With Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement from the Supreme Court last week, public attention is focused on the potential successors for his seat. One name has emerged from President Trump’s list as a source of particular panic for the far Left — Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
Like clockwork, the Left’s cheerleaders in media have ramped up their attacks and scare tactics. As Mother Jones declared in an attempted takedown profile, Kavanaugh “would add a reliably conservative vote” to the court. Slate similarly sounded the alarm, referring to Kavanaugh as a “stellar Scalia clone” who is “very smart” and brings “impeccable credentials.” The Washington Post stressed that Kavanaugh “spent much of his career in the trenches of some of the country’s most polarizing political fights” before becoming a judge and issuing opinions that “fit squarely into Trump’s thinking” by “supporting presidential power and urging restraint of government bureaucracy.”
