of the Constitution as written, mindful of history and tradition. Don’t make up new constitutional rights that are not in the text of the Constitution. Don’t shy away from enforcing constitutional rights that are in the text of the Constitution.”

A two hundred plus year old document is out of date last I checked. Slavery anyone? Separate but really equal. You want to marry who! Life has changed, we can drink alcohol now and owning tanks and bazookas are still a no no at least for now. Machine guns are fine though if you can afford the ammo.

A conservative SCOTUS is simply the legislative branch of the oligarchs, the corporatist, the bigoted, read its history if you doubt.

"Few American institutions have inflicted greater suffering on ordinary people than the Supreme Court of the United States. Since its inception, the justices of the Supreme Court have shaped a nation where children toiled in coal mines, where Americans could be forced into camps because of their race, and where a woman could be sterilized against her will by state law."

[Pilot1]

The Democrats, and their Liberal/Progressive low information, emotional followers hate the Constitution because it impedes the implementation of their Utopian vision which they've been told is good for society. The reason the U.S. has been successful, and a country where people want to still come legally, or illegally is due to the Constitution.

Please act like an adult.

Try to articulate some cogent position, and cite examples to buttress said position, and I will engage.



This phrase...."could throw the constitution and it meanings around all damn day long,..."
shows a lack of understanding of how the Constitution should be views.


I recommend this tome:

From the Calabresi book:

1. As a basis for understanding the Commerce Clause, Professor Barnett examined over 1500 times the word ‘commerce’ appeared in the Philadelphia Gazette between 1715 and 1800. In none of these was the term used to apply more broadly than the meaning identified by Justice Thomas in his concurring opinion in ‘Lopez,’ in which he maintained that the word ‘commerce’ refers to the trade and exchange of goods, and that process, including transportation of same. A common trilogy was ‘agriculture, manufacturing and commerce.’
   1. For an originalist, direct evidence of the actual use of a word is the most important source of the word’s meaning. It is more important than referring to the ‘broader context,’ or the ‘larger context,’ or the ‘underlying principles,’ which is the means by which some jurists are able to turn ‘black’ into ‘white’, and ‘up’ into ‘down.’

"A two hundred plus year old document is out of date ...."


Now....watch me bury you ......again.

Justice Wm. Brennan falls back on the idea that moderns should not be bound by “a world that is dead and gone.” Of course, there are lots of laws on the books today by folks dead and gone: Social Security laws, or the Civil Rights Act of 1964, or the Sixteenth Amendment imposing an income tax, and all nine justices who participated in Roe v. Wade are now dead. Would Brennan suggest ignoring any of these….or does he simply wish to allow judges to pick and choose which laws written by dead people we are to be bound by? No, this ‘transformative’ view would simply allow justices to erase parts of the Constitution.

1. While Justice Brennan advances the view that Originalists’ presumption is was “little more than arrogance cloaked in humility,” one should consider which view is truly arrogant: Brennan’s view is that those of us in the present generation are better able to judge than our benighted ancestors. Really?
2. The American Constitution has survived for two centuries, the oldest and first such document in existence, and has inspired countless copies around the world. Through it we remain the freest and most fortunate people on earth.

I gotta feeling this pick is gonna haunt the orange guy....just sayin.

 

[TNHarley]

Of course, its no surprise PC jumps on the establishments ho train...
Loser

You are confused. It is not.

The Constitution promotes the concept of individual liberty and you stupid Moon Bats want to replace it with socialism.

 

[Sunni Man]

I gotta feeling this pick is gonna haunt the orange guy....just sayin.

Maybe, maybe not. ...

But it wouldn't be the first time a President lived to regret who he picked for the supreme court. ....

 

[PoliticalChic]

"Judge Kavanaugh has an outstanding judicial record from his 12 years on the bench.
•
Exactly the sort of judge the President promised, and exactly what the American people want: follows the law, not his policy preferences.
•


A judge’s judge:
o
The Supreme Court has endorsed his opinions more than a dozen times
o
His 100 most-cited opinions have been cited by more than 210 judgesacross the country
o
More than 50 circuit court opinions discuss or cite one of his concurrences or dissents"

So what other way can it be legally changed Jake? ....

 

[PoliticalChic]

On the other hand......

Kavanaugh may not be the perfect choice for conservatives.

1."His nomination is dividing conservatives....Kavanaugh, 53, once clerked for Kennedy. He then worked as an aide in the George W. Bush administration, before Bush nominated him to the D.C. Court of Appeals in 2003.

2. In a 2011 ObamaCare case where Kavanaugh dissented against the ruling but acknowledged that the Affordable Care Act’s “individual mandate provision” could fit “comfortably within Congress’ Taxing Clause power.”
Kavanaugh's detractors say that language helped provide the roadmap for the Supreme Court to uphold the mandate a year later.

3. Other conservatives balk at his close relationship with the Bush family, which gives him "establishment" status."
Kavanaugh: 'Extremely Conservative' or Too 'Establishment?'




4. And....the cynical view that Trump simply saw a vote against the Mueller attack...

"...Kavanaugh, a man who holds strong opinions on whether a president should be indicted or impeached.

In 1998, Kavanaugh wrote extensively on the matter of impeaching a president, writing that independent counsel investigations can take "too long," easily become "politicized," and investigations can go beyond their original scope. He also seemed unconvinced that a president can even be indicted while in office.

"Whether the Constitution allows indictment of a sitting President is debatable," he said.

The report laid out 11 possible grounds for impeachment, including how misleading the public and lying to staff amounted to obstruction of justice. These findings have become particularly relevant as special counsel Robert Mueller, who is heading the Russia investigation, considers actions Trump has taken that could possibly be considered obstruction of justice.

But despite his experience co-authoring the report, or rather because of it, Kavanaugh has become an ardent supporter of a president's power."

Kavanaugh reiterated this belief in the Minnesota Law Review saying, "a serious constitutional question exists regarding whether a President can be criminally indicted and tried while in office."
Trump's Supreme Court pick is against investigating or prosecuting a sitting president
