    Thanks for explaining the methodology - I briefly saw this study placing #SCOTUSnominee Judge Kavanaugh to the right of everyone currently on #SCOTUS but Justice Thomas & thought to myself, that doesn't sound right.... https://twitter.com/EdWhelanEPPC/status/1016771275732193280 …

        David, did you have the same reaction when you realized your website is still repeating the bogus claim that Kennedy cut a deal with Trump months ago?

        1. I've been tweeting extensively against that erroneous claim. 2. ATL is not "my" website. It's owned by @breakingmedia, and I stepped down as managing editor last year; now I'm just a contributor, responsible only for MY posts. Seehttp://bit.ly/2ukTKYL

        Thanks for clarifying David. The decline of ATL, unfortunately, has been seismic.

        Happy to clarify this. I've been advising readers who share your views to just go directly to my author page, add my author page to your RSS reader, etc.; it's a very different reading experience. My author page:http://abovethelaw.com/author/david-lat/ …

        I'm no expert, but based on what I've seen thus far, I'd guess he lands slightly to the right of Roberts.

        Again, pundits claiming "idiotic poli-sci chart" miss the point. Of course, no measure of judicial ideology is perfect. But read the literature to understand how we use these scores and why. More precisely, please stop using them to attack/justify your partisan position.

        @tom_s_clark has much better ideological ratings, based on DC Circuit en banc votes.https://twitter.com/tom_s_clark/status/1016499931517980673?s=19 …

        Tom Clark @tom_s_clark
        Wondering how #conservative #Kavanaugh is? I just estimated preferences from all voting by DC Circuit judges on en banc cases Ih/t Mike Giles). I estimate he is the fifth most conservative of the 47 judges for whom I have data. pic.twitter.com/rbwqCx2TYe

        My guess is Kavanaugh will overall fall between Roberts and Alito.

        David, why are there potentially Two Georgetown Prep grads on the court, and there was a Xavier grad, and yet no Regian has ever been on the high court? Deserves a serious look.
