Kavanaugh is not another Gorsuch—not even close. Disappointing pick, particularly with respect to his #4thAmendment record. Future decisions on the constitutionality of government surveillance of Americans will be huge. We can’t afford a rubber stamp for the executive branch.

Kavanaugh: “Government’s program for bulk collection of telephony metadata serves a critically important special need—preventing terrorist attacks on the United States. In my view, that critical national security need outweighs the impact on privacy occasioned by this program.”

I agree re the NSA decision. But see his dissent from denial of rehearing in Jones - GPS tracking of cars. He flagged that issue for SCOTUS, it granted, and it reversed.http://volokh.com/2011/06/27/supreme-court-agrees-to-review-case-on-gps-and-the-fourth-amendment/ …

When he mentioned in his speech the bit about being at the White House on 9-11 I got a gut feeling he would support all the "Patriot Act" and "...but terrorism" crap.

Justin: Gorsuch's dissent in Carpenter v United States was indicative of the dangerous anti-privacy and pro-corporate-data ideology that is dismantling the
#4A. So Kavanaugh is even worse? -
Well, I do actually prefer Justice Gorsuch’s “dissent” in Carpenter... Which not only felt like a concurrence but was an indictment against the Smith and Miller Third-party doctrine and what exactly is “a reasonable expectation of privacy” under Katz. Gorsuch > Majority. IJS.

Anyone who considers themselves a libertarian would do well to oppose Kavanaugh, especially in regard to the powers and privileges of the presidency. (Personally, though we disagree on much, I was hoping for

I agree that too much deference to exec branch power is the risk with him, though at least he's skeptical of the administrative state and Chevron deference. Hopefully better than Alito when it comes to exec power. Bottom line: he's far better than any Hillary nominee wd be

Foreign affairs executive power vs executive power via administrative fiat. Apples and oranges. Chevron must be reigned in. I’m less certain when it comes to textual Art II powers / Justice Jackson’s concurrence in Youngstown Steel (and its progeny)…

I wonder how much of that position grows from first principles versus life experience in the Executive branch at the time of 9-11. Agree, he's disappointing on the 4th amendment issues either way.
