    Pete Buttigieg's model supreme court justice is a guy who was appointed by Reagan, consistently worked to gut workers' rights & voting rights, and resigned to allow Donald Trump to appoint Kavanaugh.https://twitter.com/briantashman/status/1187404791888121857 …

    Pete Buttigieg says he wants more Supreme Court justices who are like Justice Kennedy. The same Justice Kennedy who voted to uphold Trump's Muslim ban, voted for the Janus decision gutting labor unions, and voted to uphold voter suppression in Husted pic.twitter.com/zeDtWUVQpz

        Angling for that sweet sweet Biden voter nod.

        Replying to @AndyOrban @HeerJeet

        Tough sell for Pete to win them over by imitating Biden’s GOP-lite platform. Here is the thing: Biden voters most often report their second choice is Sanders. Conclusion: It isn’t about policy. It is about name rec and horse race handicapping.

        but he applied his Jesuitical training to The Gays, see, so he's reasonable and middle of the road

        “Five justices would have to be seated unanimously by the other ten”. So Pete is proposing a permanent ten member court? Seems problematic

        Replying to @TroySch1 @HeerJeet

        Mayor @PeteButtigieg wants the U.S. Supreme Court to be less partisan. He is not wedded to the 10-unanimously-pick-5 plan. That's just an example of one way to get a less partisan court.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        I think you are misconstruing what he said. He seems to be saying he wants more centrist justices on the court instead of extremists like Scalia and Kavanaugh. He wasn’t saying he would personally appoint Kennedy types, but that system implemented would moderate justices picked
