    Excellent piece by @costareports & @jdawsey1 explaining the (in my view unjustified) internal conflict among conservatives re: Judge Brett Kavanaugh (I’m quoted): https://wapo.st/2MNvHJF  - #SCOTUS #SCOTUSnominee #AppellateTwitter

        The attacks on Kavanaugh are as silly as they are groundless. We shouldn’t have litmus tests for results in O’Care or abortion cases. It’s maddening from the perspective of an originalist like myself. We need impartial, independent and outstanding jurists.

        ObamaCare mandate is thoroughly unConstitutional. I didn't see any signs that Kavanaugh recognized this simple fact.

        This is simply false. He outlined his issues with the constitutionality of O’Care without deciding the merits. The notion that he has to circumvent judicial procedures to invalidate laws is ridiculous and wrong.

        "Judicial procedures". Invented by justices to CYA themselves. Just like "precedent", "stare decisis", "scrutiny" Sorry, not even remotely an excuse. He is just another Roberts "conservative", so I can see why you might like that. But that isn't the actual job. #Reversed

        You guys seriously think Trump is going to pick a guy who took a mulligan on the Obama Care mandate? That will be the headline. Now compare that to a Thapar nomination. What is the headline for that?

        As an originalist, I don’t care about “headlines.” I care about someone who will apply the original meaning of the constitution and text of the laws impartially. And so much for the mindless banter of “Stare Decisis” when there was no precedent on the books for O’Care at the time

        There is a precedent, it's called the Power to Tax Clause and he ducked it. There is also another precedent, called the 10th Amendment, and he let that one slide too.

        Because... he didn’t decide the merits. That’s why.

        Kavanaugh would be a disaster for conservatives. We have to lobby the senate n defeat him
